So what are your predictions this year?

What I expect to see this season:

  • Buffalo vs. San Jose in the cup final.
  • Leafs making the playoffs, barely
  • Winnipeg fans showing the league they should of NEVER left!
  • 3+ 50 goal scorers (Perry, Stamkos, and a surprise player)
  • This will Brodeurs last season
  • The Jagr experiment will fail
  • Philly will regret trading Carter and Richards

What about the rest of you?

habs last chance to take the division (eff boston) cause after this year the redwings will be in that division with boston moving out and it's not going to be easy then...

i really doubt perry will score fifty again though, as much as i love him.

My prediction is Washington finally makes the cup final.

I've never even liked them but I think this is their year.

This might be the first year I cheer for Montreal because Boston is my 2nd most hated team now (besides Chicago of course). I actually hope MTL wins the East :p

Going to be a good year although I think the Canucks are going to have a slow start, we have a lot of injuries.

Watching ESPN Sports Reporters on TSN and some fool thinks NHL should ban fighting because three enforcers died this summer. Why don't we ban all physical contact and call it a day. I wouldn't be surprised if you are to look at the number of concussions, 75% or greater were caused by a hit and not from a fight.

This is going to be an 'ahem' interesting season for the avs. It could either go very wrong or Sacco and Sherman could turn out to be absolute geniuses.

I'm also picking Washington to make the finals, along with LA.

Oh and the avs will make the playoffs. :p

doubt it, but biases aside, i actually beleive montreal is this country's best hope at it.

They aren't any better than last year, but if they have Markov for most of the season that will be an improvement.

I hope they can take out Boston this year if they meet in the playoffs again :)

there was nothing wrong with last years team, it was the same team that made that run 2 years ago (with a better goalie). the problem was they faced boston with only 2 starting d-men from their original roster... they had injury problems up the ass last year. cammi was gone for six weeks, gionta missed time. the only healthy hab was gomer... and he did well /s

    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026

      By seeprime · Posted

      I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • Bypassed Windows 11 shows surprising stability on ancient, completely unsupported hardware

      By +Spark99 · Posted

      My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Tidal won't monetize AI slop music, company says

      By monterxz · Posted

      I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."

      “Could” … in the IS the healthcare is run by insurance companies that make indecent profits denying basic treatments to people that are paying money for nothing. Besides, where are all the Trump epigones who were stating that the tariffs were going to paid by foreign companies and not the US citizens? …
