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

    • Google's new AI tools are actively hunting and fixing critical cyber vulnerabilities by Paul Hill Google’s AI agent “Big Sleep”, which was launched last year to search for unknown security vulnerabilities, has uncovered multiple such vulnerabilities since its launch, the search giant revealed. Most recently, it discovered CVE-2025-6965, an SQLite vulnerability which was already being exploited by malicious actors. This is the first time that an AI agent has directly intervened to stop an in-the-wild exploit, Google believes. Google said that Big Sleep has also been deployed to try and enhance the security of widely used open-source projects. The shift to using Big Sleep to deliver proactive vulnerability prediction adds another tool to the arsenal of those fighting threat actors. Aside from some of Big Sleep’s latest achievements, Google unveiled some new AI capabilities it has been working on to boost defenses. One of these is Timesketch, an open-source digital forensics platform that’s being enhanced with agentic capabilities powered by Sec-Gemini. This tool will be able to automate initial forensic investigations to speed up incident response. Google also announced that it will demonstrate FACADE (Fast and Accurate Contextual Anomaly Detection) at Black Hat in August. Google has been using this tool internally since 2018 to process billions of daily security events to identify internal threats without needing historical attack data. As part of the announcement today, Google revealed that it’s donating data from its Secure AI Framework (SAIF) to accelerate the work of the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI), which it helps to set up. This donation will help with CoSAI’s work on agentic AI, cyber defense, and software supply chain security. Additionally, Google will unveil the winners of the AI Cyber Challenge with DARPA at DEF CON 33 next month. The challengers will show off new AI tools that help to find and fix vulnerabilities that can secure major open-source projects. Hopefully, all these efforts will translate into a safer digital landscape for everybody. Image via Depositphotos.com
    • Grounded 2, Robocop, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, and more coming to Xbox Game Pass by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe It's the halfway point of the month, and that means it's time for Microsoft to announce more games for its subscription services. The second wave of July for Xbox Game Pass is carrying some major releases, including Obsidian Entertainment's latest game, Grounded 2. The co-op sandbox is releasing into Game Preview on Xbox and PC. 505 Games and studio Leenzee's latest Soulslike experience, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, is also a part of the latest Game Pass wave too. Alongside it, other hits like RoboCop: Rogue City, High On Life, and Farming Simulator 25 are landing during the rest of July too. Here are all the games Microsoft announced for Xbox Game Pass, PC Game Pass, and Xbox Cloud Gaming today: High On Life (Cloud, Console, and PC) – Available now RoboCop: Rogue City (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 17 My Friendly Neighborhood (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 17 Back to the Dawn (Cloud, Console, and PC) – July 18 Abiotic Factor (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 22 Wheel World (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 23 Wuchang: Fallen Feathers (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 24 Grounded 2 (Game Preview) (Cloud, PC, and Xbox Series X|S) – July 29 Farming Simulator 25 (Cloud, Console, and PC) – August 1 From the bunch, Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Grounded 2, and Wheel World are all day-one drops, meaning subscribers will be gaining access to the trio the same day that they land for those who purchase the games. As new games arrive, three will be leaving the programs soon. This means Gigantic, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Turnip Boy Robs a Bank will become inaccessible to Game Pass subscribers on July 31. With this bunch of games out of the way, expect the next Game Pass announcement to land in about two weeks, which should cover what's incoming in the first half of August.
    • Back in my Best Buy days during Black Friday we would make trails for customers to follow, we called it hurdling the cattle. The hospital I work for has some weird partnership with Disney, there reps would call our patients “customers”.
    • A good sign is that Supergirl filming has ended and it is now in post-productions; editing, visual effects, etc. Such an extended period improves the odds it'll be a quality production. The cast is good, so we're down to the script and direction.
