Not sure if it just isn't compatible with mobile but the link won't work for me.

 

If we're looking at the schedule, how many points do we see this team getting?

 

Columbus, Chicago, Anaheim, Carolina, Florida, Boston, Anaheim, LA, SJ, Toronto and Boston.

 

I'll say 9 points this month.

The link worked for me and it looks fantastic. Thanks a bunch for these Peppy. I always have it as my desktop picture for my home and work computers!

I think 9 is a solid assessment; I'll take 7

Very nice as always, Peppy!

[Derrico]

I think 9 is a pretty good estimate. I think I'd take the over though. As a full out tank supporter I hope I'm wrong.....

The pace of 9 points per 11 games would be 67 points.

Which would land is somewhere between 3rd-5th worst, right?

Last year it wouldve tied for second to last.

Last year it wouldve tied for second to last.

Having Rolston for those first two months really helped us in the tank, I can't see us starting nearly as bad this year. With Nolan having a full offseason under his belt and a ton of players fighting for their jobs, I doubt we'll just lay down like we did for the first 20 or so games last year. Having a veteran presence in the locker room that isn't looking forward to getting traded in November will ensure some more competitive play too. Scoring will be up (it can only get better), but without the Hoff the defense/pp & pk will take a huge hit. Say what you will about him last spring, but he still was far and above our best defender. Hopefully that, combined with no Miller and some inevitable goalie injury will put get as a shot at the top pick.

 

Season prediction: We start off stronger than we all predict, but after the losses start piling up, and the trade deadline comes and goes, we finish abysmally and finish with the 2nd worst overall record. Carolina gets the worst.

I'm not sure about last year, but the first month is really tough this year. A lot of good teams and travel in there.

[WildCard]

Our two worst months, record wise, were October and March last year

 

October: 2–12–1 (Home: 0–7–1 ; Road: 2–5–0)

March: March: 2–11–1 (Home: 0–3–1 ; Road: 2–8–0)

 

 

March was due to the trade deadline and just wanting the season to be over with, but for our October opponents, we had;

 

Detroit (2-1) Loss

 

Ottawa (1-0) Loss

 

Pittsburgh (1-4) Loss

 

Tampa (3-2) OT Loss

 

Columbus (4-1) Loss

 

Chicago (1-2) Loss

 

Minnesota (2-1) Loss

 

NYI (4-3) SO Win

 

Vancouver (3-0) Loss

 

Colorado (4-2) Loss

 

Boston (5-2) Loss

 

Florida (3-1) Win

 

Tampa (2-3) Loss

 

Dallas (4-3) Loss

 

NYR (0-2) Loss

 

 

So, out of the 14 games we played, 10 of them were against playoff teams. Harder to get a worse schedule than that. Though I didn't take into account the travel

8 of 11 games this October are against playoff teams. 4 of 11 in different time zones.

 

I guess October is just a tough month every year.

Thanks!

Who's the chicidoodle that smuggled in that dark bottle and is taking a big gulp?

 

Anyway, very nice, as always, Peppy.

 

There, I have used up all my commas for today.

Glad you guys like it. Made a Bills WP as well. Just in case the Sabres start 0-5 ;) However a Bills Wallpaper might not cheer you up that much more...
