I never understood the sabre support. there are just too many to jump over to even think of the players. montreal and buffalo seemed doomed to be non playoff teams for a few more years, that's a future prediction.

My thought was that there would be a youth movement this year. That didn't happen with the new management. Instead old free agents filled in the spots in the lineup. Which meant no playoffs.

Here you can pretty much put your crazy 2017-18 prediction that came true and your crazy 2017-18 prediction that did not come true.
For me:
Came true: I thought Ovi would have a really good season and he'd score a top of goals
Didn't come true: I had Arizona in the playoffs squinty smile


you had Boston missing the playoffs too..... that's just plain crazy!!!

What about one you got wrong?
Also, i'm gonna bring back the old rival here and say that as much as the Penguins could win a 3rd straight cup, i think there are better teams, like Tampa.


more like Boston

Everyone who thought Colorado would be contending for a playoff spot raise your hand.

Now put your hands down, you bunch of liars.


Same could be said for those who predicted Vegas would win their Division!!!

Predict I got right
Oilers would miss the playoffs ( I didn’t expect them to be this terrible though)

Prediction got wrong
Boston would be near the bottoms of the Atlantic and be old and slow

I didn't know the rookies were that good honestly. They only one I knew of was McAvoy.

I think most Bruins fans didn't expect the rookies to step up like they did so fast, I know I certainly didn't think they'd be this good this fast.

I'm not even a Bruins fan but I think you guys may win the Cup. Yeah, apart from McAvoy, I didn't hear of many of them.

Ya but we are Bruin fans so we know our prospects. I don't know really anything about Pens or Hab prospects....

But as ON3M4N said, we didn't really believe they would be this good this fast!! Donato is not out of place out there and he's not even in the lineup!!
