Wishful thinking on my part granted, I felt like my predictions were rather pedestrian so I decided to throw a wild card into the mix.

Southeast: Atlanta Thrashers
Central: Detroit Red Wings
Northwest: Vancouver Canucks
Pacific: Anaheim Ducks

Conference Champs:

East: New York Rangers

Stanley Cup Champion: Vancouver Canucks

Trophy Winners:

Hart: Sidney Crosby, PIT
Vezina: Roberto Luongo, VAN
Calder: Jack Johnson, LA
Art Ross: Sidney Crosby, PIT
Maurice Richard: Alexander Ovechkin, WSH

Playing it relatively safe, I have a feeling Jack Johnson is destined for big things.

Danny is my favorite player but if he wins the Hart for Philly I am burning down Darcy's house!

Sorry man, I've just had a weird feeling about the Canucks after watching them against the Ducks in the playoffs.

[lafountain]

So we are about half way through, how do your predictions look?

Mine are still possible but the Sharks have a lot of work to do. Starting to really doubt my choice for Richard trophy though, Heatley is having a good year but the year that Kovalchuk, Ovechkin, and Iginla are having is gonna make it tough for anyone else to compete for that one. Backstrom has started to come alive, but it might be too late already.

Hmmm, for my division picks I am still doing pretty well (except Colorado) but ouch those Conference Finals picks seem a bit off at the 1/2 way mark.

I still like my individual picks. I think Crosby will only pick it up more in the second half.

[lafountain]

Well looking back at the predictions.

Brilliant was the only one to get 3 Division Champs right.

ZoomZoom was the only one to get either the Art Ross or the Richard right as he picked Ovechkin to win the Richard.

I enjoyed following AO this year, I had him pegged for 64 goals and he one-upped me and got 65. Its scary to think that he could've easily gotten to 70 at the rate he was going. I still think he'll get the Art Ross.

The Central Division winner wasn't too hard, but man was I hit hard on the others.

I got a NYR-MTL Eastern Conference Final and a DET-SJ Western Conference Final.

San Jose over Montreal in the Cup Finals. I've got a good feeling about the Sharks and its not gone away as the season has worn on. I also got Washington getting at least to the 2nd round.
