Okay so, my month long monthly Avy bet is over. Kenny your final loss of the season is against olorado if you want to bet again.

Post in the thread if you want to predict playoff results this year as they start soon.

Since Amp and Kenny said they were interested the group is:

I'm sure Max will join in too. Bet is fine with me, just realized I've had my avatar for over a week so I can get rid of it but it's growing on me. Reminds me of how goofy the Avalanche are. 

Wild are in a tough position but I think we'll pull through. We will probably lose to the Kings tomorrow but our last 3 games are against the Oilers, Flames, and Avalance which are teams we've dominated all year so that should keep the playoffs alive for us.

Almost forgot- I don't know what it is with these polls but it tends to let me re-vote every couple of days.



That's Crawford for you. Letting in a 100 footer



2 more wins to clinch presidents trophy.



Here's my prediction.

If the Blackhawks go with Corey Crawford, they won't get past the second round.

Just be happy your team is for sure making the play-offs. Things aren't looking too good over here.

Yeah, what's up with the Wild?  I don't follow them closely enough to know what the problem is.

Just having problems producing goals. The coaching frustrates me, I wish they'd let me make the lines. 

Basically some tricky things need to happen this week but we absolutely have to win at least 2 games of our remaining 3 unless Columbus manages to lose their last 2 games. Bad thing is...we face the Kings tonight so I'm worried. By the look of things, IF we do make play-offs it'll probably be 8th seed which is terrible news for us  because there is no way we can take Chicago first round.

I was thinking that the coaching could be the problem.  The Wild have enough talent on paper to make the playoffs easily.  By the way, you guys could still wind up facing the Ducks.  That wouldn't be as tough of a matchup I don't think.

We're ruining the development/confidence of who I would say is our top prospect. Sometimes I don't think the coach knows the purpose of the 4th line and for some stupid reason we have Pominville on the 3rd line after acquiring him at the deadline from Buffalo. 

I wish we could slip into 6th because I'd love to see the Wild destroy the Canucks. The Ducks have had our number all year, but the playoffs wouldn't quite be the playoffs without some upsets. Plus things would be interesting here if our teams went at it first round but it's something I'd like to see happen as a conference final.   

As for the Blackhawks, They've lost their past 2 putting the Presidents Trophy at jepardy but they'll probably still come out on top because they should be able to beat Calgary and Edmonton.
