“staying healthy will be a key”
I can see a scenario where they finish 4th or 5th and miss the playoffs.
I can see a scenario where they finish 4th and get to at least the WCF.
If they get in, the best chance of beating them is “Goalie Interference” not the opposing teams!
Jim Poulos
That’s quite the list of predictions. I can see many of them coming true. Are you going to keep a running tally of these goals; post them on X and/or website?
Ken Boehlke
For the sake of my sanity (and what is sure to be a terrible record) I am definitely not going to keep an updated tally.

cup clincher on nhl network right now never gets old.
Larry
Predicated on health of he and his linemates Eichel will be a 40/100 man… barbashev will be a 4th line winger 20 games or less into the season…Logan will be the clear cut number 1 also 20 games into the season…..there is no way brisson or comtois will achieve those numbers as predicted by Ken ….games begin tonight… the long slog of the regular season… I can’t wait to see the boys revel in the ceremonies and then watch Jack supersonically take the game over tonight!!

Opening Knight! Banner raising! Ohhhhhh baby, let’s GO!
DOC

We may have some ups and downs along the way, but believe in the guys and I don’t think they will disappoint!
Be good to each other and enjoy. Bless you all.
