Guest August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 (edited) Hey everypony, I didn't see a thread for the upcoming season so I thought I'd start one up. What are your predictions for the league or for your team? I would love to get to know some hockey bronies here Edited August 14, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 Hockey is the only sport that I would actually watch. It's just a fun, fast paced sport. Also for best team, Go Blackhawks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frostgage 7,981 August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 (edited) I expect the Bruins to be strong as usual. Hopefully we can bring home another Stanley Cup.

Ashen Pathfinder 16,164 August 14, 2014 Share August 14, 2014 I honestly have no idea. With both Shero and Bylsma gone, the Penguins have been in a state of flux during the offseason. I just hope they can at least make it to the playoffs, though I am concerned...

I just hope they can at least make it to the playoffs, though I am concerned... If they can't make playoffs with that roster I'll be dissappointed. As far as my Oilers I would like to see some bigger improvement last season haven't been that good. Rarity Fan Club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 (edited) Personally I'm just hoping Rinne returns to 2011-12 form to give Nashville a fighting chance, hopefully he's fully healed after the drama of last year, I don't want to see him with any further complications. I also like to keep an eye on the Arizona Coyotes and hopefully both will be contending for the playoffs this year Edited August 23, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure hoping so Laviolette will hopefully get the offensive gears going too. I sure would like to see the Oilers have a decent season (as I'm sure you would too ), combining Nashville's defence with Edmonton's offence would be one great team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,884 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Again ... how I keep missing topics like these is beyond me. Ok, I'm a Flyers fan and I normally go into a season with crazy ass high hopes. This season ... man. That Umberger trade took the wind out of my sails a little. Our Cap is freaking dangerous as it was and I loved Hartnell. Sigh. The good news is that our young Fowards are going to continue to provide strong lines. Laughton has some talent so I'll be watching him very closely. The really bad news ... White and Timonen. Get better soon guys. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From a Pens fan to a Flyers fan, I wish your team good luck this season. You all had a rough season last time out, so I hope to see your fortunes improves. Just not at the expense of the Pens...who have plenty of questions to answer themselves; admittedly. >_< 2 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostfacekiller39 23,879 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Montreal is going to win it all and take home the Cup while Toronto finishes last in the division.

~Chaos~ 3,971 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 Any Canuck fans in here? They had a horrible season last year, brought in Miller now for an extra push in goal to help Lack develop more. I think he has a bright future ahead of him. I just can't even predict what will happen, at least they have changed the coach, GM, and all that, so hopefully they regain some dignity. I want to see the cup back in Canada, been too long. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would have been a lot of changes, based on how many changes happened in the NHL. Ehrhoff, Downie, Hornqvist, Spaling, Comeau and Greiss aren't equal to what we lost, but there are guys in the minors that have seen time, and are easily ready to come up. Guys like Bortuzzo and Kapanen could easily make up for it, as well as Dupuis accelerated time table Pens and Kings in Stanley Cup, Pens win it in 7 in an OT game. Calling it now. 2 "I'd rather trust and regret, than doubt and regret." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Penguins were a good regular season team under Bylsma, but tended to collapse eventually in the playoffs. To be fair I kind a lost track of all the movements that happened in the team; considering the soccer season and everything else going on. But yeah, we lost some talent, but what we really need is chemistry. If the team has that I believe we'll be fine. 1 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Overdrive 5,366 August 31, 2014 Share August 31, 2014 You've still got Sid, Geno, Kunitz, Letang, Duper, Bennett, Martin, Scuderi (why?), Adams, Goc, Zatkoff, Vokoun, Bortuzzo, Megna and Sutter. Hornqvist and Bennett will play 2nd line with Geno. Spaling, Sutter and Comeau will play 3rd line. Adams, Goc and Downie will be 4th. Bortuzzo plays EXACTLY like Orpik, so he'll probably be with Martin. Letang and Maatta wil be a pair, and Ehrhoff and Scuderi will be the 3rd pair. Fleury will be starter, and Zatkoff will get backup again. That's how I see it. 1 "I'd rather trust and regret, than doubt and regret." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're actually building the team around Sid and Geno. They'll have chemistry. 1 "I'd rather trust and regret, than doubt and regret." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be mistaken, but it seemed like he tended to lose confidence at key points of the season. 1 Pathfinder I Sojourner I Corsair | Zu'hra I Autumn | Scarlet Willow | Gypsy | Silverthorn | Crystal Whisper | Radiant Historia | And many other OCs~ Matching signatures with mah Bestie MOONLIGHT <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
