Completely Useless 09-10 NHL Predictions

Here are the wonderful predictions from someone who may watch 5 regular season hockey games this year. Now with new and improved records so I can better evaluate just how wrong I was.

NHL West Standings














West Conference Finals

Chicago Blackhawks over San Jose Sharks -
The Sharks will once again be amongst the best teams in the NHL regular season and will once again disappoint massively in the postseason. The Blackhawks are your Western Conference Champs.

NHL East Standings














East Conference Finals

Philadelphia Flyers over Pittsburgh Penguins -
Hey look its a battle of Pennsylvania. I can't pick Sydney Crosby to win because I think he plays like a little whiny prick. So we're going CheeseSteaks and Hockey.

Stanley Cup Finals

Chicago Blackhawks over Philadelphia Flyers
The Blackhawks haven't won the Stanley Cup since 1961 so the Cubs aren't the only tortured fan base in Chicago. The Flyers themselves haven't won a title since 1975 so their in a bit of a slump. In the end it's time for Cubs fans to be alone in their misery. The Blackhawks are your 2010 Stanley Cup Champions.

NHL Awards

There's way too many awards in the NHL, so obviously I'm not going to do them all...

Adams - Gordon Bombay, is their any doubt he's going to be the best coach in the league, give me an f'n break. (Perennial Pick)

Calder - The Hedman will blow other rookies away.

Hart - Who's got Hart? The one female in the NHL of course. Sydney Crosby. (Perennial Pick)

Norris - Chuck Norris or Zdeno Chara, whichever plays more hockey this year.

Pearson - Alexander Ovechkin, he scores a lot.

Lady Byng - Sean Avery, cause honoring him with a sportsmanship award would be hilarious.

Vezina - Henrik Lundquist es un swedish pimp from Club Vandersexxx. (Perennial Pick until he wins)

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

This Is Why the New York Mets Can't Win Anymore

It's pretty simple why the Mets can't win games anymore and are morphing into the second worst team in the National League, they can't score runs. The below chart shows exactly whats happenned to their offensive output since each of the major devastating injuries. The blue line shows runs scored for each game through out the season. The pink line shows the average runs the Mets scored when they had everyone, the yellow when they were missing Delgado, the light blue when they were missing Delgado and Reyes, and finally the purple when they were missing Delgado, Reyes and Beltran. In the abscence of Reyes, Delgado and Beltran the Mets are averaging barely over 3 runs per game. In stark contrast, with everyone on the roster the Mets were scoring just over 5 runs per game. That's a wholesale difference and why their roster now equals a lot of losses and a day by day progression further out of a playoff spot.
