And now looking at those emoticons, why are the happy faces more detailed than the 2-color frown face?

Now back on track. What do you guys see us doing?

If you are too lazy to make your own table, here's a template (just change where it says RESULT):

I don't usually do game-by-game predictions in these threads.

I'm going to say 3-2-2.

 

[Kakko]

Slow start

5-1-1

boom

 

[The Lunatic Fridge]

Why are people such debbie downers when it comes to PIT? If we can manhandle philly and philly man handles PIT, Surely we are more than capable of laying a smackdown on Cindy especially with Nash.

 

[Boruto]

**** it. 7-0

It doesn't work that way. See last year's regular season. It's all about matchups.

I'll go 4-3. Hard schedule and chemistry is the reason for it.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

4-1-2

 

[Czech Trio]

good lcuk

 

[SnowblindNYR]

good lcuk

Nice try.

 

[Kershaw]

Would be content with 4 wins. Expect us to start off slowly though like last year.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

Would be content with 4 wins. Expect us to start off slowly though like last year.

I don't know, I think these guys are just too pumped up and talented to struggle out of the gate like last year. I think Lundqvist, Nash, Richards, and Gabby are gonna come flying out of the gate.

 

[Czech Trio]

Nice try.

thank yuo, again good lukc.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Most of the best teams last year started off slowly in the first 10 games or so. NYR, Boston, St. Louis, Vancouver, and Detroit (started off fast but ended up about .500 after 10 or so games) all started off slowly.

 

[GregSirico]

5-2 or better is a score. I say 4-3 is bottom line we should accept.

 

[NYRSchrute217]

5-2-0

 

[iamitter]

6-0-1
Gaborik with a strong start.

Our PP hovers around 20%, but our PK only around 83%.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Wow 6 of the 7 teams are good. It could go either way.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I just really hope we take 4 of the games.

 

[Boruto]

It comes down to 2 things. Henrik and chemistry. Everyone is in the same boat on everything else. If Henrik is good, we win 4-5 min. If chemistry is good, we win 4-5 minimum. If both are good, we can take 6 or even 7.

 

[Net Front Presence]

4-3. Losses to Pitt, Philly, and Boston once.
