The Flames are a bit behind but the NHL is about to enter it's second half of the season today. How you making out on your predictions so far?

2 Points behind Iginla, but he does lead the team in goals and points-per-game (tied with Hudler). Going to give myself a pass on this one.
Stajan has a decent season playing with Hudler. Ends up as a regular in the line up and loses his goat status among most Flames fans.
Pretty happy with the prediction so far. Especially as Stajan's first couple real decent games came when he was centering Hudler.
Backlund disappoints though and gains that title.
Was disappointed Backlund got hurt, I suppose. But I was about as wrong as I could be with this one, it's a loss.
Baertschi has an impressive but quiet rookie season. Fails to gain much attention from the league but shows promise, misses out on Calder consideration.
Vague prediction, clearly not in Calder consideration and he did have some impressive shifts but it's another easy loss for me.
Flames have a reversal of fortune and end up securely in the top 10 in goals-for but can't keep the puck out of their own net and end up in the bottom half for goals-allowed.
Flames were 9th in goals/game just a couple days ago, and were even 11th as early as yesterday. Unfortunately they've fallen all the way down to 16th thanks to the shutout against the Ducks. Not right on this one, but still haven't been ruled out.

Taking this one as a win so far as well.
As for things I didn't see coming:
Chicago's streak.
Montreal going from worst in the East to fighting with Boston for conference lead.
Ducks in clear control of the division lead.
Voracek on pace to beat his last year totals. Not pro-rated - the guy has 29 points in 25 games.
