5 bold predictions.

[keytolife]

1. Frolik leads Winnipeg in scoring.
2. Holtby wins Vezina.
3. Darnell Nurse wins Calder.
4. Suspensions handed out are reasonable and consistent.
5. Two Canadian teams play in the Stanley Cup Final.

If 1. happens i officially resign from hockey cause my hockey knowledge is zero. That one is uberbold.

Leafs can be eliminated from the playoffs before the playoffs start lol

Yes, you are correct. I had considered that before I posted and I think it would be more fitting for that to occur. The Leafs are my favourite team but I haven't liked many of their players for a few years now but I did like Grabovski and Kulemin.

Noooo......please don't quit hockey!

[Rodgort]

No. 4 is awesome, but you assume the Leafs make the playoffs? That is very bold!

In all fairness I meant game 82 (or the last regular season game they play) eliminating the leafs and getting Carlyle fired in the off-season haha

I hope we don't have to wait until then for Carlyle to get fired.

Ah. The first four I could actually see.

[LawMan]

1. The San Jose Sharks finally win the Stanley Cup.
2. Ovechkin continues his downward slide failing to top 70 points.
3. Crosby and Malkin stay healthy, play 75 games + each and top 120 (Sid) and 105 (Geno) points
4. Colorado has a huge correction, MacKinnon doesn't top 60, Varlamov doesn't top 30 wins.
5. Pascal Dupuis gets healthy, replaces Neal on the PP and tops 60 points.

[deantime419]

1. Nash gets bumped from the top 6 - finishes season with < 0.6 ppg
2. Yakupov has a dreadful season - signs KHL contract next summer
3. Boston finishes bottom 5 in goals per game BUT Rask wins another Vezina
4. Sedins return to 80 pts
5. Halak plays 60 games - is a Vezina finalist and leads the Islanders to the 2nd round of the playoffs

Nice thread Big Baby. We do traditionally do a 5 Fearless Forecasts thread every year and it always makes an interesting thread to revisit later in the season and at the the end of course.

Here are mine -
1 - Montreal misses Gionta and Gorges more than they realized and just squeak into the playoffs to be dispatched quickly in 4 games straight courtesy of the Bruins (revenge )
2 - Philadelphia wins the draft lottery and lands McDavid
3 - 4 teams from the East (CLB, DET, PHI, NYR) who made the playoffs last year miss out to make way for NYI, NJ, WSH, TOR
4 - PK Subban scores less than 40-points even though he plays all 82 games
5 - Dallas wins the Central after STL and CHI both struggle

[wendelclark17]

I haven't read through all the responses so apologies if some of these have already been suggested.

1.) Florida makes the playoffs
2.) Burakovsky wins the Calder
3.) Barrie finished 2nd in Dmen scoring behind Karlsson
4.) Yakupov gets less than 40 pts
5.) Zetterberg finishes top 5 in scoring.

[Fast Tony DeNiro]

1 - Nate MacKinnon scores 90+ points
2 - St. Louis struggles, Hitchcock is fired, they miss the playoffs
3 - Evgeni Kuznetsov outscores Alex Ovechkin
4 - Dany Heatley's corpse reanimates and scores 35 goals
5 - Jakub Voracek leads the Flyers in scoring

[horrorfan]

1. Calgary finishes the regular season as the best Canadian team and makes the playoffs, led by Karri Ramo.
2. Martin St. Louis scores more points than Stamkos.
3. Neal and Ribeiro click in Nashville; Neal scores 40 goals and Ribeiro hits 80 points.
4. Washington wins the Cup, thanks to Ovechkin scoring 60 goals, Carlson winning the Norris with 60 points and Holtby having a season like Bishop in 2013/14.
5. I win the Rocky Horror Roto Show. Ok, this one is not so bold.

Carlson winning the Vezina?!? that really is bold
