I heard Eklund subscribed to an "equal chance" program.

I see the new people have already begun! Good stuff!

I heard it was a "second chance" program for those who have been convicted of Hockeybuzz crimes, and have served their time.

RichardPeterNuss and Beatle John will be getting their own columns.

And don't forget to fill out your own predictions, Dozzie!
- Atomic Wedgie

I’ll be sure to do that

Now you’ve done it... you drew me out of the woodwork

I’ll lock it for you at game time. No problem, cheers.

He’s back.......

Of course.

But there's no such thing as certainty in sports.

Best example, who here imagined Yandle being a healthy scratch for Florida?

This is gonna hurt my fantasy team like a female dog.

- Scabeh

Oh for sure, its why you play the games...plenty of factors.

Matthews is going to go god mode this year...I am predicting a massive breakout year for him.

I dont care if Marner is saying he is in great shape, Matthews has some science behind his offseason to back up the "best shape of his life".

He is going to be much quicker out there with losing 15 pounds of body fat.
- Santo_44

I agree. I see Matthews going insane this season.

I read that article on Matthews. Love it.

Because everything always goes according to plan eh?
- Scabeh

Yes...

That's why the Leafs haven't won in over 53 years... The plan all along was to be nice to the rest of the league

He’s back.......

there will be casualties

Matthews is scoring 45 goals this year.

I think the Oilers will only go as far as Smith/Koskinen take them.. I don't think they have very good goaltending.
- PatC80

I don't like their goaltending either. I absolutely hate Smith. Koskinen was still significantly better than Andersen last year. At least in terms of GSAA. Certainly the year before Andersen was WAY better than Koskinen. If Andersen rebounds (and I think he will with a less porous defense), that will help. And of course Koskinen will have Barrie in front of him this year, so that's . . . bad.

dude?

This isn't the Flyers forum.. We're a peaceful bunch..

Barrie will improve the opposition's 5 on 5 numbers.

This makes me sound like a terminator

- 21peter

I’m sure I’ll end up wishing I was one of them lol

I'm expecting this from Matthews tonight

- 21peter

Hope so. I'm facing my brother for the first week matchup, so it'd be great for me.

This makes me sound like a terminator
- Dozzer

there's no need to flex your muscles, man

No kidding

Barrie will improve the opposition's 5 on 5 numbers.

Oh I won’t... I probably just end up hurting myself

Barrie will improve the opposition's 5 on 5 numbers.
- PatC80

That's another dude I just can't see being worse than last year..... Especially on the powerplay in Edmonton.

I got Matthews and Marner in one and Marner and Muzzin in my other league
- PatC80

Just realised I also got Bill Ny in the same league I got Matthews.

there will be casualties

Hopefully

I was thinking more along the lines of Eminem. 😎

- GreatGigInTheSky

Willy was ranked 119th in my league lol..

I think he went 7th round. (16 participants.)

That's another dude I just can't see being worse than last year..... Especially on the powerplay in Edmonton.
- Scabeh

Why, can't he turn the puck over in Edmonton ?? Botch his defensive assignments?
