Playoff Prediction Project: Final Standings
12 years ago
In the wake of the Stanley Cup finals and the build-up to the NHL Entry Draft, I completely forgot to post the final standings for the Nation Network’s playoff prediction contest.
After the jump, the final results.

Reading the comments at Oilers Nation, it felt like many fans voted for Boston with their heart rather than because they expected them to win. Either way, it turned out well for them. The decision to support Boston also looked good on Lowetide, who entered the finals with a one point lead and finishes with a remarkable 14 out of 15 prediction record (and don’t think he won’t rub that it).
Thanks to everyone for participating!
