MORE DRUNKEN PREDICTIONS FROM ZANSTORM
Hey! I'm back for another drunken rant about hockey. I'm feeling a little pissed tonight because I lost a game of poker to a bunch of attention-deficited rookie pieces of crap! So I will spare no one tonight...
Tomorrow is B.C. day, so all of you lucky pilgrims in B.C. don't have to work tomorrow, unless you are a poor union-enslaved worker, or you work in a capitalist industry that fears shutting their doors down for one single day because they might lose out on the almighty dollar! (or both!)
So, what to rant about under the influence...hmmm....ok NO Panthers praising tonight...so how about I make a few bold predictions, even though it isn't October yet!
1. The Flyers will take over the Atlantic division this year because the Devils will lose either Gionta or Gomez. My guess is Gionta! (and Mogilny..and Malakhov) The Devils will cease their domination because the Salary Cap says so!!!
2. The Predators will take over the weak Central Division. And the Red Wings...for the first time in an eon will settle for 2nd. The Preds will finish 3rd in the Western Conference.
3. The Ducks will take over the Pacific division, with the Sharks barely trailing behind them and the Stars finishing 3rd. The Ducks will also take over the Western Conference, finishing 1st overall. The Pacific division isn't really a piece of cake is it?
4. What about the Canucks? That's easy... The Flames will dominate the Northwest Division, and the Oilers will finish second. The Canucks fourth, and they will miss the playoffs. Am I full of shit? No, I'm a realist! They have lost too much on D and up front and haven't done shit to replace the gaps left behind. (Unless you think Chouinard or Pyatt are going to be the second coming of Briere) Nope..uh-uh!! Trading away Naslund for some depth might change my mind!
So let me give my final standings for the East and West at this point of the game...

2. Hurricanes
3. Flyers
4. Sabres

Alright! Now I am going to bed! Let me know if you agree or disagree with my 'much too early' predictions. It's been fun ranting...

I'd hate to think that the same 'liquid influence' that makes the Panthers a playoff team also makes the Ducks top dogs in the West.
It does feel weird that I'm picking the Ducks lower than you are; that's gotta be a first.
I'm a mess in trying to think through rankings. I was going to post on Phoenix and Dallas last night, but the closest thing I could come to that resembled a 'prediction' was that there was a 60% chance that neither of these teams would take the Pacific.
My prediction post might have to involve some 'liquid courage' as well.
Wow, this is not a good commercial for Capt. Morgan's. "Morgan's, making math and reason elusive since the lockout."
I think my brain just exploded looking at that.
Who do the Senators have in goal? Do you really think the duo of Gerber/Emery are going to lead them to an Eastern conference title?
And you are putting the Habs fifth in the east? Forget about the Cap't Morgs... are you on crystal meth? Was the addition of Mike Johnson really enough to make them better than the much-improved Bruins and the not-so-depleted Devils?
You are also putting way too much stock in Edmonton. They are not a better team than they were last year, yet you have them in 8th place If you ask any honest Oiler fan, they will admit 8th place next season would be a complete miracle. If you think the Canucks will be full of AHL'ers, go check out the DOB for half the Oilers roster!
. I just asked my fucking "purple assed baboon" to make some bold predictions
That's not a nice thing to say about her :)
Nuts4Pucks....You're right! That makes no sense does it? So the Canucks will finish 4th in the Northwest! ooo, the horror of it all!
