Yeah, it only took 18 goals and 36 assists to beat him  :o 

Good to see him finally lose, as it has been a long time. When you have the top 2 goalies in the league, they're pretty much set-up to repeat.

129 fps from the skaters is the top week from any group of skaters this year, and it will be hard to top it for a week.

I can take a shot at predicting the future for the Atlantic.

:DET-NHL: RedWings #1
Good owner.
Actively managed team.
Mainly adds. Very little subtraction here.
Seems to be perennial contender in the Atlantic.
Has plenty of 1st round draft picks to use to build his team now and in the future.

:BOS-NHL: Bruins #2
Good owner.
Winning history with 2 championships.
Core of roster still in place.

:MON-NHL: Canadiens #3
Active and relatively new motivated owner.
Has all the right pieces to compete and win this year.

:TOR-NHL: Maple Leafs #4
Good active owner.
Hellebuyck might carry team.
Blueline might lack depth.
Plenty of scoring up front to challenge for Top 3 finish, easily in mix for Wildcard.

:TBL: Lightning #5
Active owner.
Evolving roster.
Blueline might lack experience.
MiLR being rebuilt.
If Cory Schneider plays approx 50 games TB bumps up to Top 3.
Huge trade for Tavares to compliment Stamkos.

:BUF-NHL: Sabres #6
Active owner.
Continuing rebuilding project started in 2017-18.
Some good prospects on the MiLR.
If Tristan Jarry and Thatcher Demko get semi-regular NHL PT, watch out!

:OTT: Senators #7
Well managed team.
Thin on the W.
D lacks depth.
Lots of good prospects in the MiLR.
Recently landed a 1B goalie in Kinkaid.
Darkhorse to climb into a Wildcard spot by mid-season.

:FLO: Panthers #8
Good owner.
Not very active.
Some good players but inconsistent roster.
Big deep MiLR with talent.
Too many holes to plug as the season starts.

Beef came close to nailing it aside from the flipflop on :TBL: and :OTT: this prediction is pretty accurate so far.

A well-conditioned team wins in the first ten minutes, maybe less. The opponent is destroyed not just on the scoreboard but their will is broken when an opponent comes out hard and fast.

METRO DIVISION PREDICTIONS

TOP 3 TO MAKE POSTSEASON
:CAR-NHL: Carolina - Halo is still building up his forces of evil and clearly last yr's almost perfect unbeaten record (only 4 loses in 84 game schedule) was strategic and his roster only seems to have gotten better.

:PHI-NHL: Flyers - Didn't lose much to FA and added some much needed support to challenge the Canes.

:PIT-NHL: Pens - If SDP draftee goalie Mikko Koskinen wins the backup role in Oil counrty, Pittsburgh might have a shot at locking up a playoff spot this year. Malkin and Crosby told me so.

Wildcards & IN-THE-MIX
:NYI: Isls - If Robin Lehner wins the starting gig with the NHL Islanders, Johnny's team will be a serious contender. If not, NYI will be fighting for a shot at the post-season right down to the final wk of the season.
:NYR: Rangers - Some additions and subtractions helped and seemed to have also hurt the team.
:WAS-NHL3: Caps - Ovie, K.Connor, Nichushkin, Landeskog, Granlund, Toffoli, Butcher, Schultz, and Suter all say they're good for a playoff berth. Adam Werner & Kari Lehtonen say, "NOT SO FAR JONATHAN!"
:CLS: Jackets - Plenty of talent on the roster that Blkhwkfn has rebuilt over the past season and a half. If McElhinney, Neuvirth & Korpisalo pull their weight, Columbus is in like Flinn! If not, they'll be like a rock - at the bottom of the Metro Division.

