Who Will Win the Pacific Division in 2017?
7.Vancouver So both head coach Willie Desjardins and general manager Jim Benning expect the Canucks to make the playoffs this season. Unfortunately for them, they should be about a good 10-20 points off their prediction and both could lose their jobs by April. Simply put, the team just can’t get out of the way of […]
Who Will Win the Atlantic Division in 2017?
8. Ottawa Let’s start previewing the Ottawa Senators with this not-so-big-deal tweet. The amount of unsold Senators home opener tickets for tonight is hilarious. What a joke of a franchise lmao pic.twitter.com/rQJS4wZg5H — Sara (@EssieKatelyn) October 12, 2016 Good job, good effort Eugene Melnyk! Also, remember when he made that massive rant stating that no […]
Who Will Win the Metropolitan Division in 2017?
7. Columbus John Tortorella. Good night everyone. But in all seriousness, Columbus has some genuine talent on paper. All will depend, though, on how the likes of Oliver Bjorkstrand and Alexander Wennberg can step up and develop as top nine forwards this season. First round pick Pierre Luc-Dubois also made the opening night roster, but […]
Can San Jose Exercise Demons or Can Pittsburgh Claim Another Cup?
So here we are! After almost eight months of regular season and playoff hockey, we have made it to a Stanley Cup Final that not many people have predicted from the beginning. For San Jose, they came into last October with a new head coach and their best players on the wrong side of 30 […]
2016 Conference Finals Preview
With last Friday beginning the Conference finals, you would think that the four best teams in the NHL are left in the postseason. If you are basing it off of the regular season standings, you are wrong because there is not a single division leader left. If you are looking at puck possession numbers, you’re […]
2016 Western Conference Semifinals Preview
Dallas vs. St. Louis This, my friends, is going to be a good one! At the end of the day, this is the Western Conference finals, because the remains of the Pacific Division are quite terrible once you strip Anaheim and Los Angeles out of the equation. The Stars were clearly the best team in […]
2016 Eastern Conference Semifinals Preview
New York Islanders vs. Tampa Bay Way for me to give a lot of discredit to the Islanders in my first round preview from a couple weeks ago! I knew their series against the Panthers would be a tight series, but I was not sure how well Thomas Greiss would be against a much more […]
2016 Stanley Cup Conference Quarterfinals Preview
So after a busy work and blogging week, I finally have my playoff previews ready to share to the world. I would like to note that all opinions on all playoff series that started on Wednesday were written before their respective game ones. In other words, yes, the Rangers-Penguins preview was written before Henrik Lundqvist […]
Joshua, Wilder and Parker: Making Heavyweight Boxing Great Again
For some that have followed boxing for a long time, they will agree that it has been a long time since a heavyweight boxer has transcended the sport. Since the retirement of Lennox Lewis, the Klitschko brothers monopolized the division and have held the reigns for almost 12 years. Whether it is because of their […]
Week 24 of The Nerdy 30: The Foggy Five
With less than two weeks of regular season hockey to go, it will be safe to say that 13 NHL teams should clinch their playoff berths with some form of comfort. As for the remaining playoff spots, that is a different story. Just more than a week ago, eighth and ninth place in each conference […]
