Post your embarassingly early hot takes based on the first games

[Gurglesons]

Letang can potentially win his Norris if he stays healthy, and produces as he can with Karlsson and Burns canceling each other out and Doughty having an off season.

 

[super6646]

Flames are gonna suck bad this year

Seriously, please don't

 

[ediger]

Jets don't lose until 2020

 

[Tage2Tuch]

You really need to relax.

Hey I’ll agree with that.

 

[Jetcetera]

Tampa will finish 0-0-0 thanks obama

 

[Avsboy]

There will be recurring drama in Ottawa

 

[Canada Drai]

My fantasy hockey team will finish in last place.

 

[The Kessel Run]

Ron Hainsey will have an island named after him.

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Vancouver will be the next expansion team to Ontario.

 

[howkie]

Jets will score on every fifth shot.

 

[Elvs]

Halak will bump Rask down to be the backup in Boston. I had a feeling before the season started and I'm sure not any less convinced after their first couple of games.

 

[Todd Parchment]

Capitals will never score less than 6/game.

Scary defensive swings though.

 

[Strait2thecup]

Maxine lajoie for Calder!!!

 

[Peasy]

ROR loses his love for the game 81 more times this year.




Has higher PPG then Matthews in the past two seasons, after two sprained ankles and a team that outside him scored 173 goals last year = ridiculous contract.


Okay. You do realize the cap will only go up and it’s 8 years long when top players will be earning 15-16 million by the time his contract is done right And he will be in his 30s by then.

Are you a leaf fan by chance?? Nevermind don’t have to ask. I have never seen a non leaf fan bash eichel the way leaf fans do. Guy has 121 pts in his last 129 games. I think you don’t know how the thread works this is for this season. Btw.

Comparing a rookie and sophomore season to someone's sophomore and junior season. What great logic

It's okay, you guys will make the playoffs eventually.

Also the OP has a NY location and posts in the buffalo board.

 

[Kuz]

Carlson will have more points than any other dman in the league for the second year in a row.

 

[Stuzchuk]

Flames are in trouble with Mike Smith

I have none for Ottawa, since they're icing an AHL team

 

[agent082]

Canadiens will be better than most thought.

 

[Kuz]

I don't see how either Washington or Pittsburgh could be considered contenders with that defense.

The Caps just shut out the Bruins the night before. They ran out of gas vs the Penguins in the b2b. Caps have exactly the same defence as last year(Kempny injured) and that was good enough to win.

Letang still not good defensively, but looks like he might be back in solid offensive form. So his offensive production might be more valuable than his defensive flaws this year.

 

[Romkey]

Marchand is going to sucker punch 41 people this season. His suckerpunch/60 is phenomenal right now

 

[HabsQC]

The Habs will lose all their game in OT due to lack of talent and despite outworking their opponent bad.

The Leafs will win every game just based on their skill and will get outworked every game. Matthews will finish 1st scorer of league 162 goals.

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

The Wings may be the only team to challange Ottawa in terms of negative shot differential.

Yeah, they lost in overtime, but the shot discrepancy was embarrassing.

 

[NyQuil]

The Wings may be the only team to challange Ottawa in terms of negative shot differential.

Yeah, they lost in overtime, but the shot discrepancy was embarrassing.

What's funny about the Ottawa-Chicago game is that the Senators looked like the better team for most of it despite being outshot.

They were going to the high-danger areas to manufacture chances while the Hawks were just throwing pucks at the net.

Ottawa sat on the lead in the 3rd after failing to get a 4th goal (one disallowed) and it cost them.

Anyway, maybe Chicago was worse than Ottawa being good.

 

[tucker3434]

Vegas sucks! I knew it!

Doubt I’m in the first 100 to post that.

 

[Michoulicious]

Halak ends up #1 in Boston, gets a contract prolongation midseason and takes them to the conference finals.

Then starts a summer of debate in Boston as who should be the #1 going forward between him and Rask. He ends up being traded to Washington for Eller and Ian Schultz (who the Caps just signed for the LoLz of it), and everyone is laughing everywhere until the end of times.

 

[BonMorrison]

This is a good thread.

The Predators are going to lead the league in blown leads this year. I mean, we didn't blow the lead last night but let's be honest, with 30 more seconds they hundred percent would have.
