James Tanner: NHL Season Kicks Off!!!!!!!! Today is the first day of the NHL season and hurray!

Colorado won the Central last year. How are they supposed to rise in the standings?

You so crazy James.

Im also super excited though!

Here are my predictions: Subban wins the norris with 70pts
Price wins the vezina with 40 wins
Canadiens lose in the cup final

Probably none of that will happen but a guy can dream right?

Your dream is to see your team lose the cup final?

If you're gonna dream, why stop at the Final? Let em win!!!!!!!

I like your style, even if I think you're choice of team is slightly offensive.

Such a stickler. I guess I mean that since they seem to be written off as a fluky team that will regress heavily by the majority of the hockey world, I think they will again be among the league's elite and cement their status going forward as "the new Chicago".

Win the West (not going to happen)

The Edmonton Oilers win the Western Conference. Sure, you think this is dumb

Yes, because it is. 0% chance this happens

always a good and fun read James!

I think the Coyotes will make the playoff as a wildcard team this year


Have a good season!!

You too and thanks for the kind words.

2. The Edmonton Oilers win the Western Conference. Sure, you think this is dumb, but actually take a look at their team. They are going to dress about 10 first round picks. 3 #1 over all picks and 4 top 3 picks. They have more overall talent in their top 6 than just about everyone. They have solid 3rd and 4th lines, a good, absolutely monstrous D and the element of surprise.

Lay of the sause before writing JT. Ovechkin may score 50 this season in 82 but he don't even come close to doing it in 40

All I am saying is that there is a more than zero% chance lol

predictions.

Tanner will issue an apology as OVI nears his 39th game and blame Cleo.

Domi will have a terrible regular season in JR and Tanner will blame the Yotes for crushing his spirit.

Domi will be on fire in the playoffs and Tanner will insinuate that Arizona regretted their decision to send him back to JR after the Yotes miss the playoffs by losing a tie-breaker with LA that was decided by goals for.

"OEL for captain" campaign will start in March on this blog

Tanner will claim doan is a lock to be traded by the TDL, as the Yotes need to recoup picks for an aging 3rd liner, then boast how he can never be replaced after the Yotes don't trade him, and blast the Yotes for even considering moving a heart and soul leader who has given his all to this team and city he loves.

OEL will not be nominated for the Norris due to lackluster offensive stats and a terrible plus/minus, and Tanner will claim a North American bias when Doughty, Weber, and Myers are finalists.

OV will say by the 10th game that he believes plus/minus is an important stat, and in turn, Tanner will blast anyone who does not consider +/- as a decisive measuring tool in regards to analytics.

And in closing, Tanner will finally admit he gets wound up in the comments section, and takes every negative thing said about him to heart, and reveals that he's secretly been cutting his Shaun Desman doll for over 9 1/3 months now.



Nice blog Tinman. Im stoked for the season too!

Oilers fans must get embarrassed by your lofty expectations....their defense has improved from a good AHL defense to maybe an average NHL one....but it sure as poop isn't monsterous.

Thanks! I tried to have some fun and cover all the bases in listing off all the Tanwick variables.

Tanner, you are completely nuts! I guess that's why I read every one of your articles. Keep up the good work.

I want this kool aid you drink, it seems to make all the pain go away.

I think the Oilers will be better, and in fact better then most people think, if they can figure out zone entry's, but the best in the west? No.

James I got OEL in my fanatasy league ! He better be everything and more you said he was actually got what I think to be a pretty solid D core in OEL Subban Wiz and Letang. might move Letang if he isn't himself though but figured he was worth the risk.
