2014-15 NHL Regular Season Predictions

The NHL season is upon us, and like every season, everyone has a prediction of which team ends up where. We here are not immune to this. Without further ado, I present our (probably completely wrong) regular season predictions.

Two Other Items

1. I will have an honest-to-goodness post for the season opener on Wednesday. There have been a few things over the past month or so I want to touch on but haven't.

2. I joined a hockey league this year. This'll be the first time I'll actually be playing start-to-finish in a league (I have played in a few leagues, but only as a fill-in, barely more than a handful of games). Inspired by what MDK does**, I have decided that for every point I get, I'll donate a sum of money to Autism Nova Scotia. I haven't figured out the numbers yet as I want to play a few games first, but at the end of the season I'll total it up and donate that amount.

**MDK plays rugby. He donates for every try he scores, scrums won, and lineouts won.
