Being from NY I was taught from a young age to hate the Bruins (and the Red Sox). I want them to lose even when on paper they're still a really solid team. Marchand and the Bruins are just so easy to root against.

Each team bold prediction:
Anaheim - Gibson finishes top 5 in Vezina votes
Arizona - another major controversy arises
Boston - Will have a top 10 draft pick in 2021
Buffalo - Eichel wins the Hart
Calgary - Markstrom struggles and Rittich takes over
Carolina - Necas performs well becoming a major asset in the top 6
Chicago - Malcom Subban solidifies himself as a starter
Colorado - Makar wins the Norris
Columbus - Dubois underperforms
Dallas - Klingberg bounces back
Detroit - Not last place... but win the lottery
Edmonton - its a pool party
Florida - make playoffs
LA - Cal Peterson transforms into the starter
Minnesota - Craprizov
Montreal - Make playoffs via Gary Rice
Nashville - Underwhelming season overall
New Jersey - perform above expectations with Subban finding form
New York Islanders - whatever they had going for them ends this season.
New York Rangers - Shesterkin is legit
Ottawa - The island of misfit toys causes some headaches in the all Canadian division (still finishing last)
Philadelphia Flyers - Provorov finishes with the most goals in the NHL amongst defence man
Pittsburgh Penguins - Rutherford trades another 1st round pick
San Jose Sharks - Karlsson bounces back finishing top 5 in defence man points
St. Louis - Robert Thomas finishes top 3 in points amongst teammates
Tampa Bay - Cirelli wins the Selke
Toronto - Robertson wins the Calder
Vancouver - Win the Canadian division but fall out in the first round
Vegas - Fleury regains starting positions with Lehner struggling
Washington - Carlson does not finish top 10 in defence man points
Winnipeg - Miss playoffs
Seattle - Will come in with a bang and send an offer sheet next summer

Pasta could miss 20 games. Krug is gone. Marchand recovering. Rask bailing during bubble may have negative implications. I see potential signs of trouble in Boston. They seem to have more adversity than many of the other top teams in the East division. Maybe they triumph over the adversity or maybe they struggle. I'm taking the latter.

Wdym you mean by that? Do you think his team will quit on him? If so, you're wrong but that may not be what you think

Obviously, nobody was gonna sell him out publicly for bailing on the bubble, but that had to take a toll. Any team needs to know that their best players are behind them 100%. If he gets off to a slow start the players may start to seriously question his commitment to the team. BTW, my "somewhat bold predictions" are being taken out of context here. I merely suggesting a hypothetical. Maybe Rask wins the Vezina and Boston wins the Cup. Personally, I think Rask is highly overrated and I don't think they'll make the playoffs, but I've been wrong many times before.

That's just wrong. Let's look at the top 9 and top 4 of the Bruins and how long they've been together
Pastrnak, Marchand, Bergeron, Krejci, DeBrusk, Kase, Ritchie, Coyle, Smith
McAvoy, Grzelcyk, Carlo, Lauzon
Pastrnak - 6 seasons
Marchand - 11 seasons
Bergeron - 11 seasons (with Rask)
Krejci - 11 seasons (with Rask)
Coyle - 1.5 seasons
DeBrusk - 3 seasons
McAvoy - 3 seasons
Grzelcyk - 3 seasons
Carlo - 4 seasons
Lauzon - 0.5 seasons
Ritchie - 0.5 seasons
Kase - 0.5 seasons
He'll basically be brothers at this point with Marchand, Bergeron and Krejci. Pastrnak won't quit on him after 6 years either and neither will DeBrusk, McAvoy, Grzeclyk or Carlo. They obviously believe in each other and like each other considering they have been consistent contenders for almost every year they've been teammates. Only guys I'd be remotely concerned about quitting would be Ritchie, Kase and Coyle. Lauzon will just be happy to be a Bruin and wouldn't dare have the audacity to give up on Rask and as for Ritchie, Kase and Coyle, they'll just be crushed into submission by a team that supports Tuukka. From my experience, it takes about 3 months to build a bond as a team so Ritchie, Kase and Coyle may already be with Rask on this. This team has been together through thick and thin and there is no way that him having a 1 year old child and missing 2 months of hockey is going to change that.

