And that means it&#8217;s time to start digging into things and watching and cursing and cheering and predicting.<\/p>\n<p>Ready?<\/p>\n<p>Just like last season and the season before (and so on) I&#8217;ve got a list of 20 predictions for the 2021-22 NHL season that may or may not come true or even make sense.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve tried not to be too nuts here. I think that most of these things have a chance to be realized. Some may be more likely than others. Some are going to be total misses. Some might even be right.<\/p>\n<p>The elephant in the room of course is the Montreal Canadiens and my fandom. Yes I have 5 predictions here that have something to do with the Habs. But I did not pick them to win the Stanley Cup. I tried that last year, and they came close &#8211; and honestly, that was pretty darn lucky.<\/p>\n<p>The team I did pick to take home the cup (see #20) was my pick for the finals last year with the Canadiens, but they didn&#8217;t make it.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s hoping that this is a fun season. A healthy season. And that we all have the chance to cheer for our favourite teams through thick and thin.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy the hockey!<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #32d5a9;\">20 Maybe Ridiculous Predictions for the 2021-22 NHL Season<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #32d5a9;\"><strong>1.<\/strong><\/span> \ud83c\udfd2 Carey Price will get a Saku Koivu-like ovation when he returns to the Centre Bell after his time away from the Montreal Canadiens.
