My crystal ball predictions

In Buffalo = lose in OT. 1 point
In Toronto = loss in regulation, 0 points
Home opener vs. Boston = win 2 points
Vs. Capitals = loss in reg. = 0 points
Vs. Coyotes = win 2 points
Vs. Dallas = win in OT 2 points
Vs. Minny = win in shoutout 2 points
In Miami = win 2 points
In Tampa = loss in regulation 0 points
Vs. Vegas = loss in OT 1 point

12 points in the the first ten games.

They know how important a good start is and I worry they're going to feel pressure in the beginning. I really think once they get going in the second and third month, they'll start to roll. But the first month might be bumpy.

We’re going to find out a lot about this team in those first 10 games. We’re playing some of the best teams in the league and at least one of the worst. I think we’ll have a pretty good idea of how the year is going to go after this opening 10 game stretch.

5 - 3 - 2 = 12 pts

 

[L'Aveuglette]

I'm also in the 5-5 camp, but it's very hard to predict considering we played the Habs 4 times in a row as the roster was cemented, with most of the top guys sitting the last game out.

 

[SensFactor]

Get Chychrun and we go 10-0

 

[Union2017]

Get Chychrun and we go 10-0

He is injured so I doubt

As the dreamy summer of Pierre on paper gives way to the cold reality of autumn on the ice, it looks like a tough schedule to start. And we have some rookies in key roles, and new lines and identities to form. Its the kind of situation where i would expect we would likely get off to a slow start and hopefully pick up the pace over the year. Our collective PTSD over slow starts aside, i could see and accept this. 4-5-1.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

8-1-1

Edit: I’m an optimist, but it feels good not to have blond optimism for a change!
