2022 NHL Fearless Playoff Predictions Final Results
We’re Talkin’ Avs!
Five years after being the worst team in the National Hockey League, the Colorado Avalanche are now the best hockey team in the league. On the planet. In existence.
With their third Stanley Cup championship in franchise history and the first in 21 years, the Avalanche were impressive this spring and summer.
As were the Tampa Bay Lightning, who ended up winning 11 playoff series in-a-row, and just came up short in their bid for a third straight Stanley Cup.
Also impressive is our NHL Fearless Playoff Predictions Pool Winner…Ladies and Gentlemen…Steve Kouleas!
He went a stunning 14-for-15 in series picks, and recorded 30 points overall, to edge Jonathan Davis, and Scott Laughlin. Honourable mention to Dave McCarthy, who went 13-for-15.