Longshot to be relevant
:NJD: Devils - The team is currently for sale. Alex Lyon is penciled in as the starter after NJ dealt Cory Schneider (traded to FNHL :TBL:) who they got for Chad Johnson & Jake Allen (traded to fav trade partner FNHL :CAR-NHL:) over the Summer. Zetterberg isn't playing due to back issues. Pacioretty is on the NHL Habs' trade block. Gostisbehere & Van Riemsdyk were just sent off to FNHL :DET-NHL:. Not much left to talk about aside from the team's future potential. They do have RNH, meh; Skinner who's now in Buffalo :doh: ; Zuccar-Jello! Woohooo! Free Agency will bring in some new blood but the silent fire sale might be too much to recover from.

PPG also had a very good prediction in the offseason for the Metropolitan Division with the exception of :NYI: who are #1 currently and looking to get stronger. Of course PPG left a caveat about :NYI: goaltenders. :toast:

I like the Skinner comment, guy is unstoppable in Buffalo. Why did NJ trade away a 40 goal player?

    Yesterday at 05:44:27 PM
  • Daddy: She deserves a refund too
    Yesterday at 05:46:27 PM
  • Daddy: The point was DirecTV never got in your pockets and it was a rip-off but they had a monopoly on the product. Im not loving all the streaming games but DTV will be paying $$$.
    Yesterday at 05:48:22 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: The new iteration with Youtube TV isnt the greatest either but an improvement on Directtv version
    Yesterday at 05:48:37 PM
  • Daddy: And your grandfather used it every year besides those two :rofl:
    Yesterday at 05:49:26 PM
  • Daddy: I kept DirecTV and always willing to share. But thats my point.
    Yesterday at 05:49:47 PM
  • Daddy: If i had 3 monitors rather than two or four rather than two, either me or moms save money. Lots of it.
    Yesterday at 05:50:26 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: Yea your point is just wrong is all. Theyve gotten into my pockets directly and indirectly
    Yesterday at 05:51:03 PM
  • Daddy: Oh, i was unaware. DTV must have got us all.
    Yesterday at 05:51:55 PM
  • Daddy: I know you dont endorse them. Never did. I paid for lots of crap i never used. Just for NFL Sunday Ticket.
    Yesterday at 05:52:45 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I dont and didnt endorse cable period. The irony is streaming is becoming cable now.
    Yesterday at 05:55:39 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: I paid for directtv version 1-2 years when i had my apartment. Not as much as the 35+ crowd but they did
    Yesterday at 05:56:34 PM
  • Daddy: Still never watched a game on YouTube. I miss the days of CBS = AFC >> FOX/NBC = NFC >> ABC = MNF
    Yesterday at 05:56:42 PM
  • Jwalkerjr88: There was no reason to have directtv outside of sunday ticket. My apartment couldnt get it so i paid ONLY for sunday ticket
    Yesterday at 05:57:04 PM
  • Daddy: I was ok with TNF & SNF.
    Yesterday at 05:57:43 PM
  • Daddy: Its all over the place now. So ive stuck with what i know. The Ticket. I can't miss a Rams game. Not gonna do it.

    Yesterday at 10:39:25 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: I'm available.  Not sure if we match up anywhere other than NHL Live, but let me know if there's something you're interested in @Brian
    Yesterday at 10:45:39 PM
  • ldsjayhawk: The other leagues for me are FGM, MLB Live and DNHL in case any-one else is looking to do a deal
    Yesterday at 10:49:01 PM
  • Daddy: Healthy mix. Couple baseball, couple hockey, different scoring options.
    Yesterday at 11:08:15 PM
  • Daddy: You probably kick ass in all of them although NHL LIVE hasnt officially started.
    Yesterday at 11:08:42 PM
  • Daddy: I respect your gaming options
    Yesterday at 11:09:54 PM
  • Daddy: I would for sure be an FGM or Armchair owner if i were here for baseball. Powerhouse too. Why not? Great leagues with better LMs.
    Yesterday at 11:16:38 PM
  • Daddy: DNHL must be 15 years old. Gotta be doing something right. Most leagues dont make it past 5. Very few make it 10.
