News Article: Training camp ongoing. Camp discussion part 2

[Smartguy]

Meh that doesn’t look to far off, give a few more to Drai/Nuge. But everyone else is pretty close. It’s going to take some big steps forward from anyone else anyways to make the playoffs, I don’t think that’s shocking news, we’re going to need guys to step up

 

[guymez]

Probably right. Gamesmanship for game 1 sounds goofy though. Who would buy it, and why would Jersey care?

Jersey knows very little about Koskinen so if TMac can add some work to their pre game preparation then it s a pretty smart move on his part.
If they ignore it then it doesnt matter.
Thats sort of my point...its nothing to be concerned about.

Not sure where this fits, but the TSN top 300 scoring prediction lists this for the Oilers. If this comes true, I don't see us as a playoff team...

Clearly they think that Rattie wont be playing the bulk of his 67 games with Connor or even on the 1st unit PP.

Meh...

 

[snipes]

I laughed way harder than I should have at that. Mrs. snipes was just looking at me like wtf you giggling at?

 

[t0nedeff]

let me guess 8 of the top 20 are Maple Leaf players.

 

[nexttothemoon]

"Kyler"

Give them a break... they are busy compiling the top 10 songs for after-practice cool down sessions for each Leaf player.

 

[Jumptheshark]

let me guess 8 of the top 20 are Maple Leaf players.

More like 12

 

[Del Preston]

let me guess 8 of the top 20 are Maple Leaf players.

Scott Cullen is the author. He's got William Nylander scoring 66 points in 81 games despite not having a contract, Corey Perry with 53 points in 77 games even though he's going to miss five months, and Erik Karlsson still on the Senators.

Real gud work by Cullen.

 

[GodPucker]

Drai was not even in TSN's top 50 players lol.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Jersey knows very little about Koskinen so if TMac can add some work to their pre game preparation then it s a pretty smart move on his part.
If they ignore it then it doesnt matter.
Thats sort of my point...its nothing to be concerned about.

I seriously doubt Jersey’s changing any part of their prep for game one of the season based on Koskinen.
Either way, you’re probably right.

 

[Cloned]

Clearly they think that Rattie wont be playing the bulk of his 67 games with Connor or even on the 1st unit PP.

Just take 25 points off Lucic's total and add it to Rattie's. That's probably more realistic anyways.

Cullen has always been an idiot.

 

[RegDunlop]

Interesting.
Maybe that is why the first 12 rows in the old Coliseum were retractable. I remember Row 13 in the reds always had a more comfortable seat than Row 12.

You guys are way off.

It was purposely built with retractable stands to cart all the Stanley Cups in and out.
Unfortunately Peter f**ked that up.

what a jagoff, Nuge'll flirt with 75

Its kind of a silly list IMO.
I was going to dig into it but its probably just going to piss me off so I changed my mind...lol

Looking at those TSN stats predictions...

Here's the aggregate scoring point totals for each team comprised of all the players in their list of the top 412 NHL scorers:

2	Pittsburgh	661
3	Tampa Bay	650
4	Winnipeg	648
5	Nashville	634

Fixed....except I'm not sure what happened with Nuge and Drai's point totals.

Injuries will reduce some of these numbers but I think this team's gonna score some goals. They'll be top 10 in goals for again and top 5 in short handed goals for this year.

 

[Jepprey]

Ty "Art Ross" Rattie will have 33 points in October never mind the whole season.

 

[Seachd]

Give poor TSN a break. They got most of the names right.

Too bad they expect McDavid to begin declining this year.

Would be interesting to recast the above using last season's point totals to truly see the bias... err... "analysis"... in action.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I'm not particularly sure why we care about what TSN thinks.

I'm not particularly sure why we care about what TSN thinks.

People complain about all these polls and predictions all the time, but continue to post them. I don't get it either
