Come on over and ima show you how ludicrous y'all sound brah.

Seriously. Spellcheck or a dictionary. Take your pick, but a rapper turned actor has nothing to do with hockey discussion unless you think he's going to be lacing up next season to bring Ottawa back to greatness next season.

Bold prediction ludicrous scores 100 points makes ek stay gives melnyk a part of his liver then requests a trade because mean gene won't pay him royalties for using one of his songs as the goal song

 

[djdev]

why people choose to debate "bold predictions" is beyond me. just let people predict what they want lol

 

[Bizz]

Vegas won't have the Refs in their back pocket and will miss the playoffs this season.

edit: I just saw that this is a "bold" predictions thread. It isn't so bold when this is an expected outcome.

 

[sabremike]

A goalie scores a goal this season.

I'll double down on this: a goalie will score a hat trick this season.

 

[Allan92]

Bold prediction:

Eichel places top 3 in the art ross race and top 5 in the hart discussion after dragging the sabres to the playoffs (and a subsequent first round defeat)


Longshot but not especially unlikely:

The Panarin fuss lights a fire under the blue jackets and they compete for the presidents trophy while also winning at least one playoff round

More likely than unlikely:

Crosby comes to really play and wins the art ross for the final time in his career (but the pens lose the ECF)

Just noticed these are all eastern conference predictions so just for the sake of tossing one out there for the west..... Toews finally returns to top form and wins the selke

 

[Ovechclutch]

Caps and Pens meet again...but this time in the ECF

 

[Lunatik]

A goalie scores a goal this season.

You would have to think Mike Smith would be the most likely option, him scoring was my bold prediction last year.

If this happens it will be the third year in a row that the team who finished dead last went on to make the playoffs, only to be eliminated in Round 1. When Toronto and Colorado did it, they also played that years Presidents Trophy winner and lost in 6 games each. So while I don't have the Sabres making it, if they DID that means going with the pattern they would play pres trophy winners taking them to six. And there are 3 teams in the Atlantic Buffalo could play who all could win that trophy, and even a few in the atlantic.

That's a pretty cool stat if it happens, good catch

My next Bold prediction.
Grammer police go on strike and no one ever has to be arsed to read another post like this ever again.

 

[Bounces R Way]

There emerges an advanced stat so advanced it totally smashes the foundations of conventional hockey wisdom.

 

[OVO16]

To reverse jinx your post

Jets then somewhat able to pick in 2019 draft

Jack Hughes
Kappo Kakko
Bowen Byram

By being able to trade Trouba and Wheeler during that season. (They locked in Laine,Connor and Morrissey).
Jets were able to get the 1st the 2nd and the 3rd pick of 2019 draft.

Wins 4 cups in the next 7 years starting in 2020

Good luck man

* Brad Marchand won't be suspended or fined during the season.

* Two Central teams will meet at WCF.

 

[b in vancouver]

Bergeron wins the Hart (and Selke though that's a given) Kopitar comes second place in both. Getzlaf is the other nominee.
Marchand wins the Art Ross, just ahead of McDavid and Johnny Hockey - whom drags his team into the playoffs.

Helleybuck wins the Vezina.

Philadelphia plays Boston in the conference finals and everyone is confused by how clean and penalty free the series is.

Blake Wheeler has the best season of an American born player and is briefly mentioned one time.

Montreal gets a wild card spot with both Weber and Price being nominees for Norris and Vezina.

Quebec City gets the go ahead. (I know - just way too far fetched)

Tampa Bay struggles and comes in third in the Atlantic, barely edging out Montreal.

The Ducks win their division.

 

[psully31]

St Louis wins 50+ games. Wins the president trophy.

Tarasenko wins the Ross.
Peitrangelo wins the Norris.
O'reilly is a ppg player.


Blues lose in the first round to the Canucks

This is the Bold Predictions thread. Not expected outcomes.

 

[Leafslet]

make your 18-19' predictions that you have a hunch will happen. that one thing no one else is saying, but you have a gut feeling about.



I'll go first: Philly will win the metropolitan division.

 

[Big Cactus]

Boston doesn’t make the playoffs

Pls don’t hate me Bruins fans

 

[Master P]

Goalies continue to get better no matter how many times the NHL shrinks their equipment.

 

[Weast]

Blues win the cup. Pittsburg out round 1. Conn smyth awarded to losing teams goalie (Bobrovsky). Hart won by a defenceman.

 

[BrendanGallagher11]

Habs win one of the wild cards

Price vezina nominee

Pastrnak breaks 40 goals

Eichel breaks 85 pts

 

[McShogun99]

Yakupov makes his NHL return 10 games into the season and wins the Rocket.

Karlsson signs an 8 year extension to stay in Ottawa.

Karlsson signs an 8 year extension to stay in Ottawa.

The latter is fairly plausible
I strongly doubt you have a "gut feeling" that Yakupov is winning the Rocket though

 

[Leafslet]

Karlsson signs an 8 year extension to stay in Ottawa.

i don't think you understand the topic theme.

 

[Tofveve]

Flames players get better at Fortnite.
