NHL Trade Deadline Predictor Extraordinaire

The NHL Trade Deadline this year is March 3rd, and as you know Ray Shero the Pittsburgh Penguins GM has been very active this time of year the last few years landing players and “rental” players to help the Pens make it to the playoffs. Everyone seems to have a prediction or idea about who the Penguins will be or should be acquiring and who the Penguins should and will trade.

This is your big chance to shine. What we want from you is a list of 3 players from any league that you think the Penguins will be acquiring before the deadline and 3 Penguins Players or prospects that the Penguins will be trading away. Please do not list upcoming draft picks as your picks.

All picks should be in by February 10th, if a trade is made before the 10th and you pick a player after the trade was already made, we will disqualify you. If you pick the player before the trade, it counts, so get your picks in fast. No changing picks once they are made.

All you need to do is leave your list in the comment section below, it’s that simple.

Anyone who gets all six will be crowned PenguinPoop Trade Predictor Extraordinaire and have your picture pasted on our front page for a week. 

Good Luck.



Stanley Cup Finals – Predictions – Pittsburgh Penguins vs Detroit Red Wings

With the Penguins ready to roll into the Stanley Cup Finals we thought it was time we came together here at PenguinPoop and put down our predictions of  who we think is going to win and maybe just a few reasons why.

Stanley Cup Finals Predictions:

 

0hookDr. Hook: The Red Wings rolled over Chicago about the same as the Penguins rolled over Carolina.  Detroit’s defense almost completely neutralized Toews and Kane and all-and-all the Hawks had nothing to bring to the table but decent goaltending.  As we already knew about Hossa… he showed that he really can step-it-up in the playoffs.  But so can the Penguins and this Penguin team is one much better and more experienced than the glossy eyed kids last season. The difference maker in my humble opinion will be Fleury and constant pressure.  The game between Detroit and Chicago looked in slow-motion to me.  I believe the Penguins are really that dominant… line after line.  That’s why I took the Penguins in 4.  Then again, if I really could project the future I’d be at the dog track…

Reg Dunlop:  Last year I think the Pens did everything they could to keep up with the Red Wings.  The Wings were clearly a better team.  This year I think it is a completely different scenario.  This year, I think the Red Wings are doing everything they can to stay at a level they achieved last year.  The Penguins, on the other hand, have come a long way in the development of their game.  The Pens, to me, are a team on the rise and the Red Wings are ...

NHL Conference Finals – Predictions

With the Penguins ready to roll into round three of the playoffs in their third race for 4, we thought it was time we came together here at PenguinPoop and put down our predictions of  who we think is going to win the Eastern and Western Conference’s and maybe just a few reasons why.

Western Conference Predictions:

0hookDr. Hook: Speed and skill have taken Chicago a long way.  They have balanced scoring and three defenseman who move the puck and get it to the right people.  Khabilbulin has already won a Cup and they have Huet as a backup.  Their PP was clicking at about 25% on the road and as long as Joel Quenneville doesn’t screw things up (I never liked the guy) I see Blackhawks upsetting the Red Wings.  Pavel Datsyuk is in a major funk and Detroit’s PK ranked at the bottom of the league.  I’m counting on Scotty Bowman having backdoor meetings to make sure Quenniville doesn’t screw this one up.  I’m saying CHICAGO in 6.

Reg Dunlop:  As for the Wings and Hawks, I can’t seem to come up with any good reason that the young, high-flying Blackhawks can outmatch the Red Wings. Though, I think the Red Wings are beatable this year, I don’t think the Blackhawks are there yet. I think the Red Wings have the ability step it up and win this series. Plus, how cool would it be to see the Pens beat the Red Wings in the Finals? I like Detroit in 5.

0sthSTH35: In looking at every possible angle at this series, and trying to find a way that Chicago can win, I can’t do it.  The Blackhawks have a very young, talented and energetic hockey club.  They are not ready for the Red Wings quite yet.  Toews and Kane are two of the brightest young stars in the game.  Their lack of playoff experience will be too much to overcome.  The Red Wings still appear to be unbeatable.  Even when you shut down their big guns, someone steps up for them. Every edge goes to Detroit.  Red Wings in 5.

Phil Krundle: Chicago got a lucky draw the first two rounds and Detroit should take this series no problem.  Khabibulin and Chicago’s defense don’t stand a chance.  Detroit got a tough draw in the second round going up against a very experienced, very  defensive Anaheim team.  While the first two games might be close, Chicago will get dejected from not winning the first two after all the effort they put in and the second two games will be blowouts. Detroit in 4.

Eastern Conference Predictions:  ...
