My yearly tradition of predicting the NHL playoff results is continuing, albeit in an abbreviated form this year. I didn’t follow the NHL very much this season, so I’m just going to make my predictions for each round without any explanation. Maybe next year, I’ll follow things a bit more closely and have a better idea of where teams stand.
