2018-19 Season Predictions

[BGDave]

Thought we have had threads like this in the past.

Anyone care to share one slightly off the wall prediction for the coming season? Things that at the end of the year, no one saw coming (e.g. Vegas will win the Western Conference).

Mine is: Mitch Marner will win the Art Ross.

 

[Bloody Brian Burke]

Slightly outlandish prediction: The Flyers finish with the most points in the East.

Less outlandish prediction: Gritty kills somebody before the season's out.

I think the Jets struggle more than expected

The Stanley Cup will be won by a team in California

Panthers will make the playoffs.

 

[mattola]

Canucks will win 19 games

 

[dash]

Three Canadian teams will make the playoffs and three Canadian teams will finish in the bottom five in league standings.

 

[jstewismybastardson]

Canucks will win 19 games

My prediction ????

 

[mooger_35]

Canucks will win 19 games

... and pick 3rd

 

[Comeds]

Shea Weber will retire.

Gritty will not kill anyone (that we know of) and will be very popular.

 

[thedddd]

The Capitals sober up by February.

And Gritty takes out Couturier's other knee then takes the mask off to reveal he is Radko Gudas.

 

[mattola]

Three Canadian teams will make the playoffs and three Canadian teams will finish in the bottom five in league standings.

And the 7th ??? Can the Canucks even get relegated?

And the 7th ??? Can the Canucks even get relegated?

Oilers should have been relegated years ago (and they will miss the playoffs, but will finish above the bottom five).

 

[RP-29]

Crosby and Malkin both get hurt early in the season; the Penguins miss the playoffs, win the lottery and draft Jack Hughes.

/hopefully goals, not stitches
