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. Erik Karlsson will finish in the top 3 for Norris voting.
2. Bobby Ryan will score at least 35 goals.
3. Clarke MacArthur will outscore David Clarkson.
4. Spezza will finish top-10 in scoring.
5. Ottawa will finish ahead of Detroit.
6. Winnipeg will finish 4th or higher in the Central division.
7. Yakupov will score at least 30 goals.
8. Canada will not make the 2014 Olympic men's hockey finals.
9. Taylor Hall will outscore John Tavares (gonna hedge this bet by saying in points-per-game, not total points).
10. Toronto and Anaheim will miss the playoffs.

If any of those seem too easy, let me know and I can swap the offending prediction to something else.

e: Removed 11th prediction, changed it to 5 or more wrong

1. Seems likely
2. Seems likely
3. Seems likely
4. Ehhh maybe, but he really needs to pick up the other parts of his game.
5. Haha
6. Ahahahahaha
7. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
8. No clue yet!
9. :xd:
10. :xd: :xd: - On the other hand, at least Anaheim has the underlying stats to back up their position. Toronto is still a befuddling mess of winning hockey games.
11. There's no way this doesn't happen.

1. Probably safe on this one. He hasn't been great, but he's leading all D-men in goals and points, and is 2nd in assists and TOI/game.
2. Bobby :q:
3. Clarke :q:
4. I really thought higher of Spezza before the season started. Ugh.
5. I really thought higher of Ottawa before the season started. Ugh.
6. Hahahahahaha
7. Ahahahahahaha
8. Still up in the air!
9. May have been a bit optimistic on this one
10. Anaheim is a completely different team than last year and their underlying numbers are really good (especially compared to last year's shitshow). On the other hand, Toronto has the worst possession numbers since they became a thing, and I really don't see their luck holding up through 82 games. I don't think there's any way Anaheim misses the playoffs.

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

I dunno, you might be safe on this one. Spezza's only shown up for 2 or 3 games so far this year...

As for my own:

1) He's having a good season, but might not finish top 3.
2) :cool:
3) :cool:
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.

9) Nope

Yeeeeah I lost this one.

I'm likely going to be turning this into an avatar if it's acceptable to SAS:



Alternatively, if anyone has any other ideas, I'm all ears.

I only got one right. Have at me, SAS :(

e: I thought I was being sneaky with the Hall prediction but nope, he managed to play the full season while Tavares went out halfway through while riding a high PPG

(I only got one of my 10 predictions correct)


So I still need an avatar to complete my toxx. I have no idea what to get.

I'm thinking something that incorporates this:



Or this:



Or this:



Or, something flashing between these two: (except I lack avatar making skills)

and

But I'm open to any suggestions!
