Predictions for tonight's game?

I am predicting a 4-3 Panthers win. I am 4-4 on the season so far in terms of predictions (correctly predicted losses to Detroit, Toronto, Washington and Philly, was wrong on Minnessota, Colorado, and Carolina). I was undecided on Columbus, having suspected it could go either way, but will give it an incorrect guess. I predicted the Sens would either go 3-9 or 4-8, and they are currently 4-5.

The panel at SenatorsExtra have predicted 5-3 in favour of the Sens winning.

So your predictions have been horrible. You can't get half your predictions wrong, then have their overall record guessed correctly, and claim a victory!!!!

Of course, what can I expect from a Panthers fan.

You seem to feel the need to question my team loyalties when I say another team is better and likely will win, but I don't see you question anyone else for making predictions in favour of the other team, or for criticizing players that play for the team.

If it is okay as a fan of the team to criticize players on that team as a fan, does it mean if they criticize players on another team that they are a fan of that team too? Also by your logic if I predict the Sens will win, does that mean I am actually a fan of the opposing team?

Funny, NEELY did the same thing. And how does their overall record coincide at all with correctly predicting every win, nd every score?

So if someone predicted they would finish the season 43-30-5-4 but only successfully predicted wins for 23 games and incorrectly for 16 losses, they were incorrect saying they would still go 43 and 39 overall?

Great logic there.

I LOVE our top line. It won't be long before the NHL is buzzing about it. They are so exciting to watch and they are a Wing Dang Doodle to play against as we've all witnessed. Greening is definitely now realizing just how strong he is and that guys cannot move him as hard as they try. Very refreshing.

Ya...I hate to jinx it caus it's still so early in the season, but how long have we been waiting for a guy like this? And at that price tag? Guys with that kindu jam that can play on your first line are hard to come by. He's such a perfect fit with Spezza and Michalek. Spezza is reaping the benefits of the space Greening is making for him. The guy is a monster in the corners and in front of the net!

Yeah really. I think you have to get lucky and draft these guys, because not many teams let the prototypical power forward get to free agency.

Meh. You said yourself you've gone 4-4 in predictions. You might as well have flipped a coin. Especially since the losses to the Wings, Leafs (2nd game of road back-to-backs), Flyers, and Caps were all easy calls. So really, you've gone 0-4.

Let's settle down a little. He's currently on the first line but he is not a first line player - at least at the moment.
