Articles Yearbook's 2008-09 Cup Finals playoff predictions. Cup Predictions East Conference Semi-Finals 381) Halifax (Shawn) CTR #31 (Northeast) If the Yearbook calls this correct, Andrew would still have 3 players, Backstrom, Thornton and Boyle left while Halifax has made it through with Pavelski and Laich and just not enough to go any further putting Andrew in the Cup finals in Washington. Prediction: Washington (Andrew) CTR #12 in Cup Finals 342) Hartford (Andrew) CTR #17
(Atlantic) The Yearbook sees Dallas (Jr) making it through to the Semis with his Detroit Red Wings – Four Detroit Red Wings to be exact. Jr would have Franzen, Lidstrom, Kronwall and Cleary and although Andrew has two Bruins at this point, that just would never be enough. Ryder and Chara might be around come the finals, but this is the end of the line for Hartford. Prediction: Dallas (Jr) CTR #2 in Cup Finals West Conference Semi-Finals 378) San Diego (Glen) CTR #10 (Pacific) In a Semi-Final that would be a fun battle to watch, Glen in San Diego would be bringing Ovechkin and Setoguchi to face Ryan’s Thornton and Cheechoo. This would likely than come down to player games, but the Yearbook is giving the slight edge to Ovechkin in this battle and sending San Diego to the Cup finals out of the West. San Diego (Glen) CTR #10 in Cup Finals 347) Edmonton (Scott) CTR #28 (Northwest) GM Scott could never compete in this series with only Datsyuk facing a squad of Semin, Franzen and Clowe. The team that was ranked at the top all year long would now be in the Cup finals to prove they did belong. Las Vegas (Joel) CTR #1 in Cup Finals NHLP Cup Finals of Boston vs. San Jose in the NHL Finals 378) San Diego (Glen) CTR #10 (Pacific) With Setoguchi 343) Las Vegas (Joel) CTR #1 (Southwest) With Clowe 335) Dallas (Jr) CTR #2 (Gulf) With No One 330) Washington (Andrew) CTR #12 (Southeast) With Thornton and Boyle There’d be little doubt about the final above. Washington (Andrew) would be winning their second cup, Andrew’s 5th and the all-time Cup leader would again show why he is number one. He has a top team here with some good players built around solid top seeds. He is only a two point favorite in the first round against young rookie Matt and just like that, everything changes everywhere. The Yearbook is very accurate, but has never called 16 first round match-ups. Will your team be the team that changes everything? Just one change, anywhere, changes all the match-ups afterward and might mean it is your team, not Washington that wins the 2009 NHLP Championship! |
