Checking up.me posted:1. Brodeur plays 40 games 1. He's at 25 at the halfway point. Looks likely to me. 2. Definitely barring major injury, he's almost at 40 already. 3. I still think this is likely. 4. Already at 20. Looks likely. Thanks Greene/Zidlicky. 5. Not looking good right now but they're definitely not out of it and a big stretch could get them right back in the mix. 6. This already came true, as he was waived this past week. Went unclaimed. 7. I think this is going to happen. There's no way Lou keeps Larsson in the AHL while playing Volchenkov. 8. Last year was 15.9%, this year so far it's 17.83%. Looking good. 9. Highly doubt it. 10. Doesn't look good now but again this could easily change. Seems like pretty much every prediction is coming true.

Vigilance posted:Crosby is gonna score 120 or more points and if he doesn't I'll buy an avatar of SAS' choosing and wear it until the start of next season. On pace for 119 points. If he heats up in the second half like he usually does and doesn't die I might be okay. Vigilance posted:hmm well since you're being a sport and all I guess I'll do a similar one: Not too confident in the Habs one since the East is terrible. Flyers is 1-1.

Rene Bork posted:Should the Montreal Canadiens fail to make the playoffs this year, I will pen a letter to Marc Bergevin begging him to get Scott Gomez back, as he was the lynchpin that kept the team together. As of now, the Habs are 3rd in the Flortheast and 4th in the conference. However, they have a bottom 10 Fenwick For%, a bottom 5 Corsi For%, a broken Galchenyuk for the next month or so, and a coach who appears to be going insane. If the reversal of fortune happens like I think it will, then let the mission to save Gomez begin.

Don't misconstrue my meaning, I'm not at all adverse to writing for a shitload of goalies, I knew that was a possibility from the second I made the toxx and the whole reason I made the toxx was so I could make something funny in the offseason that'd hopefully amuse me and others, I just don't think "AHL third stringer type who had to come in when the starter and backup were unavailable for a couple games" is a very funny joke after the first time you tell it.

Using whatever filter the NHL website uses when you search for sv% leaders makes sense. He's only 31st on that list, so really you're only looking at like ~7500 words. e: Mine: 1) Philly will make the playoffs. I think this one will come true 2) New York Islanders will not. also this, but that'll change if they get a goalie 3) Alfredsson + Silfverberg will combine to outscore MacArthur + Ryan no 4) Silfverberg individually will have more points than Bobby Ryan no  5) Kyle Palmieri will score more than 25 goals. gently caress 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. 12th on the team in ice time, I dunno? 7) Schneider will post a .925 or better save % and start more than 50 games for Jersey. nope, though still possible I guess 8) They still won't make the playoffs. Metro division  9) Tuuka Rask will win the Vezina. I think this one is probable, though Price has a shot too 10) Phil the Thrill will leave Toronto either at or before the trade deadline, or during free agency next summer. nope 11) Dubnyk will post a .920 or better save % for Edmonton. hahahaha 12) They still won't make the playoffs. got this one at least 13) Sami Vatanen will finish top 3 in Calder voting. nope 14) Milan Michalek and Jason Spezza will combine to play less than 130 games (I know, this one is a real stretch).I think this one is going to be wrong, shockingly 15) Drew Doughty will score 20 or more goals.nope I better get my money ready, I was wayyyyy off on some of these.

Spezza's only shown up for 2 or 3 games so far this year... As for my own: burf posted:Since I like the idea of multiple predictions, so I'm doing it too. If 5 or more of the following predictions are incorrect, I will get an avatar of SAS' choosing. 1) He's having a good season, but might not finish top 3. 2)  3) 4) Aahahahahahaa 5) Was looking impossible earlier this year, but now it's looking entirely possible. 6) 10 points back. This one ain't happening. drat you, Pavalec. 7) He had such a good rookie season 8) Pending! 9) Hall's up to 42-in-41 after a really weak start to the year. Tavares is at 56 in 46. Probably unlikely that Hall catches up, but I still have hope. I should've said "outscore Tavares' PPG from last year", since the point I was going for was that Hall's outscored Tavares in every year of their respective careers, but gets none of the same respect that Tavares gets. 10) Anaheim's already got 73 points, so this one definitely ain't happening. By my count, 4 of these are already wrong at the halfway point of the season.

After the season started and loving the guy to death, I'd come up with a Vinny Prospal Toxx. When it looked like he wasn't going to wind up anywhere as the season progressed, I decided not to post it. For the hell of it given his retirement today: Should Vinny Prospal sign with an NHL team in 2013-14, I will not post any negative, non-constructive comments about the team with which he signs or any player, coach, or GM associated with that team. Failure to comply results in me assuming an avatar of that team's AS' choice.The fun of this would've been biting my tongue had he signed with a team I didn't like or player I wasn't a fan of (i.e. LA and gently caress Jeff Carter).
