BTH Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I can't stand these predictions. They just take last year's standings and add or subtract a spot and call them foresight when it's actually hindsight. Everything's so safe. I think it's very possible that 5 out of their 6 projected division winners are wrong. Calgary is the only one that I consider a "lock" but who knows, most of the teams in that division are wildcards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre the Great Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I only make predictions at the half way point so I know which teams are going places and which are not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMMR Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Not very good predictions the Hurricanes lost a lot of key players, I will be shocked if they win the Divison with Flordia scoing tons of goals and the Thrashers having solid goaltending!

BTH Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 I only make predictions at the half way point so I know which teams are going places and which are not. But then they aren't really predictions. I mean, you get more glory out of getting it right, right from the start of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be happy that you haven't read their articles. 'Cause if you had, you'd be devastated. I started subscribing the fall after Montreal won the Cup in 1993. The last couple of years I hesitate longer and longer before renewing my subscription. Especially with the Internet I feel the need is not as great as it once was. If I want crappy hockey articles, I can get them without having to shell out big bucks for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
