A few things...
First of all, I'm never going to predict for the Habs to miss the playoffs in that contest.
Tied in with that, 95 points was the second lowest total out of anyone who predicted.
Thirdly, just on the second page of that thread, I posted my doubts about the team.
Finally, there were post after post where I stated that this was the first year in my life where I didn't feel as though we could contend for a cup. Making the playoffs was and still is achievable in my mind. I'm actually probably one of the rare people who believe that still. Winning the cup without any substantial additions, however, is a whole other story.
The reason I predicted what I did is because I've generally always been a positive fan and didn't want to regurgitate all this negativity but it was very simple in that I could not imagine how a team who had 8 million in cap space could fully expect to compete for a cup, when there were players somewhat available to us who could have increased our odds had they been on our team.
