Keep the Giguere stuff coming, but since this is the FINAL Monday of the season, it is time to get the predictions going in full gear...seven days from now we will know...almost doesn't feel possible, does it? What a great year!

Here is how I see it all playing out....feel free to copy and paste the games and put your own together as well for us all to debate.

Current Standing...

(teams have played 79 games (except Islanders who have played 78)


6. NY RANGERS 41-29-9 (91)

7. TAMPA BAY 43-32-4 (90)

8. MONTREAL 41-32-6 (88)

9. TORONTO 38-30-11 (87)

10.CAROLINA 39-32-8 (86)

11.ISLANDERS 36-30-12 (84)


Following are my predictions for the games left...(note with every win or loss these future predictions can change, that is why it is unsafe to predict more than a day into the future....so this is for entertainment purposes only...please, no wagering.)
