DL44 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 OPENING NIGHT.4 gamesWho ya got?Habs @ Leafs - Leafs losing makes the internet funFlyers @ Bruins - I don't like how the Flyers are constructed. Have a feeling they'll be in tough this yr if Giroux is anything but elite.Canucks @ Flames - Well.. you know.Sharks @ Kings - I'm expecting a drama filled, distracting year for the Sharks.. I think they went everything wrong this off-season. They created a goaltending controversy, a leadership controversy, actively alienating their vets but not including them at media events... Completely self inflicted gong show. And now McLennan and Wilson gotta pray the vets are still on board after all this.. good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Agree on Habs over Leafs I figure the Flyers lose to the Bruins tonight but win their home opener against NJ tomorrow Canucks lose tonight to set the course for most of the season King raise the SC banner. Too much adrenaline for them to lose. (The players SJ POed will try to prove management was wrong & bring their A game to either get the heck out of town or put management to shame. Come out 2nd best in LA though.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL44 Posted October 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Interesting anomaly of a stat... Dmen are outshooting the forwards 7-1 in the first half period of play in the Philly-Bos game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wreckening Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have the Habs beating the Leafs, the Bruins over Philly (sorry FF), the Flames over the Canucks and the Kings over the Sharks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I have the Habs beating the Leafs, the Bruins over Philly (sorry FF), the Flames over the Canucks and the Kings over the Sharks. I said the same (Bruins win) so am 2-2 tonight. So the Flames & Kings need to make me infallable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL44 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 Rough night for FF52 'the fan' i see... 0-3Tonight's games of who I got...(Do the other 1 or 2 people who participate in this in the future want to make a daily friendly competition outta of it and pick who we THINK will win instead of who we WANT to to win?? maybe only for the days with 8 or more games??) Anyways.. think about it..Jackets @ Sabres : Going for the Jackets this yr to make the playoffs...Habs @ Caps : I'll lean Caps, Habs super emotional win last night, on the road, backup, Caps home opener, new coach, lots to prove... So watch it all go horribly wrong despite the way its supposed to go.Devils @ Flyers : I don't like how the Flyers are constructed. Have a feeling they'll be in tough this yr if Giroux is anything but elite.Ducks @ Pens : May this be the start of the Kalifornia Kesler Kurse.Bruins @ Wings : Home opener vs a team on the 2nd of a b2b. Altho it shouldn't be an issue at this stage of the season... who knows.Panthers @ Lightning : Watching for Luongo's trek to 400 wins this season... Starts TONIGHT.Rangers @ Blues : Going for the Rangers... And now i'm picking too many road teams. Bet Blues. Cheer Rangers.Sens @ Preds : Maybe the Sens finish last in the Atlantic. Could you imagine? I don't think I'd be shocked if they did.Hawks @ Stars : Just to slap the Stars hype train out the gates a little here.Jets @ Yotes : Going for the Yotes cuz the Jets are one of FF52's favorite 52 teams.Flames @ Oilers : This should be an entertaining game. If the Oilers win, they will be a lot less desperate on Saturday. If the Flames win.. Oiler nation will be in sheer panic mode when they lose on Saturday to start 0-2... Whereas at least if Flames fan start 0-2, they'll still be 2-0 morally with 30th in their sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'll go again. BJs over Sabres Caps over Habs As I said yesterday the Flyers win their home opener vs Debbies Ducks over Pengies Bruins over Wings Lightning over Panthers Blues over Rags Preds over Sens Hawks over Stars Jets over Coyotes (Jets version 1) Flames over Oilers (taking advantage of the weak centers while getting Draisaitl used to losing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyerfan52 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I'm built to withstand almost anything. Unlike the Orca I don't lie on the ice crying. I get back up, brush off the snow & go at it again. *************************************** Isles over Canes Bruins over Caps Leafs over Pens Flyers over Habs Lightning over Sens Ducks over Wings Panthers over Debbies BJs over Rags Blues over Flames (hate to call it but figure we lose Sat.) Stars over Preds Hawks over Sabres Wild over Avs Kings over Desert Dogs Sharks over Jets Oilers over Orca (but both teams lose as a Sendin & 1 of the Oiler 6 million $ boys are injured) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kulstad Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Blues over Flames (hate to call it but figure we lose Sat.) I fumbled with this one, too, but every SportSelect needs a longshot winner, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyerfan52 Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I fumbled with this one, too, but every SportSelect needs a longshot winner, right? True enough. & I really want you to be right (I'll be rooting for the Flames regardless of the prediction). I just figure after losing to the Rags yesterday the Blues will be snarly.

Sharks are steamrolling.Stars @ Jackets - Stars are struggling... haven't looked into exactly why... If its the D - they continue to struggle, if its the O, they could turn around tonight.Sabres @ Canes - Sabres respond to playing like peeweesAvs @ Leafs - Cuz it would be funny. 2 Corsi-weak teams... someone has to get shots this game.Devils @ Lightning - Devils have offense!Flames @ Preds - Well... you know...Oilers @ Kings - Don't know what i'm thinking on this one. They have to win eventually right? Kings are a 1 line team right now... as expected this early on... carried by the youngens. Maybe their legs get tested a bit here.Man what a tough night to pick em... I will be lucky to get 3 right... I'm taking some risks. Like the Oilers? What? I don't know.

DL44 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Is it too early to be cheering for playoff position?

DL44 Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 Don't worry. The Orca will draft in the top 5. but 43 games ago we were a top 10 team!We will be one again immediately. You guys will have to wait a bit longer to celebrate a Vancouver demise. But good win for he flames tonight. The oil are down 3-zip and I suppose hey could come back... But assuming they don't... My picks tonight: 2/9 Ff52: 6/9 T-d: 7/9 winner winner chicken dinner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travel_dude Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 5-0 for the Kinks in the 2nd. Love reading ON to see the fans going berserk. While fans of NHL teams don't deserve to have a team play like this, some of their fans are just so blind to reality. A good beat down helps them come to terms with reality. I just hope they decide to give someone else a crack at top 3 pick this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
