von Rantala Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 Carolina Hurricans Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 5,5 (7) Defencive Rating 6,5 (7) Goalie Rating 7 (7) Total points 19 (21) MVP of midseason Cam Ward Three MVP Finalist Justin Faulk Eric Staal Riley Nash Biggest Surprise Cam Ward Biggest underachiever Alexander Semin Best goalie Cam Ward Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits - Miss Many things what i predict goeas wrong, like goalie situation, standing, offencive number drop a lot now, when they are 29 in goals in league. So that was biggest miss, i gave number 7 before season started. Chicago Blackhawks Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 10 (10) Defencive Rating 9,5 10 Goalie Rating 8,5 (8) Total points (28) 28 MVP of midseason Patrick Kane Three MVP Finalist Jonathan Toews Duncan Keith Kris Versteeg Biggest Surprise Kris Versteeg Biggest underachiever Not easy to pic when everyone played well but it is Johnny Odya Best goalie Corey Crawford Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits Offencive have been good as i waited, Chicago is not top 3 in goals but they have couple league best two way player (Toews, Hossa) and good third and fourth line and that why they still get 10. Frank J. Selke prediction (Toews) looking good. Miss Crawford have been better as i waited, CHI trade Leddy what drop over number to 9,5. Versteeg surprised me. Regin didnt take spot in roster. Colorado Avalanche Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 7,5 (8,5) Defencive Rating 7 (7) Goalie Rating 8,5 (9) Total points 23 (24,5) MVP of midseason Alex Tanguay Three MVP Finalist Jarome Iginla Tyson Barrie Erik Johnson Biggest Surprise Calvin Pickard Biggest underachiever Ryan O'Reilly Best goalie Calvin Pickard Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits Offecive Line ups Reto Berra third goalie spot Defencive raiting Danny Briere role Miss A lot misses again, MacKinnon, i wait he can make 100 point but i was wrong, but he is not underachiever because he play second season, Aittokallio was mistake too, he is third goalie in AHL at the moment. Btw its should not be possible that team oldest players lead in scores (in this team) and Pickard have been more regular and Varlamov have been irregular.

von Rantala Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 YEAAH We finally got new goalie. Ofcourse i was little bit disappointent to hear who he was, as you know i love watch goalies and they stats and how they play in goal, Dubnyk was ok in Edmonton, sometimes he played well and sometimes poorly, he was irregular in Edmonton, but you cant put all to his fault, team was poor, so in the end i will give him chance to win my heart, so i will take him in the my hockey fantasy team and trade Harding to him, i want keep Bäckström in third spot and Rämö to number one spot and now when i get Dubnyk my goalies will get full season. Ofcourse i was hoping that we take my favorite goalie and thats why i was so sad when he injured (Rämö) but i will give Dubnyk chance even that i havent keep him in high in the goalie ranking i know that he is still promising goalie and absolutely better choise to goal than Bäckström or Kuemper, i was surprised that Phoenix trade him so low price, when he have been a lot better than Smith. Plus this is frist time in Dubnyk (NHL)career when he play in team what is playoff canditate. Just read that Dubnyk start in goal tonight, his first chance to win my heart. When i love to some goalie i love him in the end of his career. So lets see how long it take if or when he win my heart. Thank you Fletcher to even try something. Now if we lose kick Yeo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryzgalov did well last year so maybe Dubnyk will too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

von Rantala Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 What away to end losing streak 7-0 (dont open spoiler if you dont want see how much we beat Buffalo) Ofcourse i know we just won worst team in NHL and Buffalo didnt even get out from they defencive zone, but still after two week, win feel so good. Now we MUST build in this victory we just cant go to locker room and think we just won worst team in NHL thats nothing. Dubnyk played well but its too earlie to say anything, its take at least 10 game to say anything, when i see him in Edmonton jersey agaist Wild, he doesn't was hero on those games, so let see, but he is big and fast goalie and as you say Meow we never cant know, he never be in Good team in his NHL career. Dumba make me big impression, in past i didnt like his style or him so much when he make so many mistakes and losing puck so often, i wasn't see his talent before, but now after AHL visit he was like different man, maybe Yeo make mistake and put him in NHL roster too earlie, but i like he was playing and how he drop his gloves and i like his style in interview too, lets see maybe you can find him in my Fantasy team too in someday. Ofcourse it was just one game, so let see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know what idea was to not take new coatch rightway, those internship coatch just not work in lvl of NHL. NJ, Edmonton and Toronto still keep losing games, even more than in old coatch system, in Edmonton case big mistake was to kick out Ralph Krueger, he had best stats in Emdomton coatch in last years, and Dallas Eakins was so wrong choise to keep so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L3ftY. Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I agree Rantala, coaching changes sometimes don't make a bit of difference, or in the Laffs case, it actually becomes worse. Eakins did fairly well in the AHL, and was an assistant to the Laffs for 2 years prior. it only seemed logical for him to coach an NHL team as his last 2 years coaching the Marlies were very successful. As for coaching the Oilers....it was a nightmare and still is even without him.

