Now for the West as a follow up to my previous review of my standings predictions for the East
My predictions
Central, Note: I had 2-6 as interchangeable in the Central and man did that prove to be right
1. Colorado ( On point, their goaltending did better than I expected but Injuries really took a toll on this team, actual standings position: 1st)
2. Nashville ( Kind of off, their forward and defence did worse than I expected, Lankinen was much better, actual standings position: 5th)
3. Dallas ( Pretty on point, their forwards performed better than I expected, actual standings position: 2nd)
4 (WC1). Minnesota ( Pretty on point, MAF did worse than I expected but Gustavsson did better, actual standings position: 3rd)
5 (WC2). Saint-Louis ( Kind of off, I said their defence and goaltending would be the deciding factor... It was, they didn't perform as one thought they might, actual standings position: 6th)
6. Winnipeg ( Kind of off, their forward depth was better than I expected, their defence actually performed well, actual standings position: 4th, WC2 )
7. Chicago ( Fairly on point, I thought they would suck but they managed to suck even harder, actual standings position: 8th)
8. Arziona ( Fairly on point, their goaltending was worse than I expected but their forwards did much better, actual standings position: 7th)
Pacific
1. Calgary ( Off, their goaltending was horrible, their forwards underperformed, actual standings position: 5th)
2. Edmonton ( On point, Skinner did better than I expected and Campbell did worse, equals, out, actual standings position: 2nd)
3. Vegas ( Kind of off, their rotation Hill, Broissoit and Thompson did very well, actual standings position: 1st)
4. Los Angeles ( Fairly on point, their goaltending struggled more than I expected but their defence picked up the slack, actual standings position: 3rd)
5. Seattle ( Grubauer did not bounce back, their defence did a bit better than I expected, actual standings position: 4th WC1)
6. Vancouver ( On point, Demko had to try and carry the defence, the forwards were decent, actual standings position: 6th)
7. Anaheim ( Fairly on point, their defence was much worse than expected, their offensive depth wasn't as good, actual standings position: 8th)
8. San Jose ( On point, EK was much better than expected but the team struggled a lot, actual standings position: 7th)
I got 5/8 playoff teams ( LA, Seattle and Winnipeg made it, Calgary, Nashville, Saint Louis did not ), Calgary was really the only team I was really off on
