Every year, just as the regular season is set to begin, I make Oddly Specific predictions for each NHL team. It’s one of my very favorite columns to write each year.
And then in the spring, I have to see if I actually got any right. That’s today’s column, and it is not one of my favorites.
But we have to do it because accountability matters, so here we go. If you’re new to the Oddly Specific prediction game, it’s exactly what it sounds like: A prediction for each team that gets a little too detailed. It’s not enough to say a team will have more points; we need an exact total.
