New Jersey Devils 2018-19 Season Preview
October 5th, 2018 With the offseason now long gone, it's finally time for meaningful New Jersey Devils hockey. The Devils are in a much different place than they were at this time last year. Most experts had them pegged for a lottery spot in the Entry Draft. Instead, they defied...
Golden Knights 2018-19 Season Preview
October 4th, 2018 The 2018-19 NHL season is finally upon us and with it comes the frivolous task for writers like me to get you ready for the season and make some silly predictions for the Golden Misfits: Part Deux. Much like last season, the Vegas Golden Knights will enter the season...
Florida Panthers 2018-19 Season Preview
October 3rd, 2018 Despite a late season push, the 2017-18 Florida Panthers missed the playoffs by one point. Considering they started with a 17-18-5 record through 40 games, a remarkable second half was needed to be in contention at season's end. They did just that by earning points in 30 of...

Vancouver Canucks 2018-19 Season Preview

Colorado Avalanche 2018-19 Season Preview
October 2nd, 2018 The Colorado Avalanche enter the upcoming season battling for respect. Yes, they made the playoffs last season but that hasn’t improved speculation on the upcoming season. Of 17 NHL.com panelists, only five thought the Avalanche would make the postseason, and that was as...
Anaheim Ducks 2018-19 Season Preview

Boston Bruins 2018-19 Season Preview
September 27th, 2018 The 2017-18 season both went better than expected and worse than expected for the Boston Bruins. Entering the season, the Bruins were fresh off of a first-round playoff loss to the Ottawa Senators and the hope was that the team would be able to progress from there. After...
Chicago Blackhawks 2018-19 Season Preview
September 26th, 2018 The Chicago Blackhawks are in a very strange position heading into the 2018-19 season. After years of being the class of the National Hockey League, they are trying to rebuild on the fly and remain competitive. Building around an aging core to reopen a championship...
Tampa Bay Lightning 2018-19 Season Preview
September 25th, 2018 For the Tampa Bay Lightning, the 2018-19 season offers a clean slate for the franchise to recenter and focus solely on capturing the greatest trophy of them all, Lord Stanley's Cup. After making it to Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Final in two of the past three seasons...
Pittsburgh Penguins 2018-19 Season Preview
September 25th, 2018 After becoming the first team to repeat as Stanley Cup Champions in the salary cap era, the Pittsburgh Penguins entered the 2017-18 season with the chance to three-peat, the first opportunity since the 1980-83 New York Islanders. In the offseason, they lost Nick Bonino,...
Montreal Canadiens 2018-19 Season Preview
September 22nd, 2018 For the second time in three years, the Montreal Canadiens have failed to make the playoffs. Not only that, they are coming off one of the franchise's worst performances in recent years. Things were bound to change. The Canadiens are not sure if they are rebuilding or if...
Philadelphia Flyers 2018-19 Season Preview
September 21st, 2018 The Philadelphia Flyers didn’t do much in free agency even though the team had a lot of cap space. General manager Ron Hextall made two big moves in landing a top-six forward and a depth defenseman. Will these two moves get them into the playoffs and past the first...
