Also added the 4 teams that finished last last year as the division winners for the 0 pointer team, Colorado as the cup winners as they probably have the worst odds of winning it and Chicago to miss the playoffs as they seem to have had the best start and I didn't want to pick Pittsburgh as that was Clays pick. Also considering Colorado is the cup winner I have said Vegas will finished below Colorado.

3-1 first 4 games Avs are giving me hope which is worrying me as I don't want to be let down like last year.

Last season we started 3-1. 4-3 after October then went on to 5-8-1 in November (Total 9-11-1) which still wasn't panic time then just forgot to show up in December and went 3-12-0 and at that point we were 12-23-1 and royally screwed.

Hoping we can atleast do much better than that. Yakupov looks to be doing good even though I haven't watched any games.

About time the Golden Knights lost. Did anyone else see the horrible pregame show at center ice with an armored knight defeating a robed man with a red wings flag?

Also worth noting that the arena was as least 1/4 Detroit fans. I know they travel well, but still. Prime example of what most of their home games will be like, and kind of sad that more local fans werent there for the second home game. Cameras found fans both old and young that seemed absolutely devostated by the loss. Almost like they thought the Knights were going undefeated this year.

Speaking of low attendance, after a sold out area at Carolina’s home opener against the Wild (which Canes won in a shootout mind you,) the announced attendance at the very next home game was 7,800 people.

Not surprised.

EDIT: And about time the 0 pointers start racking up points... from Detroit!

Updated stats. Kreegs a big cheater and is still winning. /s

Classic cheater! I can't even root for my low-depth guys to start producing, because Kreegs and I both have Nino holding us back.

No cheating! I didnt look at any stats or watch any games before I picked.

LOL at Washington missing the playoffs and Chicago in the WC2 spot (at the time of this post).

Heck even Toronto is 3rd now. Oh well, at least Montreal beat NYR in regulation!

Duchene to Ottawa!

Turris to Nashville!

Huge moves! Great signings for both teams. Good news for Colorado, too, as they got a few building blocks and released themselves from a little media glare.

Lol this is awkward.

About a week ago I started watching Boston as they were my original team back in 2010 as I had an online friend from MA. I stopped watching hockey as I didn't have Gamecentre then when I went to follow a team I was told Boston was the rebel big tough fighty team which didn't interest me at the time so I naturally decided to give them another go. They're super fun to watch as I really love their grindy style of hockey. Can't believe they won last night against Minnesota.

Anyway with Duchene moved I literally have very little ties to Colorado anymore. Duchene, Stastny and Oreilly being the players I enjoyed watching on the team. Kind of awkward that Duchene moves to a Boston Rival team.

I think Colorado got a really great deal but it makes me feel like they've kind of just given up for the year by not getting back anything that can help them now. In 5 years time they'll be laughing and fantastic but with the core I loved gone I feel no connection to the team anymore. Going to be weird cheering for Boston and Ottawa haha. I really do wish Duchene the best he was easily by far my favorite player on the team hence why I got a Duchene Jersey.

Also anyone else been following Bostons injury bug it's insane. Backes, Marchand, Krejci, Spooner, Khudobin (Backup Goalie), McQuaid and Acciari all injured right now. It's pretty much. Rask, Chara, Bergy and Pasta + the Provinces Bruins right now.
