Introduction
September is tomorrow and there’s only one week until the Edmonton Oilers hit the ice again for their first preseason game.
Every year, for funsies, I love making those predictions for the standings. Last year, I had the Tampa Bay Lightning winning the cup and I came awfully close this year. However, that’s where most of the glory ends: I had the St. Louis Blues being a cup contender (which they still are, but have so many playoff demons.)
Who had the Calgary Flames finish behind Edmonton for 7th in the Pacific? Who was the guy who had the Columbus Blue Jackets winning the Metro? But hey, for every miss there’s a couple I get right, like the San Jose Sharks missing the playoffs.
So today, I wanted to do my prediction of the Pacific Division, because it’s the most Oiler-related division. Besides, it’s all in good fun.
Next: 7th. Arizona Coyotes
