not everyone makes posts in the off season predicting Pt totals but as I look back at the sabres one I did, I got a helll of a lot wrong, lol.
So this can be even if you said out loud to one person or even people you didn’t talk about but in your mind predicted would
Get so and so.
Players I was wrong about
Who did better
MAX DOMI (by a good forty points)
Draisaitl (by a good thirty five points)
monahan (by about 20)
Aho (about 15-20)
ROR (by about 15 pts)
Barkov (by a little)
Giordano and Reilly (20ish)
Lindholm (about 25)
Some sabres below
I was wrong about Who did worse
Jordan Staal (but he was injured I said he’d have double the Pts as first line center but that didn’t end up being the case)
Mallkin (did a lot worse)
Kopitar did a lot worse as did Tarasenko even if both guys sort of ended strong
Some buffalo below (mostly depth guys)
I didn’t Ssy a lot of them would fail as much as I may of wrote once or twice that I thought they’d get x amount and was wrong as they did better.
Some guys did I was right about:
For my team I’ll list below but for league wide
Tavares and marner both got about five to ten more Pts each then I said they would, i was expecting big things and they delivered so I’d say that’s close to a win there.
I felt I was going out on a limb with Matthew Tkachuk predicting over 70 pts and I said barzal at 65 dropping by twenty I felt with how different these totals were with my predictions they are Both wins, I said mcdavid would get 120 and had he payed those extra few that looks to be exactly the case.
As for my team Interestingly enough I got dahlin almost exactly right and Eichel PPG was almost exactly right. But oh my did I miss on everyone in the ror deal, Mittelstadt (though I like how he ended the season and has potential) and a few others.
I also said skinner should score around 40 assuming he’s healthy and with Eichel all year (which he was for about 70 or so games) I got the tots goal number my team would score way off too as a result.
I said 86 pts for jack over 82 games and he got 82 in 77 so that’s pretty darn exact? And I said dahlin would get 8 goals and 38 assists for 46 pts, he got 9 goals and 35 assists. I can provide the link to this thread for those wondering, I’m just on my cell and doing that is a pain or I would. You can find it in my archive made thread in late September asking people to predict their team totals.
As for teams: just ones Who stand out as right on a limb or wrong on a limb not pointing out obvious things like oh the caps and bolts made the playoffs see! I predicted that who cares everyone doeszzzz
I ate crow on isles and canes, and I guess Colorado cause they made it, even though there demise is the second half was exactly the kind of thing i predicted it’s just they made the show. So can’t say I was right to be fair. Montreal I had finishing 7th so they definitely did better then I thought. I was wrong about the oilers I predicted them to make the playoffs. I was also wrong about the panthers as I said they’d get a wildcard like a lot of people did too.
I was right about both New Jersey and Minnesota falling out. I said one of the kings or ducks would miss I just wasn’t sure which one and both did so partially right there. I
I was also right in Calgary making it just didn’t see them winning the west.
Not all of you have to do a reply in my scattered, lengthy style, you can choose to do both or you can just stick to players or teams whatever you choose depending on your desire to write or how much time you have. It’s just fun to look back on the year now that it’s over and this is what makes pre season predictions fun.
Despite my rights and wrongs I finished second out of 25 people In one pool and 14th out of 559 in another so that was greAt for me.
