This week's Facing Off with Dan Mount revisits the year that was in 2016 and predicts what could be in store for the year to come in 2017. We debate the top headlines from 2016, as well as the most improbable, inspirational and impactful stories. We recollect on that wild day in June (Subban-Weber/Hall-Larsson) and what's become of those trades in the present. We also look ahead to the future stories that will be topping the headlines this year before making three bold predictions for 2017.

Did these get better? I almost got an aneurysm from the eye rolling when I looked at it a year ago.
Episode 7 of the Facing Off Podcast with Andrew Forbes reflects on the World Junior Championship and debates the gold-medal game being decided by a shootout, while discussing the standouts for Canada and the United States as well as the tournament award winners. We also weigh in on the Toronto Maple Leafs' playoff chances, the Columbus Blue Jackets' winning streak and the Colorado Avalanche's ongoing struggles.

I follow the KHL from afar, but I'm far from an expert on that league. I'm not even sure topics we could/would/should be tackling. Always open to suggestions, but we might be limited in our knowledge. Our "expertise" tends to be on NHL, AHL and junior hockey.
This week's Facing Off with Sebastian Hedley-Noble debates all things All-Star Game, including roster snubs and surprises, who will win the tournament and certain events at the skills competition, plus whether every team should be represented. We also debate how to fix the Colorado Avalanche and what moves we'd make in Joe Sakic's shoes. Last but not least, we provide our midseason playoff picks: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-all-stars-avalanche-and-all-kinds-of-predictions/
Episode 8 of the Facing Off Podcast with Félix Sicard focuses on the upcoming NHL trade deadline, debating all the potential buyers and sellers, the players expected to move and where we see them landing. If you like trade talk, this is the show for you: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-podcast-previewing-the-nhl-trade-deadline/
This week's Facing Off with Dan Mount debates Montreal's coaching change, whether the Canadiens will be the biggest buyers at the NHL trade deadline, and what surprises could be in store: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-can-julien-revive-canadiens-will-montreal-be-biggest-buyer/
Episode 9 of the Facing Off Podcast with Félix Sicard debates all the winners and losers from the NHL trade deadline, the best deals and the worst, the biggest bargains and overpayments, the moves that made us go ‘wow’ and those that made us go ‘WTF’, while also discussing our frontrunners for GM of the Year and declaring our Stanley Cup favourites going forward: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-podcast-recapping-the-nhl-trade-deadline/
This week's Facing Off with Andrew Forbes debates trade-deadline acquisitions — who will have the biggest impact on their new team and who will be the biggest disappointment — while also weighing in on whether the NHL has "false parity" because of all the loser points and whether the current playoff format is working. We also looked at the playoff bubble teams and who could be live underdogs in both conferences. Lastly, we gave our two cents on Josh Ho-Sang wearing the No. 66: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-false-parity-live-underdogs/
This week's Facing Off features several guest contributors debating a few topics about the Vegas Golden Knights — who could be their top-line forwards, who are the top coaching candidates, and which prospects could they be targeting for the entry draft — plus this season's most surprising players and what the future holds for the Colorado Avalanche: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-getting-golden-knights-back-in-the-spotlight/
This week's Facing Off with Dan Mount debates Brad Marchand's rise to stardom and whether he'll win any NHL awards this year — be it the Hart, Art Ross or Rocket Richard trophies? We also discussed Matt Murray being eligible for the Calder, whether Brent Burns is still a lock for the Norris, and who our frontrunners are for the Vezina and Jack Adams trophies: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-marchand-in-mix-for-major-awards/
Connor McDavid is one win away from leading the Edmonton Oilers to the Stanley Cup playoffs in his first season as captain and his first full campaign in the NHL. This week's Facing Off debates potential matchups and post-season expectations, while also reflecting on the trade deadline and weighing in on Cam Talbot's workload: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-oilers-roundtable-talking-playoffs-yes-playoffs/
More Facing Off and more Oilers!

Episode 10 of the Facing Off Podcast features Felix Sicard and Andrew Forbes previewing the NHL playoffs. We predict the first-round winners and Stanley Cup champion, while also debating how far the five Canadian teams will go and which matchups have the most upset potential: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-podcast-nhl-playoff-preview-and-predictions/
This week's Facing Off features my hot takes on the Edmonton-San Jose series thus far, followed by part three of our Oilers Roundtable with Shane Sander and Jim Parsons debating the team's prospects and plans for this year's entry draft: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-oilers-roundtable-talking-entry-draft-prospects/
This week's Facing Off with Dan Mount recaps the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs and previews the second round — complete with our predictions. We also debate Nashville's dominance of Chicago and how far the Predators could go, plus the biggest surprises from the opening round. We then shift our focus to Buffalo and who the Sabres should hire as their new coach and GM, and whether Jack Eichel should be part of that selection committee. Lastly, we weigh in on the other coaching vacancies in Vancouver and Florida as well as the recent hires in Dallas, Vegas and Los Angeles: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-sweeps-sweeping-changes-and-second-round-predictions/
This week's Facing Off with Sebastian Hedley-Noble debates the draft lottery results — the biggest winners and losers — and how the draft could play out now that the order has been decided. We project the top three picks and who Colorado could be eyeing as a consolation prize. We also weigh in on the second round of the NHL playoffs and who we see as Stanley Cup favourites going forward: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-debating-draft-lottery-results-stanley-cup-favourites/
Today's Facing Off asks: Did Mike Sullivan and the Pittsburgh Penguins make the right decision in switching from Marc-Andre Fleury to Matt Murray in goal for Game 4? http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-murray-over-fleury-a-mistake/
Now that the Oilers' season is over, there is plenty to look forward to in the offseason, including the expansion draft and free agency. This roundtable edition of Facing Off with Shane Sander, Rob Soria, Jim Parsons and myself takes a closer look at some of the difficult decisions to come for Peter Chiarelli: http://thehockeywriters.com/facing-off-oilers-roundtable-talking-expansion-draft-offseason/

Believe it or not, Iapyi, you're not the first person to ask me that. Yes, I get it a lot. Maybe one day I'll show up higher in the Google searches than the murderer.
As for more Leafs talk, Rick74, feel free to DM me some topics you'd like us to debate and we'll work them in. Facing Off is in the process of changing formats, moving to individual topics instead of five at a time and tackling the hot topics as they happen. So if you have Leafs topics of interest, fire them my way via DM.
