Fun!
Sportsnet's Stanley Cup winners:
Team most likely to disappoint (aka more proof that Mark Spector is a hilarious idiot of a troll):

Maybe it'll be one of those public execution type things.

In that particular article, the writer qualifies these as his most 'bold' and acknowledges that they're almost assuredly going to be wrong.
To be fair, like most "bold predictions" the column is just random guesses about unlikely things they don't think will actually happen.

I read the article to confirm and feel as bamboozled as expected for clicking Sportsnet's clickbait :'(

Patrick Roy is making his way to Vancouver as we speak.
That GM needs to be fired.
I like this. This means my prediction of Vegas winning a playoff series before the Jets win a playoff game has a decent percentage still.
Jets fans can be legitimately disappointed. I really thought they had the core players to make the playoffs. They just lack the depth, especially defensively. A full healthy year from Trouba would have helped but there still would have been a problem keeping the puck out of the net. Not an easy problem to fix, but there's still that core to build around.

That's a good sign.
He may also be salty at Draisaitl costing him a 2 mill bonus on the last day of the season lol. You know that has to sting for a guy his age on an ELC. Hell that would probably sting for a guy who's already made tens of millions.
Yup, only way this season ends is with a Duchene trade and the 4th pick.

If only Lando had this attitude. Instead he seems complacent most of the time.

that hit on Laine was dirty as fuck and totally wrong, he would've have easily beaten Matthews in goals and be a lock for Calder if not for that crime.
Meh, nobody gives a shit about awards a day after they're given out.
Also I need you alert and focused on the here and now - I've started watching Bordertown on Netflix and I may have some questions for you.
First of all, does everyone call this guy Finnish Jake Gyllenhaal? Because they probably should.

Thank fuck Sutter and Lombardi are gone from LA. There should be an award for winning a Cup with ancient hockey.
Go aw.....

Not sure if posted, but all new Adidas jerseys might be unveiled during the draft in June for each team.
Minnesota specifically might be wearing something similar to their Stadium Series jersey, which isn't a bad place to start a design. I'd lose the collar on the Stadium Series jersey and swap it for something similar to the current v-neck template that most teams have. But if the World Cup jerseys are to go by, this might be the standard.

Avalanche players spotted in their natural environment.
New jerseys. Hopefully the apron stripes fuck off now and forever.
