1) That is obviously ridiculous. My apologies that a member of Leaf Nation was so embarrassingly off the mark.

2) I totally just "ctrl+s" the phrase "Vurped" - #UsingIt!

Hyman + Polak + 2nd for Crosby

Still trying to figure out EK's fixation on the Islanders. Out of their next ten games they're playing: PIT, BOS, NSH(twice) and OTT. They're also playing CAR who is not to be taken likely.

He's been trying to trade Kadri and Nylander for a long time now. Kadri at least 3 years.

Plus the Leafs won the Kessel trade apparently. Boy I'm sure Pens fans are regretting that one!

Yeah... I mean winning that cup last year with Kessel as the player who probably should have won the conn smythe? hahahaha

In a way they did. They sucked and got Auston Matthews

If Kapanen didn't get injured in the AHL we'd be talking him up a lot too - that kid is going to be good as well.

I know right?

Mental. Oh well, Leafs might catch a break one of these days.

But remember according to Mike I'm full of Jello, it's Bad for the Leafs to make the playoffs! BAD!

Honestly I'll be shocked to learn many posters on that thread read the blog.

An NHL season has 2460 games.

That means 1230 wins and a combination of 1230 losses and OTL.

The projection has 1227 wins and 1233 losses.

What three games have both teams losing?

Jello may be one of my favourite North American words... In England we just call it Jelly, and that's not quite as jolly a word. All of this is sadly ironic of course, because jelly/o itself is always quite disappointing (which may or may not be an apt metaphor for the Leafs... )

Let it be.

Any time that Vancouver plays Boston without the arena getting flattened...


(Though to be fair, we ALL lose in that instance )

My wife and I used to refer to Matthews as "The taint" for that brief time that he was stuck between Hyman and Brown...

so did you get a new nickname temporarily?

Soooooo.. in calgarys last 9 games your prediction is they will lose 8 games in OT or SO?? hmmm bold prediction!!

And the curve-fitting continues.

It is intuitively obvious that as the days left in the season limit approaches zero, predictions shall approach 100% accuracy.

You just loss 96.3% of people here.

Nice edit job, EK. You posted last nights predictions this morning and gave yourself a 2-1 record. When will we see tonight's predictions? Tomorrow morning?
