2013/2014 Season
Target as ever is Stanley Cup, Expecting Winnipeg to be only threat.
Kopitar-Spezza-Kessel
Nash-Tavares-Tarasenko
Semin-Toews-Kane
Perron-Zibanejad-Seguin
Our defence is not what it once was Weber is only one who makes it the top 10 list of defenders(no2). This game really values excellent D men, ours are not quite excellent, Carlson Burns Weber our top 3, Klingberg and Hamilton should be world class soon, but Voynov not at that level. Hoping from big things from Carlson who has Mark Streit boots to fill.
500 goals with our inexperienced is the target and 150 points.
Start off like a house on fire, but Kucherov's Carolina look menacing right behind us. We then hit a goalscorer slump, and afeer 1/4 of the season, we are on 35 points, Winnipeg 34, Carolina slump a little bit, we are on pace for 502, fallen off the 600 after the first 9 games. Points battle and top goal scorer are very close, with Sedin and Jeff Carter leading by 1 on each respectively
Halfway...Rangers 63, Winnipeg 67. whole host of teams in the 50's/ We are on pace for 500 goals still, Daniel sedin leads with 94 points, Carter with 42 goals. John Carlson is every bit as good as i hoped as my number 1 def.
Olmpic Break, Ranges went on a 17 win streak, but somehow are LEVEL with Winnipeg who are on a 13 game win streak at the break! Sedin 2 clear of Crosby in points, and Kopitar top goalscorers, 1 from Carter. Pavelski/Malkin powering the winnipeg juggernaut.
Olympics, of the 4 'nhl' olympics, usa haven't won any of them. Can they win this one before we take a break for 12 years? All star game is held right in the middle of it! Olympics q-f, Can vs Fin, Usa vs Slv, Cze vs Sui and Sweded vs Russia. Finland shock Canada, Sweden beat Russia, whilst USA faces of against the Czechs in the other semi final.
USA beat the czechs with a young 42 yo Jagr still playing! Sweden will face them in the final, after handling Finland.
and its the USA with Carlson, Pavelski and Kessel winning their first gold, with a 5-1 thump of sweden. Czechs get the bronze. Apart from Finland, all the major nations won 1 gold medal in the 5 nhl olympics from 1998-2014.
End of season With the last 7 games left to go, the Rangers and Jets are still tied, having only dropped 4 points each since the olympics break. They go head to head and its Winnipeg who win 5-3! Anoter loss to Anaheim cooks our goose, and we are not President Trophy winners for the first time in decades! 95/96 when Grewtzky Red Wings were top! Winnipeg an unbelievable 146 points and the Rangers 141! Sedin is art ross winner-177, Ovechkin overtakes everyone with Maurice Richard win with 83 goals. Rangers only 487 goals. A real slow down last 10 games of the season, can we recuperate in the playoffs. Winnipeg have to be favourites!
