Flames miss the playoffs.
Oilers win the cup over the Leafs.
Ron MacLean's head doesn't explode.

Gaudreau and Monahan are traded.

Yeah most of these are crazy predictions, not hot takes. These are hot takes:

-The Oilers are good.
-Giordano will be the 7th dman by the all star break.
-Tkachuk will do the Flames a solid with a 1 year $5M dollar deal announced tomorrow.
-The Canucks will win their first cup before the Flames win their 2nd.
-John Gillies is the Flames #1 prospect.
-In hindsight Greg Gilbert and Glen Gulutzan were great coaches let down by their players.
-The puck didn’t go in.

Hot take:

I like Milan Lucic. He’s not nearly as bad as people think. His contract isn’t good but that contributes a lot to the hate.

Connor McDavid would be an 80 point player if he wasn't riding Draisaitl's coat tails and being sheltered by Nugent Hopkins. He is wrecking the Oilers not the Oilers wrecking him.

Hint: if your hot take includes the word "will", you're doing it wrong.

The league has to institute a rule stating mouth guards must fully remain in mouth during on ice play.
Matthew Tkachuk can sit out the entire season in protest for all I care.

1. Lucic - Dube - Bennett form a very effective 3rd line that scores and drives play, Bennett puts up 45 points.

2. 3M stays together and Frolik posts his best season as a Flame in a contract year.

3. Mark Giordano wins his 2nd straight James Norris Trophy.

4. Cam Talbot and David Rittich win the William M. Jennings Trophy.

5. Gaudreau - Monahan - Lindholm actually improve their total output this season.

Unethical tactics are part of the game and contribute to winning. This includes stalling after icings, diving, pushing your net off the posts, and slashing players in the wrists. The NHL doesn't do enough to deter these things, so teams are better off participating in them.

Scrums and facewashes after every whistle make the NHL a joke of a league. No other sport tolerates this much constant unsportsmanlike behaviour save for UFC and WWE.

Nets should be bigger. People are against it because they fear change.

Why?

I like hockey. I'm not going to watch 20% more hockey if scoring is up 20%. Someone who isn't a hockey fan isn't going to magically become one if scoring is up 20%.
