Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

And so it ends…

In 30 short minutes the puck will drop in Vancouver, and what is surely to be a finals for the ages will begin. I’m simply too excited to write any sort of an introduction, let’s get this started!!!

2nd Round Playoff Predictions

Thursday, April 28th, 2011

After one of the most memorable and interesting 1st rounds in recent memory, we are now ready to move on.  In many ways the first round was a bit of a Bizzaro World for the hockey world. The Best Team in the League goes out to a 3-0 series lead, and somehow becomes the underdog, Nashville makes the second round, Boston beats Montreal, and the two most clutch teams are San Jose and Washington.  Really, Detroit beating Phoenix and Philly having goaltending troubles are the only things that seem “right”.

In the past two years the 2nd Round have featured the Crosby-Ovechkin showdown, and the Greatest Collapse in Sporting History.  Hopefully this year can live up to that kind of billing.

Predicting 2011

Monday, January 10th, 2011

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…

Looking Back at My Crystal Ball

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

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?

2010-11 Predictacular: Western Conference

Tuesday, October 19th, 2010

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…

2010-11 Predictactular: The Eastern Conference

Monday, October 18th, 2010

Well it’s that time of the year again for the bold and daring hockey predictions for things to come! I continue today by looking at the Right Coast.  This conference tends to be a bit more conservative and easier to predict that the West.  However, last season they ended up with a 7-8 matchup in the Conference Finals.  Also some teams like the Lightning and Leafs had some pretty big roster overhauls.  So there are certain to be some surprises coming out this year.  But I think that it’ll shake out like this…

2010-11 Predictacular: Individual Awards

Friday, October 8th, 2010

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.

Shades of Wrestlemania – 7 Months in Advance

Monday, July 19th, 2010

Well it’s been a while since I have done this.  With Money in the Bank all over and Summerslam just around the corner.  It is as good of a time as any to make some guesses for the really big show that will be coming our way in March.  I have a feeling it will be a good one.  And it may just look like this…

2012 Doomsday, Nothing New

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

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.
