During the STL @ DET game on Monday, January 20th, if the entire GDT goes from open to close without a single post regarding "Joe Louis Arena advantage", penalties in the third period, or penalties in general going against the Blues in favor of the Red Wings in a manner that is unfair or in following with some longstanding tradition, I will buy this handsome T.J. Oshie doll and shower it with love and affection and definitely not destroy it the second it arrives. Or if anybody else wants it, I'll just have it sent to them instead.

Also, I will write a short essay (250 words each) celebrating the skills and accomplishments of every goaltender who finishes ahead of Jimmy Howard in SV% this year titled "Goalies More Elite Than James Russell Howard III".

I have some other ones as well:

1) Philly will make the playoffs.
2) New York Islanders will not.
3) Alfredsson + Silfverberg will combine to outscore MacArthur + Ryan
4) Silfverberg individually will have more points than Bobby Ryan
5) Kyle Palmieri will score more than 25 goals.
6) Grabovski will spend the bulk of the year, including playoffs, as the third line center in Washington (based on usage / ice time / points) behind Brooks Laich, Nic Backstrom, or someone else. I'll leave it to Washington fans to determine whether or not this is accurate. Nulled in the case of injuries to Grabovski.
7) Schneider will post a .925 or better save % and start more than 50 games for Jersey.
8) They still won't make the playoffs.
9) Tuuka Rask will win the Vezina.
10) Phil the Thrill will leave Toronto either at or before the trade deadline, or during free agency next summer.
11) Dubnyk will post a .920 or better save % for Edmonton.
12) They still won't make the playoffs.
13) Sami Vatanen will finish top 3 in Calder voting.
14) Milan Michalek and Jason Spezza will combine to play less than 130 games (I know, this one is a real stretch).
15) Drew Doughty will score 20 or more goals.

If 5 or more of these do not come to pass, I'll donate 50$ to St Mary's, a local charity for pregnant teens.

]1) If Bernier's save percentage is better than Reimer's was last year (.924) I will buy six sandwiches at Metro and hand them out to the homeless in downtown Ottawa (maybe video and upload, if I can find a way to do it without offending or identifying anyone). If he does surpass Reimer's save percentage I will simply donate $20 to a charity of PK loving SUBBAN or flakeloaf's choosing.

2) If John Tortorella has a job in Van-city come playoff time, I will snail mail a letter to the Canucks organization written in magic marker with my non-dominant hand telling them why they are the best hockey club in Canada (~250 words).

3) If (when) the Leafs miss the playoffs, I will eat one McDonals bacon cheeseburgers (with nothing but three toppings put forward by the next goon to toxx for anything leafs related [sub]any topping or sauce but relish[/sub]) per point they are out of the playoffs (max 9) in one sitting, then likely proceed to projectile vomit through my nose and feel like poo poo for two days. YouTube vid (including puking if the three toppings are bad enough).

4) If any Leafs wins a major award I will buy a very tight fitting Ottawa shirsey and wear it for a whole weekend in the summer.

Bonus - If three of the four happen (Bernier save%, Torts still in Van, no leafs post season, a major leaf player award) I will pay for Kafka Esq. to assign me whatever awful avatar he should choose and buy him a decent one not praising a bigot.

Shoeonhead22 and I have a $20 charity bet for where the Jackets place in the league at the end of the season.

Bottom 3rd (21-30) then Shoeonhead22 wins and I give $20 to whatever charity he wants. 1-20 and I pick a charity for him.


I'd also be up with doing some kind of charity Toxx bet with a Penguin fan. I think something about Fleruy vs Mason or Emery save % would be fun even though I know I'll probably lose simply because your D is better and ours is old and will die within 20 games. Would rather do charity bet than avatar since I'd probably kill myself if I had to keep a Penguin avatar for the whole offseason or whatever time frame.

Also up for an intra-FAS bet since I'm wearing my Wayne Train shirt today. No idea what that'd be, but could be fun.

I am going to make ten predictions, and the toxx clause will come into effect if less than half of these do not happen.

1. Tay Tay will finish top-5 in points
2. Clarkson will score 15 goals or less
3. Columbus will make the playoffs
4. Victor Hedman will receive at least one vote for the Norris
5. Tavares will score 50 goals
6. Philadelphia will be a bottom-5 team in the league
7. Fowler will rebound and score 30+ points
8. Franson will manage to put up 30+ points
9. Edmonton will continue improving, and will only miss the playoffs by five points (if they make the playoffs, this prediction is still a success)
10. Sidney Crosby will play over 75 games, and manage to replicate similar PPG totals as his previous three seasons, so will score at least 115 points.

All of these are just doubling down on predictions I have made in other threads. I haven't figured out the proper toxx yet. Probably just an avatar change.

For every one of these that doesn't happen, I'll donate $5 to a charity of my choosing. So, it's possible that I donate $50.

If Vanek scores more than Moulson I will simply be happy in the knowledge that a loving backup goalie can run a team better than Paul Holmgren.


Current score is Matty Mo: 2, NYI Austrian player #2: 0, but Vanek has yet to play as an Islander so I think this is timely.

What I mean by the last part is that I will change my avatar whenever I feel like it at some point after JT gets one more goal than the both of them combined, not necessarily in one season's time.

Let's see how this is going.

1. Hall's 8 points in 9 games was a pretty good pace, and then he got injured. He should be back tomorrow, but missing those 6 games may be too much.
2. 0 goals in 5 games. Only 67 games left to go.
3. Too early to tell.
4. Too early to tell.
5. 6 goals in 14 games. Needs to score at a 0.65 GPG pace for the rest of the season now. Not so confident in this.
6. So far, so good.
7. At his current pace, will score 27 points (all assists).
8. At his current pace, will score 49 points (all assists).
9. Haha, gently caress.
10. At his current pace, will score 125 points.

1) Yikes. That said, they're only 6 points out of a playoff spot (assuming 3 teams from the Glen division).
2) Still very much up in the air. This division is awful, but so is their goalie.
3) 13 + 7 (20) vs 8 + 14 (22). The injury to Silf hurts, but this one should be pretty close.
4) Not gonna happen
5) On pace for 18.9. I think this is still doable, but he needs more ice time for it to happen.
6) Center ice time: Backstrom, Laich, Johansson, Grabbo. I think this one will likely end up being the case.
7) Looks like he'll get the 50 games, but not sure he'll get the .925.
8) Probably going to miss. Though, same qualification as for Philly. This is a maybe.
9) Certainly the front runner.
10) Nope.
11) His rough start still has him at .911. This one is doable.
12) Haha yep.
13) Doubt it. He'd need to majorly turn it on.
14) They're on pace to play more, but I think this one still happens.

Alternatively, if David Clarkson reaches a goals total of or over 25, I will take my time and effort to post a player evaluation thread for each goal scored by him. Including any playoff games, should they happen.


If Tyler Bozak succeeds in outscoring noted 3rd line centre Mikhail Grabovski, using my talents and connections, I will produce a ballad with accompanying music video of Leafs Nation's adoration for the centre iceman from Regina, Saskatchewan.


Should all of these toxxes come through; Leafs playoffs, Clarkson >=25 Goals, Bozak > Grabovski. I will purchase a jersey of SAS's choosing and perform a soapbox confession in Dundas Square in downtown Toronto of how I'm a dumbass advanced stats geek that doesn't know a single lick about hockey sense.
This punishment overrides avatar purchase, Clarkson thread, Bozak music video.

David Clarkson has only tallied an assist in 5 games played, nice.
