Dr. Daps' Absurdly Early 2012 Season Predictions

While it is ridiculous to think that any prediction about the NHL season this year made now in July will come true, I need something to occupy my time. So I figured why not throw out my predictions just for laughs, and see if any of them come true. But please, for mine and your sake, do not take these seriously. This is just a speculation, and a boredom post.

Eastern Conference Predictions:

1: Washington Capitals
2: Boston Bruins
3: Pittsburgh Penguins
4: Tampa Bay Lightning
5: New York Rangers
6: Buffalo Sabres
7: Montreal Canadiens
8: Philadelphia Flyers

2012 NHL Stanley Cup Finals:

Game 2: Kings 2 - Caps 1 in OT
Game 3: Caps 5 - Kings 3
Game 4: Caps 2 - Kings 0
Game 5: Kings 3 - Caps 1
Game 6: Kings 4 - Caps 3

Kings win Stanley Cup in six games.


Conn Smythe Trophy Winner: Anze Kopitar

Well, there you have it, the Kings are finally going to win their first Stanley Cup next year over the Washington Capitals. Again, don't hold me hostage if this doesn't come true. It's a long season, and if I manage to get at least one of these match-ups right, Ill be happy.
