Looking back on the season — my predictions

Hockey and Other Sports Comments Off

Before the season, I (as usual) predicted the season results for the western conference. this year I didn’t do the eastern due to lack of time. But how did I do?

My guaranteed playoff teams?

Sharks
Detroit
Calgary
Dallas
Anaheim

Sharks and Detroit? yes (duh). Calgary? Just missed winning the conference to Vancouver, finished 6th. Dallas? well, um, no. And Anaheim is in, but in 8th (and playing the Sharks).

Bubble Teams:

Minnesota
Edmonton
Nashville
Chicago
Columbus
Colorado
Vancouver

The good news is that three of my bubble teams made it in,t he bad news is none of the ones I picked for 6-7-8 did. In reality, I only picked four of the 8 western playoff teams. Not a good year for me. Nashville JUST missed, but that doesn’t count.

Picking St. Louis out of the playoffs. Ding. better luck next year, but who knew?

All in all? A so so year. Let’s see how I handle the playoffs.

Stuff to Read

Here are the most popular blog pages on this site over the last 90 days:

New laptop time revisited

Here are a few items I think you'll be interested in checking out while you visit:

Backups: I've talked a fair bit about backing up your data and why you should. Most people don't. Most people don't. Most people regret that some day. Don't be most people. To understand why or how, check out more than you wanted to know about backups, and even more. Then I decided to follow my own advice, and then I started running out of disk and had to solve the problem. Which is all really more than you want to know about backups -- but you need to know it, or you'll regret it.
Photography: There are three rules they tell photographers. I explain why those rules are wrong (at least some of the time).
Teachable Moments: I love teachable moments as a way to take mistakes and turn them into something postive. I just wish I didn't make them quite so teachable some days, as I did the day I convinced myself a ring-necked pheasant was really a blue grouse. Birders will understand...
Paying Forward: Here's where I make the case for paying forward instead of paying back.
Blogging: and because I know I'll need it, here are 50 reasons why I haven't been blogging. For when i stop blogging for a while.
Apple: And finally, an explanation of what I did for a living when I was working for Mama Apple.

Looking for Something?

Here are a couple of companies that I purchase from and can recommend to you.

In some places on this site I use links that take you to a page where you can buy a product I talk about. If you use that link and make a purchase, I'll earn a small commission and you'll earn my thanks for doing so. You don't pay more when you do this and I get a few dollars to help pay for this site's fees or to put away for that 800mm lens I'd love to buy. If you choose to use these affiliate links, thank you. If you would rather not, that's fine as well.
