Right now the Buffalo versus West Kendall series is tied at 2 but I firmly believe that Buffalo can make it to the eastern conference finals this season maybe even further and get to the cup finals actually. They have a good mix of young talent(Hamilton,Lavelle,Marius,Bayley,Gross,McGregor,Mäkelä,Koening) and some seasoned veterans (Metzler,Tusk,Walker,Selich,Atmey,Vorkämpfer)to lead them. Most people thing that it is still too early for the Stampede but I think with some luck here and there it is definitely possible for the Stampede to advance to the finals. The goaltending will be one of the biggest factors against the Platoon since the Platoon has arguably better depth currently on offense. So it is in the hands of Jordin FourFour junior to have a good performance that will allow his teammates to do the job of winning the game.

Another bold prediction is that Hamilton will advance to the ECF by winning against the Chiefs in 7. I believe the Steelhawks didn't perform well in the regular season even though they have a really talented team. Another bold prediction of mine would be that an eastern conference team will win the Cup which kinda seems unlikely if you look at the dominance that the Jets and Panthers had this regular season.
