Oh I do it, but at least I'm not afraid to admit when I think Ottawa's going to win, even if it's against Montreal. It's the same the other way around, I'm not afraid to admit when I think Montreal's going to lose.
This year, you said Montreal's going to win and Ottawa's going to win. As soon as Ottawa started to look like they were going to lose the series, you swapped sides, just like when Boston started to do good.
When Montreal was against Philly, even when Montreal was down 3-1 I didn't start saying Montreal was going to lose because I truly believed Montreal was going to come back because they dominated all the games in that series.
I don't know, I just find you switch around a lot.

yeah but thier called predictions...i made them before they played, and i truly though ottawa would win based on thier record against pittsburg this season, and when i "swapped" sides, it wasn't like i was rooting for pittsburg, i was just showing that i didn't figure that ottawa stood much of a chance of winning when thier down 2 or 3 games to 0.
But the whole montreal thing...i didn't think that they would beat Philly, that was just a hands down thing...but i didn't think that philly would beat them that fast, i was accually suprised that montreal didn't bring to game 7, or game 6. The only time I "switched sides" was in the last two games of the MTL-BOS series, and i siriously thougt that Boston had worked thier way into beating Montreal's strategy and Price.

So with the season approaching, time to make some predictions everyone. Who will be the top scorers? What do you think the standings will look like? Make as many predictions as you like.

well if stamkos is anything like ovechkin and crosby (well ovechkin anyways, 55 goals in his rookie season) he's not gonna let tampa bay down, but what i've come t realize is that tampa bay has no defence left, and they have kolzig inbetween the posts, so unless they become like ottawa, a 1 line team (YES I KNOW I SAID OK!!!, i think things are changing up this year for ottawa) and hope that thier offence can carry the team

I agree with you VD, I would not be shock if Tampa Bay does not make the playoffs this year. I think that they need to find a number one goalie. Yes I really like Mike Smith but I think that he is not really to be a number one goalie yet

Yah I agree pretty much with your predictions Vince, the only thing I think might be a bit of a battle is chicago and columbus. They have both improved and they will have to battle for their spot in the playoffs.

Boston vs Montreal
I'm going with Boston in 5. I think that Boston has more size then Montreal and Montreal will not match up against then good. Easy series for Boston the only way Montreal has a chance is if Carey Price steals the games another then that its going to be a early golf season for the boys.
Washington vs New York
I'm going with Washington in 6 or 7. I think that only way that the rangers have a chance is there goalie wins then the series another then that I really don't like the way they face up against Washington.
New Jersey vs Carolina
This series can go both ways. I really like Carolina chances but I have to go with New Jersey because of the new wins record holder. New Jersey in 5 or 6.
Pittsburg vs Phillidelphia
This series is going to be the one the watch in the eastern. Phillidelphia is going to be hitting the h3ll of Pittsburg. But the pens have Makin and sid. So I pick Pens in seven
