Carolinas Identity*
I'm a bad troll...
Thought this might be fun for a discussion. Who do you think will make the playoffs last year, and who do you think they will knock out to do it?
I'm gonna be a homer and say:
A) - Carolina. As up and down as they were last year, they were in the hunt until literally the last week, and they've only gotten better. No big, splashy moves, but they brought in some nice pieces, have some nice prospects ready to make the jump, the youngins and rookies of last year are all another year older, and the team has had another year to get used to Coach Peters. I also feel like they have at least one move left in them before October.
And, B) - Detroit. I think this is finally the year the Wings crash out. They've been on a wee bit of a decline the past few seasons and barely squeaked in last year. I still think that they are a solid, well coached team with good players, but I feel like they will fall a few points short. Nothing lasts forever.
