CBJ: Due to injuries and suspensions CBJ come out slow but for once finish hard, the margin between the 5th - 8th seed is razor thin with only 5 pts separating the 8th seed CBJ from the 5th seed Chicago.
In the Playoffs the CBJ show progress grit and determination by not winning one , but 2 games in the, however they eventually succumb to 1st place Ducks in 6 in a very hard fought series that shows promise for the future.

Team MVP:Carter
Surprise CBJ player of the year: Mason
Disappointment: Methot

Finals: Sharks over Flyers in 7.
