Please rank the following events from most likely to least likely to happen this year:
A. Sharks win the Pacific.
B. Kings win the Pacific.
C. Ducks win the Pacific.
D. Sharks win the Cup.
E. Kings win the Cup.
F. Ducks win the Cup.
G. New Jersey Devils win the Cup.
H. Drew Doughty holds out all year long.
I. Jonas Hiller's vertigo comes back.
J. Martin Havlat gets injured and misses a substantial amount of time.
K. Megalodon wins the lottery but is killed in a lightning strike on his way to collect his winnings.
(The Devils are included because I have money riding on the Devils not winning the Cup).
I would personally rank the events thusly:
A, B, C, J, I, D, E, H, F, G, K

People bet money on the Devils winning the Cup?
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
The payout is incredibly high, seeing as every MSM outlet is still assuming John MacLean’s still coaching them and have them pegged as 31st in the league

It’s only like, 25:1 on most betting places.

But it doesn’t matter because Sather guaranteed the Rangers will win

I bet my co-worker, who knows nothing about hockey. If the Devils win I pay him $30. If they don’t win I get a dollar.

Yeah I had my rankings screwed up – I actually think that one is a strong possibility.
Owen Nolan saw my cat.
Battle of California
A. Sharks win the Pacific.
B. Kings win the Pacific.
I. Jonas Hiller’s vertigo comes back.
J. Martin Havlat gets injured and misses a substantial amount of time.
D. Sharks win the Cup.
H. Drew Doughty holds out all year long.
E. Kings win the Cup.
C. Ducks win the Pacific.
G. New Jersey Devils win the Cup.
F. Ducks win the Cup.
K. Megalodon wins the lottery but is killed in a lightning strike on his way to collect his winnings.
And the Ducks winning the Cup is more likely than lightning striking a lottery winner!

The rest of these things have no chance whatsoever of happening:
D. Sharks win the Cup.
G. New Jersey Devils win the Cup.
C. Ducks win the Pacific.
F. Ducks win the Cup.
well maybe this one does:
K. Megalodon wins the lottery but is killed in a lightning strike on his way to collect his winnings.

C. Ducks win the Pacific.
F. Ducks win the Cup.

Yeah I don’t think it’s likely that the Ducks will win the Pacific, of course, but I would never say it’s not going to happen in a million years. Pretty much any team from the Pacific could have won the division last year.

or other predictions in the comments.
I predict:
-Mr Plank will have to stop another mass commentor suicide on FTF when the sharks lose 2 in a row
-Carlye will take the ducks bowling after a losing streak and the ducks will still lose the next game
-Doug Murray wins a beauty contest
-Dan Ellis gets caught employing illegals

mass commentor suicide
If we just let those who want to take their lives whenever something bad happens do so it would vastly improve the quality of comments throughout the Internet.

Ha, like you guys would ever fall for that. That’s as crazy as saying Anti Niemi is a better goaltender than Jonathan Quick!
[dons Fez, picks up cymbals]
OMG, no way. Niemi made the stops he had to in that series, and proved he can perform in pressure situations during his Cup run (I mean, has Quick even won a series ever?), and Quick is a decent goalie but needs to prove himself but can’t….
Wait. What have I done? NOOOOOO!

Here is a slightly modified list:

2. Sharks make it to the Cup Finals
3. Sharks find a way to blow it
4. Ryan Getzlaf becomes a patient at Bosley Hair Restoration
5. Kings win the division
6. Kings go nowhere in the playoffs
7. Corey Perry is arrested in a West Hollywood male prostitution sting
8. Ducks win the division
9. Sharks win the cup
10. Meg is hit by lightning

Wingels moves to Sharks' 3rd Line!
Todd McLellan is moving Tommy Wingels to the third line, presumably with Mitchell and Handzus.
