Standings

My Prediction: 33-18-5 (71 points) – 1st Place

Actual Standings: 32-17-7 (71 points) – 4th Place

My God! I hit the points exactly on the nose. Sure, I was off by three places but I will absolutely count getting the number of points right. I had:

1. Islanders 33-18-5 (71 points)

2. Washington 31-18-7 (69 points)

3. Boston 29-19-8 (66 points)

4. Philadelphia 29-20-7 (65 points)

5. Rangers 28-22-6 (62 points)

6. Pittsburgh 26-22-8 (60 points)

7. Buffalo 25-26-5 (55 points)

8. New Jersey 19-25-12 (50 points)

The East was actually:

1 Pittsburgh 37-16-3 (77 points)

2 Washington 36-15-5 (77 points)

3 Boston 33-16-7 (73 points)

4 Islanders 32-17-7 (71 points)

5 Rangers 27-23-6 (60 points)

6 Philadelphia 25-23-8 (58 points)

7 New Jersey 19-30-7 (45 points)

8 Buffalo 15-34-7 (37 points)

Playoff Predictions

Again, I was fairly close here too. I had the Islanders losing in the Semi-Final although it was to the Vegas Golden Knights. My semi-final was Islanders vs Vegas and Carolina vs Vancouver (yikes) with Carolina and Vegas in the Final.

I’m not perfect, there were definitely some blunders but overall, I think I did a fairly okay job with my predictions. Okay, you can roast me in the comments now.
