kipwinger 8,754 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 Hopefully this will be something fun for a boring Monday morning. The Rules: You get THREE predictions for the whole league. They need to be BOLD but not fantastical (based on your discretion and subject to LGW scrutiny), and you can't use a paragraph and a half to explain each one. Keep it short, simple, and BOLD. Any shenanigans should be immediately called out by the LGW faithful I'll start. 1. Kessel scores less than 35 goals on Crosby's wing. 2. The Florida Panthers make the playoffs, the Canadiens don't. 3. Neither McDavid, nor Eichel, win the Calder Cup (but I don't know who does). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 Here's my predictions, all Red Wings related because... F*** other teams... 1. Pulkkinen leads the Red Wings in both power-play goals and total goals on the year. 2. Howard gets nominated and plays in the All-Star game and is in the Vezina conversation at the end of the season. 3. Zetterberg plays in 80 games and puts up 70+ points, which is good for second in team scoring. 3 nyqvististhefuture, TheXym and e_prime reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,754 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 Those are especially bold considering each guy has to not only play extremely well, but also remain healthy/get into the lineup on a regular basis. Well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Penguins, despite being the highest scoring team in the league, will miss the playoffs. I was actually going to say the same about the Pens, but I thought Montreal would be a bigger stretch and I only had three predictions. But I agree, they won't make it. Justin Faulk is a good one. He's got all the talent, but on that team? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings_Dynasty 267 Report post Posted October 5, 2015 1. Tatar will get a Gordie Howe Hat Trick this season. 2. Franzen will play 82 games this season. 3. We will make a huge splash at the trade deadline by aquiring a top line forward and a top line defenseman. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

These are the kinds of predictions I like. Risky, but not entirely out of the realm of possibility. That said, I don't agree with any of them lol. 1 Internet.Unknown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That said, I don't agree with any of them lol. You only asked for 3, but here is a 4th: Mantha will play at a 30 goals in 50 games pace for GR. When Franzen gets his next concussion (one that I hopes he decides to retire and not end up in a vegatative state) somewhere before he plays 40 games, Mantha is called up and scores 20+ goals for the RW's.
