Every year, I write two annual prediction columns. In one, I try to predict where each team in the league will finish where, and which ones are legitimate Cup contenders.
That column ran last week, and I don’t like it.
Not this year’s version in particular. I just don’t like making those basic meat-and-potato type of calls, because the risk/reward just doesn’t work for me. If I’m right, big deal – oh wow, you had Edmonton as Cup contenders, way to go out on a limb. And of course, if I’m wrong about anyone (which I will be), I have to hear about it from the fan base all year long.