Except they haven't been together through thick and thin. Rask left the team when things got tough!!!

1. Boston Bruins will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
2. Tampa will finish 4th in the Central.
3. Quinn Hughes leads all D in scoring.
4. Trevor Zegras wins Calder after leading all rookies in scoring.
5. Marc Andre Fleury finishes the season with a better Save % than Robin Lehner
6. OTT does NOT finish in last place in the North division. How's that for bold!?
7. Andrei Svechnikov scores at least 25G including 3 lacrosse goals.
8. The Stanley Cup winner comes from the Canadian division. With an Asterisk???
9. Carter Hart leads league in Wins and wins Vezina.
10. Mika Zibanejad scores 38G to win Rocket.

1. Boston Bruins will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
I’d say this is 50-50 on happening.

2. Tampa will finish 4th in the Central.
I doubt it, unless Vasy gets injured.

3. Quinn Hughes leads all D in scoring.
He’s definitely one of the D who could.

4. Trevor Zegras wins Calder after leading all rookies in scoring.
That is very bold. Not out of the question because of how bad their division is after the top 3.

5. Marc Andre Fleury finishes the season with a better Save % than Robin Lehner
That could definitely happen, but likely because Lehrer will be playing better teams.

6. OTT does NOT finish in last place in the North division. How's that for bold!?
Extremely bold. That would probably only happen if Hellebuyck gets injured.

7. Andrei Svechnikov scores at least 25G including 3 lacrosse goals.
Probably.

8. The Stanley Cup winner comes from the Canadian division. With an Asterisk???
I doubt it, but if there is, there shouldn’t be an asterisk. If you make it through the playoffs, you’re clearly the best team in the league (other than injuries to their teams, which happens every year).

9. Carter Hart leads league in Wins and wins Vezina.
Could happen, but I’d be leaning more towards Vasilevsky because of the strength of competition.

10. Mika Zibanejad scores 38G to win Rocket.
I could see that.

Here's 10 for you

1 Linus Ullmark finishes top 5 in wins.
2 Toronto actually makes the final 4
3 Edmonton misses the playoffs and there are hints Draisatl wants a trade.
4 The rental at the deadline market is massive and everyone loads up cheap. Movers include Rinne, Stepan, Anisimov, Helm, Marc Staal, Zajac, Palmeri, Dubinsky, Savard, MoJo, Granlund, Both Folignos and the entire Arizona defense unit.
5 We find out that Point is not Namestnikov and he can play without Kuch. Stamkos and Point use the slap pass to dominate the PP.
6 The hard luck Blues lose early again being in the division with Vegas and Colorado.
7 The Penguins are terrible and miss the playoffs by a lot.
8 Ovechkin chases 50 in 50 for a while but eventually misses.
9 Sam Reinhart almost wins the Art Ross.
10 Morgan Reilly Norris Nominee.

Do they just put AHLers at defence after that? Goalies? Coaches? Mascots? lol

1. Hall and Eichel develop zero chemistry. But with two decent scoring lines Buffalo make the post season.
2. Boston miss the playoffs after a slew of injuries.
3. Mackinnon finishes outside the top 10 in points.
4. Crosby wins the selke.
5. The Norris finalists are all Scandanavian.
6. Carolina wins the Central
7. Edmonton wins the Canadian division.
8. Hart wins the Vezina.
9. All the regular season awards (except the Selke) are won by players 25 or younger.
10. Kucherov wins the conn smythe after missing the entire regular season.

7. Is the least likely prediction I have seen in these lists.

EDM has by far the worst goaltending in the division. You can win with mediocre goalies, but not terrible goalies.
