STANLEY CUP PREDICTION: Anaheim Ducks over the Washington Capitals
I think the Ducks are one of best teams in the league on paper, but I reluctantly chose them to win it all because I fear Bruce Boudreau’s decision making at crucial times. However, I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt, because the Ducks improved their roster in the offseason, and that’s after coming close to making the final last season. Their goaltending does concern me a little, and their defence corp is young, but I like the make-up of their team, and I think the overall depth will overcome any deficiencies.
It’s about time that Alex Ovechkin’s Capitals made it to the Stanley Cup Final. The additions of T.J Oshie and Justin Williams were huge in my opinion, and I believe that Braden Holtby is one of the better goalies in the league. The Caps have so much talent from top to bottom, and they added even more depth, so I just don’t see any other team in the East being able to beat them. I also give them the coaching edge in the Final, but I think the Ducks will end up proving to be just a little stronger.

My random thoughts on the upcoming season:
*disclaimer* These predictions might make me look like a genius, or they could be very wrong. Either way you’ll probably disagree with some of them.
Jack Eichel is going to have a better rookie season than Connor McDavid, but neither the Sabres nor the Oilers will make the playoffs.
The Ottawa Senators were running on hamburgers late last season; they’re going to take a step back this year and fall out of the postseason picture.
Ryan Miller isn’t a good goalie. The Canucks are going to soon regret giving up on Eddie Lack.
Sidney Crosby and Phil Kessel will have a great season together, but the Penguins as a team will not.
Steven Stamkos may get traded mid-season if the Lightning regress, which I suspect they might.
The Sharks, Bruins and Flyers will miss the playoffs again. The Kings will be back in.
Carey Price won’t be able to live up to the expectations he set last year, and the Habs will be a middle of the road team.
Everyone will hate the Blackhawks because of Patrick Kane, but the team will still be good, making people hate them even more.
