kipwinger 8,457 Report post Posted October 16, 2016 Hmmm...lots of good ones here. And I'm reluctant to do any this year so as not to spoil my success from last year. But here goes. 1. The Colorado Avalanche lose in the Western Conference finals 2. Tortorella fired midseason, Blue Jackets BARELY miss the playoffs 3. Ovechkin FINALLY lifts the Cup, despite a down year in goal scoring. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DickieDunn 2,571 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 One more.Vanek is leading the team in goals at Christmas. Holland signs him to a 3 year $12 million extension. He scored 5 goals the rest of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 Ducks are off too a rough start eh? 7 goals in 4 games... Struggling offensively, sitting with 8 defensemen, and arguably their best still unsigned... Maybe they should trade one of their defensemen for a top 6 winger... 2 e_prime and TheXym reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 Was Boudreau coaching the Ducks at the start of last season? Either way... Carlyle is no Boudreau. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kickazz 5,459 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Yeah I was going to say, Ducks had a really bad start last year for almost like the first 10-15 games? I remember they we're bottom of the league then turned it around. I don't think they are as bothered about a bad start this year since they overcame it last year. But different coach so who knows. But yes, it would be nice if they traded someone... Edited October 19, 2016 by kickazz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Learn2LuvIt 245 Report post Posted October 19, 2016 1. Steve Ott is hands down most popular player on the Wings 2. Jimmy Howard is traded, and has a lot of "not so nice" things to say about Detroit 3.

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted October 20, 2016 Don't you pick on my boy Drew now. I know he's off to a slow start and everything, but he hasn't taken a puck to the face yet this year. He doesn't really pick-up stride until he takes one off the ol' noggin. 1 skerrydude reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some people wil still complain about losing them. Smith will be one of the Wings' best defensemen. This will not be a good thing. Austin Mathews will run away with the Calder and the Leafs will still suck. didn't even take that long for #1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
