No one has the Nucks making the playoffs this year, so it will take a Hurricane type year for them to make it to the dance. Too many things will need to go right for them to make it and there are way too many unknowns. Plus it will only a take a few things to go wrong for them to crash out again (injury to key players for one). It would be awesome for them and the young core to experience it but most likely not this year.
