The NHL season is upon us so why not predict what is going to happen this season?
The Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames make the playoffs. California dominated that division last year but I think Canada will start to climb back. One team places third, the other gets a wild card.

The Stars win the West and Tampa wins the Cup.
So now you know who not to put your money down on.
