“Whoa!!! We’re half-way there!!!”
And the Sharks, Canucks, Bruins, and Lightning are all livin’ on a prayer. The four teams are eight short wins away from hoisting the Cup in a few weeks. All four possibilities for the finals are very interesting. After all, we could have a chance for Vancouver to avenge Calgary’s loss from seven years ago, Thornton vs. the Bruins, an EA Sports Simulated Vancouver-Boston finals, or the first all Sun Belt showdown. But before we get there, we’ve got some interesting hockey to witness.

This year is a mere 10 days old, but already a great deal has happened, from the Collapse of the Canadian Juniors, a Wild Wildcard Weekend, fears of an election in Canada, a referendum to change the map, and of course an assassination attempt.
What else will this year bring? Well allow me to check my Crystal Ball…

Way back in January, I have made the habit of trying to make a few predictions for the year. In the past three years of blogging I have finished 9-2-2, 9-4-1, and 7-4-1, giving me a guide respectable 25-10-4 record. Did I build on it this year or has my Nostroglenus effect worn off?

Well it’s time to go to the left side, where things are always interesting. Last year this team had the two biggest surprises (Colorado and Phoenix), the biggest bust (Calgary), the biggest playoff collapse (San Jose, but really, what else is new?), and the Stanley Cup Champion. Now this year, the champs have been retooled, last years surprises look to prove themselves, and of course the Red Wings look to reclaim their spot as top dog. Add in the fact that the San Jose Sharks are sure to collapse in a new and exciting way, and we’ve got ourselves a very interesting few months ahead in the West.
And it should go something like this…

It’s the most wonderful time of the year ladies and gentlemen!!! That’s right, the NHL season is just underway! I’ve been like a kid in some kind of a store recently, getting so incredibly excited. In the coming days I’ll be posting my predictions for the season, starting today with a look at the major NHL awards. This is mostly so I can look back months later and claim to be right in the unlikely event that I’m right (note: if following that link, only look at who the Eastern Conference Champion is predicted to be, nothing else).
So if I’ve linked back to this in the future, then congratulate me on being right, if there are no incoming links to this, then never speak of this again.

So I was going to write a post about my New Year’s Resolutions for the upcoming school year. I looked back at ones that I made last year at around this time and I was shocked, and well I probably shouldn’t have been.
Increased Focus on Teaching, Cook More, Weigh Less, Learn More Chinese, Write More. My plan for today was to include four of those here today, thinking it was new and fresh. I would like to think that I succeeded nicely at the first one as I was able to put more focus on my career this year, and I’m proud of that.

Why are we so obsessed with the end of days? The apocalyptic movie 2012 was a major box office success. It seems that everywhere you look there is someone spouting off about how Global Warming, Nuclear War, Sunbursts, or who knows what else is going to doom us for all of eternity.
While flicking through the various stations yesterday, I cam across a show on the History Network called “The Nostradamus Effect”. Out of morbid curiosity I decided to stop there. Needless to say, I shouldn’t have done that.

For all of the talk and rumours going around about big name trades this off-season, there really hasn’t been that much. Sure Nathan Horton, Jaroslav Halak, and Jason Arnott were traded, but after that there hasn’t really been all that much to be honest. I think that in the coming days this will change. The key figure holding everything up right now is Ilya Kovalchuk. The Kings and Devils are actively pursuing him, with rumblings of the Islanders, Flyers, and Rangers having interest. After he gets signed, I think that a number of dominoes will start falling and some potentially big names will be on the move.
Let’s have a look at the big names that are in all of the rumours…

Welcome back to our Predictacular, just when we thought things couldn’t be any crazier after the first round, things get even crazier. The 8th seed Habs rock the defending Stanley Cup Champion, the fourth 3-0 comeback in North American Professional Sports takes place, the Sharks find a way to not choke, and the Hawks rally from losing 5-1 at home. These are a host of things that would have been difficult to predict, but we’ll try our best here…

Welcome back one and all to the 2nd round of the third annual three man and a coin playoff predictions. It’s been a wild one, with some ups-downs, thrills and chills. And we aren’t even half way done.
So after a crazy first round, the score is as follows:
