By the end of last season, there were some big surprises in the final standings.
Who would have predicted that Phoenix would have finished third overall for points, challenging San Jose for the Pacific Division title?
We all thought Edmonton would be bad, but did anyone expect them to be that bad? (At least they got Taylor Hall out of it)
Looking ahead to the upcoming 2010-2011 season, I'm predicting that there will be more upsets in the standings, and some suprising teams on the outside looking in once the playoffs start.
