Listen, Ek called it. Done deal. Besides, it's sunny and 50° in Nashville today so there is no parade raining allowed. So go to your room and think about what you've done

Hey buddy

I love how Isles fans come on the main blog and bash themselves!!!

Let's beat the other fans to it, and bash our own team...

Such a positive bunch...

I'd bet with anyone that Montréal will finish dead last in their conference and last in the entire league.

Several AHL teams have better D's.

I bet you a billion dollars they do not

All 5 teams from the atlantic will make it despite the near impossibility of this given then weighted schedule. Got it.

Everyone, if you bet on the NHL, bet on every Atlantic game going to OT......

edit: and none of them losing to any team outside the division.

I gotta say I have the leafs making the play-offs with home ice alot of heads will turn this year!!!! I BELEAF!!!
- mike1975

Dude. I appreciate your enthusiasm but it is fans like you that make fans of other teams hate Leafs Nation.

Realistically, I think the Leafs finish 2nd or 3rd from the bottom of the conference. I hope they somehow squeak into the playoffs but I doubt it.

none of you have any clue what's going to happen
- Zezel

No sir! I am not bothering with any predictions this year, because I have never had less of a sense of how a season is going to go... At the best of times I lack confidence at predicting these things, but this year poses special problems (i.e. the compressed schedule, all intraconference play, etc.) I don't even know how to consider.

Can I get in on your side as well?

Meh. The Sabres suck.

Hey now, it's a time for optimism for all fan bases, or at least it should be... I won't troll anyone today, though I likewise am very skeptical about the Leafs' ability to secure a home playoff spot.

sens last in the northeast....

I'll have some of whatever you're smoking/snorting


AT WORST the sens finish 4th
- sensarmy_11

fixed.

bruins/sabres will get 1/2, leafs 3, sens 4th, habs 5th.

Can I get in on your side as well?

Absolutely. I'm only good for about $12 anyways

St. Louis meets Boston in the final. La and NYr make the conference finals. Detroit misses playoffs. Bryzalov has career year and sucks in playoffs. Fleyers draft fucale and buy out Bryz.

You may want to make a few more predictions so you can at least be right on one of them...

heads will be turning away in disgust maybe.

not a good team.

so my tv options are at noon: phi/pitt; chi/la or ott/wpg (something tells me i'm gonna be doing a lot of flipping). then at 4 i get habs/leafs. and then at 7 i get nucks/ducks.

and this is just a regular tv package without very many "frills."

i LOVE canada!!!!

I thought with opening day this place would be full of Olli gifs?

Craaazzy! just cause it's a shortened season doesn't mean the Islanders will make the playoffs! They are hardly even close to that, sorry.

100% agree with this. EK is way off base, shocker. Take a look at our defense. Even as a fan it's hard not to acknowledge.

If you're goaltending pans out it wouldn't shock me.

Not that it helps your D any, but why didn't Islanders re-sign PA?
