The 1998
KHW
Stanley Cup Playoffs
Preview
Right now I can't preview
much, seeing as there are still almost 3 weeks left in the
season. But here are my picks for the year end standings and
playoff seeds.
KHW Rating Is my rating of the
teams overall based on season performance, and whether they
are slumping or hot heading into the playoffs.
