Yeah, i know, you all think i'm crazy for my predictions about Buffalo, Toronto, and the Isles but i'm willing to explain my reason for Buffalo and Toronto (and not the Isles cause i've explained too many times).

Basing it off of what I've seen this preseason from Buffalo, Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa.

I hate to say it but based on the way Buffalo has looked and played in the preseason, I'm gonna say they don't make playoffs, I could be wrong and I really hope I am for the sake of Sabres fans everywhere. I do see Eichel lighting it up tho.

Tampa wins the division hands down, Stamkos, Kucherov, Johnson, Point, Palat, Hedman, Vasilevski, ect. That is a scary team. Toronto is really good, it pains me to say it, but I gotta give props to Toronto.

Montreal is atrocious, they have been discraceful in the preseason and I believe they will get trampled. Marc Bergevin needs to be fired, they​ need to go into rebuild mode, but they won't because Montreal is too prideful of an organization to rebuild and that will be there downfall​. Oh, and the fact that the lost Beaulieu, Markov, Emelin, and Sergachev and replaced them with Alzner and Schlemko doesn't help too much either, and that Subban guy would be nice to still have.

Boston could make it, but ahead of Carolina, not the Rangers.
Nobody's given me a reason why the Islanders will miss the playoffs other than "they don't have a number 1 goalie". But Greiss got a .913 SV% last season and a .916 SV% in his career ... and even if he isn't a #1 goalie, how did they come so close this year?

This prediction is so funny!!!

No need to explain. It probably won't make much sense anyway.
