Take that, Kreskin!

Wow. Shaky’s post is quite impressive. Although I have not done as much research into season two of the new NHL, I will nevertheless steal his template and give you my predictions.

I know that, technically, the season has already started, but since it’s only a few hours old, I don’t have any information that my fellow bloggers didn’t…well, except for the fact that I know that the Pittsburgh Penguins have been sold to the guy from Kitchener-Waterloo who keeps giving everybody RIM jobs.
