The 2016/17 NHL season is right on our doorstep and what better time to make predictions that hours before the puck drops! I just want to keep this short and sweet because I need to get over this jet lag thing and you’ve probably already read a million prediction blogs so far… Bon appetite!
PS: I hate jet lag…

There you have it. Nothing fancy.Just the raw predictions from BLH’s crystal keg. And in typical Oilers fashion, a coach they could’ve hired takes his team to the Cup finals and wins it all. Thanks a lot Craig and Kevin!
