2. Montreal Canadiens - Champions still strong all over the place Success
3. Philadelphia Flyers - I think I have a decent team +2 Success
4. Ottawa Senators - Led by the Staals, under-rated team Failure, dunno why though
5. Buffalo Sabres - Giguerre last year before rask takes over, good enough +1 Success
6. Washington Capitals - They always make the playoffs -2 Make it again?
7. Atlanta Thrashers - They always make the playoffs too Made it again
8. Carolina Hurricanes - Another under-rated team who keep getting better Fail, Its been a collapse
9. New York Rangers - Could be in the playoffs with couple bounces Got couple bounces and are in
10. Toronto Maple Leafs - They don't have enough talent I was being nice to Rob, turrible team lol
11. New York Islanders - Got Lundqvist, who should add to victory total from last year Fail, Lundy added lots of wins and into the playoffs
12. Boston Bruins - Some more talent but not good enough Fail
13. Florida Panthers - Long year in Florida -2 Success
14. New Jersey Devils - The rebuild continues Got the missing playoffs part right
15. Tampa Bay Lightning - Even longer year in Tampa Wasn't as long but still looong

*****The standings are based on total points not division seatings.*****

So I'll get about 10-11 teams right for my playoff prediction....Pit, Ott, Chi missing was not foreseeable though...
