Post your embarassingly early hot takes based on the first games

[La Masse]

The Leafs will have trouble making the playoffs and arent impressing anyone and get ouplayed too often

 

[Jerzey Devil]

It’s revealed that Gritty is the bastard lovechild of the Hamburgler and the orange Fry Guy.

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

New Jersey don't only miss the playoffs but finish in the bottom five.

 

[983 others]

Jack Eichel is the most overrated and overhyped player in the game and he’s at least two tiers below Matthews.

Just unimpressive, have fun with that contract.

 

[JT Kreider]

Matthews is ions better than Eichel. It is a blowout.

 

[Reality Check]

The Pittsburgh Steelers aren't the only team in town that has an awful defense.

 

[canuckslover10]

Canucks are gonna make the playoffs

 

[Anomie2029]

• Calgary fires Bill Peters by the end of 2018.
• Pittsburgh and Capitals both miss playoffs
• Martin Jones finishes the season with a sub .900 SV%, Dell takes starters position.

 

[LordNeverLose]

Isles are better off without Tavares

(Obviously just to clarify even though I know it should be obvious based on the thread I'm sure Leafs fans would jump down my throat).

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

The Buffalo Sabres finish with less than the 62 points they got last year

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

50% of games this year will go to overtime.

 

[BlackDogg]

The Kings will never play a game.

The Kings will never play against the Oilers, who will also never play.

 

[Jets]

Marc-Andre Fleury is a point per game player.

 

[BlackDogg]

The Jets will score more goals than the Caps and the Pens put together. And they won't always even stop the play for them.

 

[Dustin]

Philadelphia will once again have goaltending issues only to have it miraculously fixed when future 9 time Vezina trophy winner Gritty steps in for an injured goaltender.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Letang will win the Norris

 

[Crazy Cizikas]

The Kings will never play against the Oilers, who will also never play.

I guess that means that Connie Mac will not win the Richard Trophy.

 

[Taswell]

Griess for Vezina.

 

[AvatarAang]

Pettersson is a franchise C after playing 9 minutes of NHL hockey

 

[JT Kreider]

Blues will be last in the Central

 

[leaffaninvancouver]

Marc-Andre Fleury is a point per game player.

Why stop there, a goalie is always on the ice he should win the the Art Ross!

 

[Huokaus]

Filppula is not going to be absolutely useless

 

[Tage2Tuch]

Oh these are always great I remember all the people here agreeing Paul Maurice would be fired, that turned out accurate lol. Only that was serious because he was on the hot seat at the time.

The canucks have started 6-3-1 by the way for anyone who didn’t remember the last two years.

And Chicago beat the pens 9-1.

Just a few examples of the first games not mattering. I made a thread about it and only 6 of the 16 playoff teams I believe it was won the first game last year, I’d have to look again. It wasn’t just a few weeks ago.

AnywAy, I sure as hell hope the first game doesn’t matter again this year, buffalo outshot Boston 13-4 with couple mins to do in third , too little too late. Boston wasn’t going to be denied Marchand looked possessed.


Only great sabres in the first game were dahlin and ristoainen....and at times Thompson and Reinhart. I don’t think Hutton was that bad tbh just three goals against, one was a one timer on the pp, I think he was screened on the other and one was stoppable.

If buffalo loses to the rangers Saturday I’ll be worried. Lol

I’m not expecting playoffs but progression obviously

 

[Dustin]

Griess for Vezina.

Nah,Gritty's got it locked down.

 

[Trade]

JAKE GUENZTEL GETS 70 POINTS AND 40 GOALS MARK MY WORDS