von Rantala Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Wild All-Star break started. Four things what we need to do better or change to get chance to playoffs 1. Take new coatch, yes in last four games we get 2-1-1 but in every season what Yeo have been our coatch we go long losing streaks, and we cant be regular team, i have feeling that with Yeo we cant win Cup, but hopefully im wrong, i like something what he do, but he still do big mistakes, example he sometimes put fourth line in ice if we are two goal behind and only 2 min left and not take goalie out, and in last game Parise play long shift and he put Parise to shoot first in shootout, when good coatch would give him chance to rest and put him shoot second or third. 2. New Offencive Defender, I never liked Suter so much, yes he is good two-way defender, better in own side than in offencive side, we need one defender in first powerplay who can make points and give good assist, lately Sutter made a lot mistakes in offencive and defencive sides. 3. New Center, Granlund will be always better in winger than in Center and we should get new second line center in our roster, Koivu start was poor, but last 25 game he played point per game, and have been number one center again, Yeo gave Granlund that number one center role in start of season, but Granlund have been major underachiever, but he still can be point per game player in winger spot. 4. We still need new goalie, because we cant take risk with Dubnyk, yes he can surprise and play great second half of season, but why not to trade new goalie to roster and give Dubnyk and new goalie share work load and better play in playoffs.

von Rantala Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Columbus Blue Jackets Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 6,5 (7) Defencive Rating 7 (7) Goalie Rating 8 (8,5) Total points 21,5 (22,5) MVP of midseason Nick Foligno Three MVP Finalist Ryan Johansen James Wisniewski Sergei Bobrovsky Biggest Surprise Nick Foligno Biggest underachiever Cam Atkinson Best goalie Sergei Bobrovsky Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits I predict them out side of playoffs I predict lines well, example Wennberg is in roster Miss Foligno have been surprised me and take spot in first line, and Atkinson and Calver havent play as well as i wait. Dallas Stars Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 8,5 (7,5) Defencive Rating 5,5 (5,5) Goalie Rating 6,5 (9) Total points 20,5 (22) MVP of midseason Tyler Seguin Three MVP Finalist Jamie Benn Jason Spezza Alex Goligoski Biggest Surprise John Klingberg Biggest underachiever Kari Lehtonen Best goalie Kari Lehtonen Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits I predict that Dallas weak point is Defencive group as it have been whole season, they allow too much goals, but its very young and talented group. I predict that they end in 18 spot and they are 19 now Miss Kari Lehtonen played well under his skills, but if you look other goalies stats they save% are ,875 and .841 so you can say that Lehtonen have been played poorly, but still he is biggest underachiever of team, but i wait better second half from him. But goalie number drop a lot, so it was big mistake from my prediction. Detroit Red Wings Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 9 (8) Defencive Rating 7 (6,5) Goalie Rating 8,5 (8,5) Total points 24,5 (23) MVP of midseason Pavel Datsyuk Three MVP Finalist Henrik Zetterberg Tomas Tatar Jimmy Howard Biggest Surprise Justin Abdelkader Biggest underachiever Brendan Smith Best goalie Jimmy Howard Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits Predict right how talent offencive group Detroit has, i think most have been surprised how well Detroit played, but for me it havent been surprise, i guess that talent what they have can buy them a lot good this year as it did. I didnt put Babchok in my earlie prediction in Jack Adams but i always think he is best coatch in NHL with CHI, LAK and NSH coatches. I guess right that in defencive way they defencive group is very good, but they still need offencive defender in group, without that they cant go long in playoffs Miss Leftwingers have been better as i wait They are much higher than i predict, now 5 and in my earlie season prediction 13. Edmonton Oilers Ratings new rating, old rating (from season prediction) Offencive Rating 7 (8) Defencive Rating 5 (6,5) Goalie Rating 5 (6) Total points 17 (20,5) MVP of midseason Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Three MVP Finalist Taylor Hall Jordan Eberle Benoit Pouliot Biggest Surprise Coach change take so long and internship coatch choise was surprise too Biggest underachiever Nail Yakupov Second poor season going from 2012 draft 1 pick. Best goalie Ben Scrivens Miss and hits from my offseason prediction Hits Defencive group problems Goalies situation Miss I predict that first line players (Hall-Nugent Hopkins- Eberle) can make point per game. I predict that they will play better season (24 in my first prediction) I continue doing my predictions in weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
