PSN Season 4 Write Up - By Division

@Dxwny

 

1 team is on pace for double digit OTLs, you predicted more 5 teams in one division to do it. Great prediction.

 

I'll have to go check and see how accurate my draft rankings were good reminder

 

We're gonna need a post-deadline thread of the same thing pal.

 

Oh god.

 

Just if you want a visual comparison (last column is the rank difference within conference, and projection is just if the season was extrapolated over 82 games)

 

Sparkplug87 nic carrying the Toronto maple leafs to glory. Also may I remind you he fell through NHL bidding...

edit: also will be snubbed from the all star game

 

Slept on Dallas

 

Minus a few teams who had mass quitting, bans for second tags, sell outs at the deadlines, and under/over achievers... I wasn't too far off on points and standings.

Said Caps in 6, and sticking to it

 

Colors show how close I was to the prediction.

Green - 5 or less
Yellow - within 10
Orange - within 20
Blue - 20+

Almost exact on a few records, west was an anomaly in my opinion for the way it ended with respect to bans and trades.

Florida
Pittsburgh
Buffalo
Chicago
Arizona
San Jose

^^ close to perfect record predictions

 

Slept on Dallas

 

Didn't sleep on you

vvvvvvv

5. Dallas Stars


I struggled to put @I--Chief--I in this spot, because I believe he actually does have a good roster. Not only does he have a good roster, he held a winning record with Boston at the end of Season 3 in respect to games played against the teams in this division. All that being said, I think playing in the Atlantic gave them easier games in order to match their better lines against weaker lines from Central teams. I believe this roster has what it takes to be a successful team, but am not convinced that they will be able to sustain game after game through the ringer.


Forwards:

@bill_1492, @LoL, @Hayesx11, and @I BoneCrusha I are all really strong pieces that should be able to string together quite a few wins. @HazeeHype will contribute through his skype messages as he never wears a mic. But rest assured….. HE CAN HEAR YOU THROUGH THE TV, so tell him where to go. All jokes aside, the forwards are good on Dallas, and they will be competitive.


Defense:

@x_ReAcTiiOnz_71 has been one of the more consistent guys in the league over the first few seasons of LG PSN, and finally got his chance to show that he is a better d man in the league last season with Boston. Between him, @L_DominanDo_L, @GeneralPatton044, and Chief, they have a more than capable roster to stack up. Even the cone @Lazy Pedestrian at his overpaid price of 4 mil (C’mon Chief… didn’t you watch those videos?!?!) will contribute to a play here or there.


Goalies:

@Matt_4029 showed last season that he can hang with the best of them in LG between the pipes. He has bailed out his team on more than one occasion. The fish, aka @Mooner2014, will be sure to make a few diving saves as well. This goalie duo will do fine.


As I wrote this and went through the roster, I couldn’t justify putting this team 6th (where I initially placed you). There are some solid pieces, and as long as there isn’t a colossal meltdown that causes a massive trade of the entire roster (hmm.. sound familiar?), this team should be fine.


Regular Season: 40 - 38 - 4

 

You're humble and a good winner. I think that's why all of LG likes you so much.

 

Chief just wants someone to pump his ego right now.... lol

 

Pretty much Vhigh haha.

But Forty, I'm usually the one getting shit on in this league for nothing so you're damn right I'm going to gloat about my team when I can. I take pride in building winning teams. I'm humble when I want to be.

 

Now win a cup
