I predicted 10 teams exactly right, or +/- 1
Teams I missed on:
Ontario Coyotes - Sure they dropped from my preseason rank of #3 down to #8, but they still made the playoffs... and they beat Puvirnituq, so I was right to fear them.
Bloodweiser Bugle All Stars - I had them as a playoff team, but that run game and stifling defense got them a home playoff game.
Paradise Cheeseburgers - I knew this team was tough to predict, and they complained when I put them at #10 about how upset they would be if that really happened. Well, it was worse than any of us could have predicted.
Renegade Nation - I think I just really wanted this team to do better than they did. Sad to see them demote next season, but I have faith they'll be back.
Village Dogs - Buzz's girlfriend? WOOF!
