NHL Furious Playoff Preview 2008 – Eastern Conference Breakdown
This is embarrassing, but when I projected how the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs would pan out, I actually had the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins on the outside looking in. Boy, do I look dumb.

It was also impossible to predict the emergence of the Kostitsyn brothers, as well as the emergence of Alexei Kovalev as a Hart Trophy candidate (futures to come up on that later).
