Joensuu forgets its regular season

 

[Joey Moss]

I'm thinking Yak or Teddy.. went with Yak.

 

[backhandsauce]

Eberle always seems to score vs the Flames. I'll go with Ebs.

 

[McPuritania]

Pou-Pou is a good choice, and I think that's who it'll be, but I'm going with Draisaitl because I really want it to be him.

 

[Shredator]

Benoit Pouliot

A few years ago I guessed Eberle and he did it.
Lets go Ben

Funny that Gazdic got it last year. Probably the least likley candidate (well there was also Acton, Arcobello, Smid, Brown, Nultz and Hamilton in the press box that were almost as unlikely). Interestingly, I don't think there is a player starting tonight that I don't think at least has a chance to score. Some are less likely than others, but this comparison does make me feel a bit better about the quality of our opening night lineup vs. last year. We'll moan about Hunt, but I think we all agree there's at least a chance he might score. He just might end up -3 while doing so.

 

[Seedling]

Brad Hunt, just because of the love.

 

[McPuritania]

I could see Hunt fluke his way into the first goal tonight, to have the HF experts scream "See! See! You idiots were mad about NOTHING!." Only for him to not do a damn thing else for as long as he's with the team.

i wussed out and picked hall.

 

[McAsuno]

Naaaaeeeeeeoooo Yakupov

 

[EchoesoftheEighties]

Last year it was Gazdic. And I think it was Brule in 2011?

Gonna go with Yak he needs it.

 

[Del Preston]

Yakupov scores on his first shift and then is demoted to the fourth line.

 

[Lrrr]

Last year I guessed Gazdic and I was right. Let's make it a streak, Perron.

 

[McPuritania]

Yakupov scores on his first shift and then is demoted to the fourth line.

Yak responds by telling the media he doesn't want to be on the fourth line. The main boards hold that over Yak's head as a negative for the rest of his life.

"He's an enigmatic, lazy, Russian bust and a KHL threat. NO THANKS"

 

[Oilception]

Voted Draisaitl

But I'll be happy as long as its not Hunt, I've been complaining to much about him for him to score
