Your embarrassingly early hot takes after first few games?

[Paperbagofglory]

Not all of these landed perfectly, some because of the shortened schedule, but they were close enough to be good calls.

The Draisaitl prediction was an easy one. Guy almost tied for the rocket the year before. Either he stays at the same level or drops off easy enough 50 50 split on those options. However Mcdavid was coming off a horrific and near career defining injury. There was no way in hell he wouldn't have a slow start.

Anthony Cirelli has caught the virus that's been going around the Lightning locker room

Lmfao

 

[Fixed to Ruin]

Sharks will miss the playoffs.

 

[2023FriendshipTour]

Edmonton makes the playoffs.

You're welcome Edmonton.

 

[GreeningOil]

The Red Wings may not be so horrible. The Stars actually may be.

Ouchie

 

[GreeningOil]

Leon Draisaitl will win the Hart and Lindsay.

Still can’t decide if this is hot take or not.

This aged quite well

I mean if the season continued, with the way the Penguins were playing they actually might have lol

Absolutely no chance whatsoever Pens would have missed the playoffs imo. Their issue isn't that they're not good - it's that they tend to coast. They wouldn't have missed.

Dissapointed, no one predicted the pandemic and season being suspended..

I did in the first reply - but mods deemed my post to be too negative so they deleted it.

 

[Rysto]

Did anybody call the Stanley Cup being handed out in Edmonton this season?

I was right on my Dr. Drai call. He will have a big 3 clean sweep. Ross/Lindsay/Hart.

Good hot takes from this thread: Big season for Zibanejad, Sharks miss the playoffs, Babcock is close to being fired, neither Kakko or Hughes are Calder finalists

Bad hot takes from this thread: Penguins miss the playoffs, Cody Glass will be a Calder finalist, Bob will win the Vezina, Sabres will be a playoff team

I called Drai on the Hart and Lindsay win

 

[Machinehead]

All these Zibanejad takes ended up being surprisingly sane.

He paced for 108 points.

[Sidney the Kidney]

Leon Draisaitl will win the Hart and Lindsay.

Still can’t decide if this is hot take or not.

Quick, tell me what the lottery numbers for tomorrow's draw is please.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

I thought Kakko was going to score 30...

 

[Necrobutcher]

Bobrovski will win the Vezina.

Close but no cigar.

 

[Wandering Cynic]

I think it'll be between him and Olofsson. J.Hughes and Kakko are nowhere to be found right now.

They are still nowhere to be found lol.

Brady skjei will be a franchise dman for the canes. Can’t believe the rags traded him after how much of a beast he was this yr.

You're about 9 months late with the early season predictions bud

 

[Conbon]

Vezina goes to Carter Hart

Couterier wins Selke

Flyers win the East

Flyers win the cup

Couturier will win Selke and Flyers are my dark horse for the cup

 

[The Moose is Loose]

Hellebuyck is the new Pavelec.

[The Moose is Loose]

Bertuzzi - 65+ points
Larkin - 80+ points
Mantha - 35+ goals, 75+ points

Detroit - bottom 10 pick

[LarKing]

Did you read which thread you were in before posting?

Yes. Still some of these were pretty rough. Way too many about Neal. The Wings were destined to be awful, there was a 0% chance any of those guys were coming near those numbers

...hence them being “embarrassingly hot takes”
