Make your preseason picks for:

Stanley Cup

Here's my predictions sure to go wrong:

Stanley Cup - Tampa Bay Lightning over Vancouver Canucks
Presidents' Trophy - Boston Bruins
Hart Trophy - Henrik Sedin
Vezina Trophy - Tim Thomas
Calder Memorial Trophy - Adam Larsson
Art Ross Trophy - Henrik Sedin
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Zdeno Chara
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Pavel Datysuk
Jack Adams - Guy Boucher

Stanley Cup - San Jose Sharks over Tampa Bay Lightning
Presidents' Trophy - Vancouver Canucks
Hart Trophy - Steven Stamkos
Vezina Trophy - Pekka Rinne
Calder Memorial Trophy - Brayden Schenn
Art Ross Trophy - Alex Ovechkin
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Zdeno Chara
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Pavel Datsyuk
Jack Adams - Lindy Ruff

Stanley Cup - Vancouver Canucks over Boston Bruins
Presidents' Trophy - Tampa Bay Lightning
Hart Trophy - Steven Stamkos
Vezina Trophy - Carey Price
Calder Memorial Trophy - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Art Ross Trophy - Steven Stamkos
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Shea Weber
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Mike Richards
Jack Adams - Terry Murray

Stanley Cup - Washington over San Jose
Presidents' Trophy - Washington
Hart Trophy - Ovechkin
Vezina Trophy - Lundqvist
Calder Memorial Trophy - Landeskog
Art Ross Trophy - Ovechkin
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Weber
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Datsyuk
Jack Adams - Kevin Dineen

Stanley Cup - Homer in me wants to say Red Wings but I think that Tampa has a legit shot over San Jose
Presidents Trophy - Tampa Bay
Hart - Stamkos
Vezina - Tim Thomas
Calder - Ryan Nugent-Hopkins
Art Ross - Vincent Lacavier (playing with Stamkos + St Louis is going to pay off)
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Dustin Byfuglien
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Pavel Datsyuk

Cup- LA Kings over Buffalo
Presidents Trophy- Vancouver
Hart- Ovechkin
Vezina- Ryan Miller
Calder- Nino Niederreiter
Art Ross- Ovechkin (Malkin a close 2nd)
Norris- Doughty
Selke- Datsyuk
Jack Adams- Lindy Ruff
Rocket- Stamkos

Stanley Cup - If Markov can keep his fragile ass in shape, I can see the Habs pulling it off. Had Markov/Gorges/Pacioretty been healthy last year, we would've beat Boston.
Presidents' Trophy - Washington.
Hart Trophy - Alex Ovechkin.
Vezina Trophy - Carey Price.
Calder Memorial Trophy - Brett Connolly.
Art Ross Trophy - Daniel Sedin.
James Norris Memorial Trophy - Drew Doughty.
Frank J. Selke Trophy - Pavel Datsyuk.
Jack Adams - Barry Trotz. He has to win it one year, right? Guy Boucher will probably take it, though.

I have bold predictions on every team in the Wiretap and Standing 10 right now if you guys are interested.

Also - this thread should get stickied so we can go back to it at the end of the year.

Worst team in the east besides Winnipeg on the stat sheet.

A little early don't you think? In the West Vancouver, San Jose and Nashville would all be out of the playoffs right now. Montreal and Boston in the East. Colorado would host Edmonton in the playoffs.

I was just pointing out their awful start to the season.

To be fair, the Bruins lost Recchi, Ryder, Kaberle and Colin Campbell in one summer. That's hard to make up for.

We've missed you, sh00n

The constant bashing of Campbell based on the Chara hit is really annoying but I have to admit I laughed at that post.

Dustin Byfuglien for Norris what was I thinking that day wow what a idiot I am for picking that guy over Chara, Webber, Lidstrom or Brian Campbell or Kris Letang.

Yeah well more than one of us picked Ovie for Hart/Art Ross...
