Sport Predictions

Every sport that you watch, can report on who will make it and who will not make it to the big games at the end of the season. This year is different for the 2014-2015 NHL season. The prediction for my favorite team the New York Islanders was: The only reason to not think of the Islanders as a playoff team this year is because, well, they're the Islanders. They usually find a way to "Islanders" up situations. But this is a playoff-caliber roster. If everyone performs up their capabilities, a postseason berth should be the end result." That also includes the endorsement of Jack Capuano for coach of the year, which lacks a link as proof because no one else at B/R had him in his or her top five. And now that they are now in sole possession of first in their division. Here is a current take on the Islanders: The Islanders are a slam dunk for a playoff spot in the East. They are 10 points clear of ninth-place Florida, and just about every team below the Panthers is a stronger contender for a top-five draft pick than a top-eight spot in the standings. Capuano isn't a lock for the Jack Adams Award, with Jon Cooper of Tampa Bay and Peter Laviolette of Nashville among others in the mix, but Capuano has my vote.
