Tried looking back at people's predictions, couldn't find much in terms of a thread consisting of predictions only, however there were a few scattered in other threads, including a couple of laughable "Leafs to the Finals" predictions, not to mention a few hillarious trade rumours/suggestions.
So, now that it's Carolina/Edmonton in the NHL and Miami/Dallas in the NBA, be honest, how did you see it unfolding?
I thought we'd see an all-Canadian Cup Ottawa vs. Calgary but I underestimated the Sen's propensity to choke. Calgary ran into a hot goalie.
I correctly predicted the Leafs would fail to make the playoffs.
I NEVER saw Carolina coming, nor Buffalo, nor New York Rangers.
I thought Pittsburgh, Florida and the Isles would make it.
By the way, someone posted Vegas odds from August which had the Oilers at 25-1 and the Hurricanes at 100-1!
In the NBA:
I thought we'd see a repeat of the Spurs versus Pistons, and never gave the Raps a chance of qualifying for the post season.
I thought Miami's adding guys like Payton, Walker and J. Williams would be a disaster. I expected much more from the Pacers and Nuggets.
