The Last Post


Dear select-GMs,

This shall be the last post of the season. Sad, I know. But every tall drink of water must be finished at some point, and this blog is no different. However, keep in mind that once that tall drink is downed, it is refined, pissed out, and then through the great miracles of science and mother nature, it is recycled into fresh water once more, and can be consumed again. Translation: I will be back, blogger extraordinaire, when what will hopefully be a third Pulitzer Prize.

First, let's wrap up by looking back at my preDICKtions.

(1) Karlsson will not lead all D-men in scoring. Damn right! Though I must admit, I will never make this prediction again. This guy is too fucking good. If it were not for his injury, I think he would have had his second consecutive Norris.

(2) Parise will suffer a significant shoulder injury while playing in the West. Well, this was a bust. Parise played a full season and did admirably well, in my opinion.

(3) Kovalchuck will not score more than 16 goals this season. Commissioner Randy wins again. Kovalchuck scored 11 this season, and was less than a point-per-game player.

(4) Hartnell will rack up PIMs, and little else. In fact, he'll score less that Kovalchuck. Hartnell had 11 points and 70 PIMs through 32 games played. Was I right? I'll let you decide.

(5) Howard will get wins in Detroit, but nothing more. I'm going to say I effed this up a little bit. Howard was actually pretty decent, and Detroit scared the shit out of everyone down the stretch with their play.

(6) Dick burns will go through fifteen packs of boxers while in the East Cost. Two words: nailed it!

(7) AznSitch will crunch a record 220lbs of resistance. Two words: nailed it!

(8) Safari will disappear for a period of 27 days. I'm disappointed I missed this. It was actually Dick Burns that went MIA, not Safari.

(9) Burgundy will obtain a Masters of Penial Analytics (MPA) from his studies. This was a gimmie, but I'll fucking take it. Burgundy, you no longer have to be called an MPAc. You are just an MPA now. Congrats.

(10) LA will win a second consecutive Stanley Cup. I WISH this would have come true. When LA made it to the Western Conference Final, I felt their chances were good. But Chicago had to shit all over that party.

In total, I was 6/10. Kneel, bitches.

The next time you read my posts, it will be on another blog, in full swing for the new season. All select-GMs will be notified of the new web location. Take care, and good luck redeeming yourselves next season!

Cordially yours,

the Fucking Randy
