Thread: Who gets 100 points this year?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Brian2016</b></div><div>I'm gonna say 5 players reach at least 100 points. Crazy, but all 5 come from just 2 teams.

McDavid and Draisaitl will both surpass 100 points, especially if EDM improves as a team from last season. They're the best 1-2 combo I've ever seen in my lifetime as a hockey fan. Also, their PP could be top 5 in the league this season. Tampa's offense is ridiculously lethal. I think all 3 of their big guns get there. Otherwise, I think we'll see a bunch of mid 90's.

1. McDavid 115+
2. Draisaitl 105+
3. Kucherov is 115+
4. Stamkos 105+
5. Point 100+</div></div>

I think Draisaitl gets somewhere in the high 70s or low 80s when it comes to points. If he plays with McDavid all year he's more likely to get 100.

Thread: NHL Challenges
I didn't like the coach's challenge when it was added, but it's grown on me a lot. It's good because it doesn't mean review after review after review, but teams have the option to challenge a call that they think was the wrong call. I like the penalty rule (vs. the timeout rule) because it's a bigger risk if you challenge, and it should lead to less challenges and teams only challenging if they're really confident it'll get changed, but they can still challenge unlimited times if they really need to.

I agree that we need to understand what is goalie interference and what isn't ... i like the change that they made where the situation room gets the decision because it should lead to more consistency and IMO it has so far, at least a bit. Offside had been debated on what the rules should be, but Gary Bettman once said something that i totally agree with. He said goalie interference is a debate because nobody really knows what is and what isn't goalie interference. But he said offside is really about whether you like the rule or not. That can be a debate but the offside calls are pretty consistent. Sure, maybe the offside rules should be different, but at least they're easy to understand and we know what is offside and what isn't.
