Your embarrassingly early hot takes after first few games?

[Esko6]

I'll just go with Matthews winning the Rocket, I thought this last year too.

 

[Hockey Crazy]

Nylander out scores Marner

 

[Merrrlin]

Mika Zibanejad will win the Hart and the Art Ross

Sweet baby Jesus. That plus the Mahomes moniker is a delicious combination.

I think Carolina wins the President's Trophy, then loses in round 1.

Scratching a 4 liner for 1 game and keeping one of the best lines in hockey together and riding a workhorse goaltender.

He's done.

This is my point. They're all small nothing decisions. In fact, most of them could be defended or critiqued one way or the other.

"Why is he letting Spezza play, he's washed up?" "He should keep the line together to let them develop chemistry". "Should have played the backup in the other game."

Every choice is wrong, no matter what he does. It's far different from when Babs got to Toronto and he could do no wrong. It's clear he's got massive pressure because now every measly, microscopic, insignificant decision is called out.

 

[BruinsBtn]

Hellebuyck is the new Pavelec.

 

[Whoshattenkirkshoes]

Lightning win presidents trophy

Detroit fights for a wild card

Leafs finish in wild card

 

[Bonzo111]

I’m just wondering why you would somehow be qualified to make that absurd statement. You don’t seem to be a fan of either team, so drugs were the next option.

I have to be a fan to know the ducks and sabres won't be in the SCF this year?

 

[Stealth JD]

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

 

[GMofOilers]

Kassian is on pace for 82 goals this year.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

Mika Zibanejad is in for a big season. But will not score 328 points.

 

[Juicy Pop]

Konecny is going to have a Kucherov-like emergence.

 

[Moose Head]

Lamar Jackson is this years Mahomes.

Err, sorry, wrong sport.

 

[Curufinwe]

82 goals for Lindblom and 164 for Konecny.

 

[Seanaconda]

Forsberg will hit 40 goals if he plays 80 games

idk if thats even a hot take , guy can shoot and finally has a center that is good at passing.

 

[YEM]

teams starting the season in europe is a horrendous idea

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Jets are in big trouble if they don't shore up that defense.

 

[Chiarelli]

I’ve already bet two people Pittsburgh misses playoffs

 

[2CHAINZ]

Ottawa LOL

 

[BonMorrison]

Sharks gonna be a bottom five team somehow.

 

[Puckluck13]

Mike Babcock is terribly overrated and the Leafs would be a much better team with him gone.

 

[42]

Mantha will score 205 goals.

 

[Howboutthempanthers]

teams starting the season in europe is a horrendous idea

Well, generally I can see why the NHL tries that. But for my team, every season they had a game oversees ends in disappointment.

 

[God King Fudge]

Tampa is below .500 going into December and Cooper is fired.

 

[snipes]

Tobias Bjonfot will be a strong candidate for the Calder trophy.

What?

He was getting blown by almost every shift by McDavid and Co. in his first game.

 

[Paralyzer]

Toronto won't win the Cup.

Speaking the truth, brother! Amen!
