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.

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.

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.

 

 

I continue updates in friday

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.

lol I don't think Dubnyk will be a savior but who knows. Bryzgalov did well last year so maybe Dubnyk will too.

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.

or maybe we just need more fans like the Blue Jackets fan above

Yeah now everyone can see that it was not Carlyle fault that team cant win enough games, daam team was in Playoff spot when Carlyle was kicked out and now they are 7 point way from playoff line. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
