Bob Boughner is an idiot who played Micheal Haley - the worst player in the NHL - in 75 games this season. The difference between Haley and a waiver wire pickup like Ryan Carpenter would have almost been enough to push Boughner’s Florida Panthers into the playoffs. Boughner is a
terrible coach.

He would be right in line with other recent Jack Adams winners.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

Such wacky. Much laugh.

 

[Ossific]

Hmmm do you like the leafs? Wacky.

 

[ViktorBaeArvidsson]

You know what this thread also reminded me of, that boomerang show Wacky Races.

I watched that show along with scooby doo every day when I was in grade 3. Couldn't remember the name of the show until you mentioned it. Thanks.

Do any of you remember the video game Wacky Wheels?

Some super unbiased takes here

Some super unbiased takes here

Having a team that's actually good will do that.

 

[BlackDogg]

Tavares doesn't jive with Marner and is traded in the off-season for a #4 D.

 

[M2Beezy]

Having a team that's actually good will do that.

Dont see Pens Tampa Caps Preds or Bruins fans coming here doing stuff like this. Pretty much one fan base unfortunately

As for preddies for this year:

1 Colorado suprises and competes with the Jets and Preds for top of the Central

2 Anahiem inplodes and starts becoming a seller at the TDL

3 Islanders and Devils surpass expectations and do well. Devils in the playoffs, Islanders miss out but show a promising young core

4 Barzal ends up top ten in scoring

5 Six coaches fired by the end of the season

Good, yes but they’re still a team that hasn’t won a damn thing. Op being overly optimistic to the point of living in fantasy land.

I don't see any of them here at all, at least not yet.

I think Helly is the real deal as is Barzal but he will have a short adjustment period but still gets 80, but think Boston could see a slight drop off, they won like 46 of their last 60 games or something crazy but should still easily make the playoffs with 100-104 points.

Marner is good but top five scoring good I'm not sure yet, ain't nothing unreasonable about predicting 48 goals for Matthews (he's over career 0.5 goals/game) or the Leafs winning the President's Trophy, all that takes is a few Tampa or Nashville injuries.

Anyways...

1. Calgary and Vancouver playing for the final Wild card in the last week of the season.

2. Corey Perry bounces back, 30-35-65.

3. Washington gets bounced in the first round, because Ovechkin is still hungover.

4. Florida gets the last wild card spot in the east.

5. Rookie of the year: Miro Heskainen.

6. Vegas once again gets over 100 points.

7. Sharks miss the playoffs.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Blues make the finals....

With Ville Husso as their starter

Do any of you remember the video game Wacky Wheels?

[Fear]

Flyers make the ECF

As for the leafs my preddy is Marner outscores Matthews quite easily

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Alex Galchenyuk scores 40 goals....

Max Domi doesnt hit 40 points

 

[Cheddabombs]

i don't think the Devils missing the playoffs is wacky at all lol

1) Canes finish 2nd in the Metro
2) Ottawa is better than expected, miss the playoffs by 3 points and still win (or lose I guess) the draft lottery
3) Wild miss the playoffs
4) Oilers win the Pacific

 

[IPS]

Evgeni Malkin scores 105 points and gets dropped down to #29th spot on TNH's top-50 best players list.

 

[jonlin]

1. Aleksander Barkov plays 82g and has 35g + 60a for 95p
2. Florida plays in SCF because of Barkovs superb game, but looses in 6
3. Patrick Laine scores 51g
4. Heiskanen is Rookie of the year with 10g 32a and a +18
5. Aho leads Hurricanes to the playoffs having a career-year - 32g and 45a

It’s a thread for crazy predictions, who cares if they are biased or wrong? It’s literally called crazy predictions they aren’t based on reality.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

Bergevin wins GM of the yr.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Kovalchuk 40 goals
Vancouver gets a Pacific playoff seed, Markstrom Vezina winner
Mike Smith lets in an actual beach ball, gets suspended for throwing his stick at the fan who scores
Montreal makes the playoffs
Karlsson wins the Art Ross, Ottawa misses the playoffs by one point, giving Melnyk even more bravado, Ottawa fans mail a million plastic kidneys to his dr. evil island hideout
Byfuglien literally fights two players at once, bonks their heads together like a cartoon meathead villain
Ryan Reaves scores 30 points, scores Stanley Cup winning goal hungover

You’d think that was obvious or something, but apparently not.
