Predict the upcoming season

[peate]

Now that we have a good idea what the team will look like, where do you think we'll finish, assuming everyone is healthy?

May I suggest adding an option that involves finishing 4th or higher, missing the playoffs but not falling into the "missed it by that much zone" (say 13-14-15th spot)? This option would cover a finish in the 4th to 12th spot, which is not envisaged by the poll options.

Also, it may be a good idea to define "missed it by that much" (do you mean 15th alone? Or maybe a 13-15th bracket?)

Thanks in advance.

Added you choice, now don't get too picky.

What happens if I don't vote for it?

Thanks peate, much appreciated.

10th or 11th.

I predict 5 on 5 scoring to be worse than last season, power play scoring to struggle similar to last season, production will regress moderately across the board for our roster.

Bolts, Leafs, Bruins, Caps and Pens ahead of Montreal. 3-4 of Canes, Panthers, Devils, Rangers, Sabres and Islanders will finish ahead of Montreal.

9th-10th sounds about right.

 

[The Great Weal]

Probably something similar to last year, maybe even a bit lower.

 

[Phil Parent]

They'll miss them. Right now, I'm thinking they'll miss by little. But they'll miss them.

100% not making the playoffs this year.

My hope is they finish bottom 3, or better yet: they win the damn f***ing lottery.

 

[Runner77]

Poll is leaning towards same ending as last season.

I would have gone for that but just seems like some teams may have improved in the off season while the Habs are mostly coming back with last season's team. Hence, I'm thinking they're more likely to finish 12th or lower.

 

[Mike Hasselhoffman]

Just missing out. Tampa, Boston, and Toronto should repeat at the top of the division, and Florida has improved significantly so they have the edge for 4th in the division. I think each eastern division sends 4 teams to the playoffs so Montreal just misses.

 

[Miller Time]

If Price is healthy, I see him having a vezina/hart type year...

Short of that, playoffs are highly unlikely.

 

[Tabarouette]

I voted for the middle one but my actual real prediction is probably lower than that

The odds of everyone repeating what they did last year + the new youngsters picking up the pace + not getting any major injuries + beating teams that all got better around us are lower than it might look

East could very well be even more tight than last season. Should be a hell of a fight all year long again with no easy games.
With Weber from the start, the addition of Suzuki, Poehling, Fleury and Chiarot Habs are a better team than last year at the same period.

Bergevin will make some other moves during the season, adding size and bring a new dman in.

Caufield will join in March.

I voted first wild card but I got this feeling the Habs could surprise a lot of people again and finish as high as top 3 in division with something around 104 points.

Have good time and enjoy the season Habs fans

10th in the conference 18th in the league

If Florida stay healthy they will certainly vie for the division lead IMO. I expect Tampa to simmer down some this year. The last team to win wire to wire was Chicago if my memory serves me right. So much is about peaking at the right time given the trials and tribulations 16 wins requires when the whistles get put away. I think a lot of good teams try to take this approach. Not us obviously we want to salt it away in Oct and Nov. It's still something MB talks about and believes.

Lafrenierre would be huge.

That is the totally moronic part and I refuse to capitulate.

This picture is so big that Alzner scares me more than Jason and Freddy

We missed the PO last season because of or horrible PP. They did nothing to fix it and they have the same coaching staff.

They'll miss them again.
