Worst takes you've had on this site?

[GettingYourMoms]

Zadina is going to fill those nets
Zboril will be too pair
Hajek will be top pair
Kaut will be top 6
Spacek, jenik, chlapik and d. Kase will be full timers
Mrazek will win a Vezina
Smejkal will be full time

Won't lie.. rough ass few years for me.lol

We must all assume, that every czech drafted will bust from now on, so we can be top hockey nation again in the future.

All my takes are bad, including this one.

 

[Gardner McKay]

Petr Prucha would be a perennial 40+ goal scorer.

 

[bossram]

Probably that I thought Florida hiring Maurice was a joke. Worked out pretty well!

 

[Coffee]

This feels like a personal attack towards me

Respect for picking your own take

If I were a Pens fan I'd be worried that he's their number 2 behind Jarry, especially with how injury prone Jarry has been the last couple of years. It seems like he's always out for a couple of weeks or a month here and there. Nedeljkovic is terrible and I'm pretty sure he isn't NHL caliber. He may be one of those JAG goalies that flourishes on good teams (Carolina) and is really bad on bad teams (Detroit), but I think it's more likely he's not NHL caliber. He may have some decent years in the NHL, but I wouldn't trust him for shit to keep things afloat for an injured Jarry.

Ned seems like the type of guy who can give some decent spot-starts as a backup, but definitely can't be relied on the carry the team for any stretches. It's tough for him in Pittsburgh right now because of how dog-shit the defense has been. Fortunately, it seems as though Joel Blomqvist is surpassing Ned on the depth chart, so that should help.

 

[Neil Racki]

Ovi will end up 8 short

Adam Fox is not a top 10 D man

 

[elmaco]

I thought Sebastian Aho wasn't gonna be an all-star.

 

[Hasbro]

Who was the Skoula puck poise guy?

Or start tracking down kids born in all cities during the years mulletman played there

I've predicted that the Maple Leafs would win the Cup multiple times in recent years. Call it the gambler's fallacy. But the luck has to change eventually, right?

 

[Hank Chinaski]

Should have drafted Ryan Pulock instead of Josh Morrissey.

I was in the same camp. I'm happy to be proven wrong because he is a great coach and good guy. Goes to show how toxic Winnipeg had become.

 

[Ignatius]

I thought the Penguins were doomed once Fleury became the starter in the 2017 playoffs.

There is no chance in heck they beat the Caps without him playing out of his mind that series, he definitely earned his ring that year and I was dead wrong about him and could not be happier to have been wrong.

 

[HugeInTheShire]

I haven't thought of this thread in a long time. Good times!

"I think Nurse will prove he is worth that contract".

 

[jackjohnson]

"I think Nurse will prove he is worth that contract".

Thats is a good one. Still the best one is this:

Darnell Nurse at 9.25m is average money for a #1 defenseman. Three years from now Oilers fans will have nothing to worry about...

that was 3 years ago and now Oilers fans are really worried about his cap and lack of caps space to fix that D.

 

[Patmac40]

I thought Kravtsov was going to contend for the Calder and be a great NHLer

Is that what Ed Jovanovski told you??

 

[M2Beezy]

When the Canucks selected Tom Willander in the 1st round in 2023 I thought they were sneakily getting a player on par with Nick Lidstrom. A year and a half later its clear hes far more talented

 

[Voight]

I expected Daniel Jones to become a good QB for the Giants.

I'm all for team optimism, but IMO anyone who's watched football for at least a decent chunk of time knew Danny Dimes (Pennies) was never going to be the guy. (Except for Giants ownership & management)

I remember in 2012 people on here were saying Ovy was no longer an elite goal sorcerer, he was washed, Caps would be better off trading him etc.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Lehkonen and Andreas Johnson are pretty much the same.

I think I was a fairly solid fan for Mikhail Stefanovich.

My thinking at the time was that he had the brains and was tutored by the guy who the Mannings consider a guru and he had al thr tools.

 

[Spring in Fialta]

Was willing to give up the Panthers pick that was trending top 10 for PLD a year or two ago.

 

[hangman005]

I've thought the next year couldn't possibly be any worse than the current year several times.
