Prediction Wednesday: Jer’s 2009-10 Team Ranking Predictions

With one day to go before the 2009-10 season kicks off, it’s time for hockey blogs and fans alike to spit out a flurry of predictions in hopes of being vindicated come the hoisting of Lord Stanley’s Mug come June. We here at HockeyPunx want in on the action too.

But I won’t lie to you, reader, what I’m about to drop on you isn’t merely prediction, but instead the pure, unvarnished truth; from God’s lips to my ears (to your eyes). After reading this, if you don’t immediately start placing bets in Vegas and off-shore gambling rings, you’re a god damn fool.

Without further ado, here is how all the teams will be ranking in their respective conference come season end. Fact.

Western Conference

  1. Sharks
  2. Blackhawks
  3. Canucks
  4. Red Wings
  5. Ducks
  6. Stars
  7. Flames
  8. Oilers
  9. Blue Jackets
  10. Wild
  11. Blues
  12. Kings
  13. Predators
  14. Avalanche
  15. Coyotes
Eastern Conference

  1. Capitals
  2. Bruins
  3. Flyers
  4. Devils
  5. Penguins
  6. Canadiens
  7. Hurricanes
  8. Maple Leafs
  9. Rangers
  10. Panthers
  11. Senators
  12. Sabres
  13. Islanders
  14. Lightening
  15. Thrashers

I will not even attempt to justify my rankings, as the stat sheet at the end of the season never tries to justify itself. The stat sheet simply acts as a reflection of the facts, and my “predictions” are exactly that.

Note: If any of you decide to take this seriously and think I know any more than the next guy when it comes to telling what the future holds, then you’re a stupid shitbag and shouldn’t be reading this to begin with. You should be in your bedroom coloring.
