30 REAL bold predictions for the upcoming season (1-7)

Travis Yost here at hockeybuzz posted a couple of blogs the past few days making "predictions" for each of the 30 NHL clubs for the upcoming season, and although I found it quite amusing to read, I found that a lot of his "bold predictions" either weren't very bold at all, or were barely predictions.

I think that's a fair assumption, but only because of his numbers the past couple years. Remember though, last year he played on a first... Read More »

Understating Achievements...

With training camp over, and a slew of exhibition games that probably should have been cut in half if the league knew what was good for them (I mean, auditioning new guys is one thing, but by the end, the coaches know who’s staying and going, and they’re just playing whoever they don’t care about hurting), it’s time to face reality. The blue and white came out with a respectful record, and... Read More »
