Here you can pretty much put your crazy 2017-18 prediction that came true and your crazy 2017-18 prediction that did not come true.
For me:
Came true: I thought Ovi would have a really good season and he'd score a top of goals
Didn't come true: I had Arizona in the playoffs squinty smile

I was saying i thought he'd be getting at least 85 points ... a lot of people said he'd get about 70.

I said neither New York team would make the post season. Also that if Montreal played drouin at centre they'd be in lottery contention. Not overly bold I guys but.....

I did say Carolina would make the post season though.

About Carolina, not a terrible prediction, they're not too far out now, but it's too late at this point. I think they'll fall off a bit more too, especially with Pesce and Ask out for the year.

What about one you got wrong?
Also, i'm gonna bring back the old rival here and say that as much as the Penguins could win a 3rd straight cup, i think there are better teams, like Tampa.

Everyone who thought Colorado would be contending for a playoff spot raise your hand.

Now put your hands down, you bunch of liars.

I thought Boston and Vegas would have missed the playoffs and Ottawa and Montreal would have made the playoffs.

I wouldn't say "predictions". Here were a couple of my opinions from back in August/September.

Came true: Vegas was going to make the playoffs, Blackhawks would miss the playoffs.

Didn't come true: Alex DeBrincat wouldn't make the Hawks roster, Brandon Saad would have a monster season.

Predict I got right
Oilers would miss the playoffs ( I didn’t expect them to be this terrible though)

Prediction got wrong
Boston would be near the bottoms of the Atlantic and be old and slow

Lol, i had NYI making the playoffs ... now Edmonton is ahead of them.
This was actually one of my worst prediction years.

For 2016-17 i had: NYI missing the playoffs, Toronto coming close-ish to the playoffs (didn't think they'd make it though), MTL making the playoffs, CBJ making the playoffs (not coming 4th in the league though), i think i had Dallas missing but i'm not sure, and i had Florida falling out of the playoffs. Pretty good.
For 2017-18 i had: Vegas coming last, Florida coming 2nd last, New Jersey coming 3rd last, Arizona and NYI making the playoffs, LAK making the playoffs (which they still could), ANA missing the playoffs (which they still could) (but at this point i think i was wrong about both), SJS coming 1st in the regular season, and PHI finishing 24th-25th or so in the league. Pretty bad.
