It’s here. Starting at 1 p.m. on Oct. 8, I will post an NHL team preview every hour until the first game begins on Oct. 9.
The teams will be broken down, with predictions on how they will finish, and some hockey pool picks. Please note for the pool picks, I will not be choosing obvious players. It will be some players who could have a good year, and who you should stay away from.
I will be providing links to the team previews from this page as they go up, so if you miss one, come back here to be able to find it quickly.
If you have any comments, predictions or questions, post them below.
