2008 Predictions (Top 5)

I saw this on another board I figured we could have some fun and make some predictions for the devils for the rest of the 2008 season!!


1. Devils finish in front of the Rangers in the standings, but Rangers fans still pump their chest that they finished 8-0 against the devs for the season.

2. Lou talks Pavel Bure out of retirement, patches things up with Alex Mogilny and trades for Sergei Federov. They all find the fountain of youth.

3. Lou steps down, Sutter takes over reigns of gm tells Vanderbeek to open up his wallet and makes his first splash. Signs Alex Ovechkin.

4. Devils beat Canadiens 1rst round only to get smoked AGAIN by OTT in second.

5. (off topic) Coyote beat wings in the first round!!! :yo:

The Devils never get shut out for the rest of the season, and score more than 5 goals 6 times, and in one game the Devils score 10.

A guy can dream right....

People will stop bashing Patrik Elias.

Johnny Oduya will be traded and/or killed.

njdevs231:3. Lou steps down, Sutter takes over reigns of gm tells Vanderbeek to open up his wallet and makes his first splash. Signs Alex Ovechkin.

Santa would have had to read my list.

My top 5: :sarcasm:

1.) Elias silences the critics, only to have a Hep flare in April. Guy can't catch a break.
2.) Kevin Weekes sells his gear on Ebay, no one notices.
3.) Parise gets engaged, home attendance drops 25%
4.) Mike Rupp is released. He still shows up for every game, sits in press box. (Old habits die hard).
5.) Cam Janssen returns, challenges Asham, Clarkson and Pelley to a UFC style battle to the death for a roster spot. Cam wins, but re-injures his shoulder in the process.

3. Lou steps down, Sutter takes over reigns of gm tells Vanderbeek to open up his wallet and makes his first splash. Signs Alex Ovechkin.

:biglaugh::biglaugh::biglaugh:

Oh man.

Luckily, your #1 can't happen, the strain of Hep Elias contracted doesn't recur. Or it isn't supposed to.

Dude that's classic. Hilarious.:biglaugh:

Rupp and Oduya get traded for a 7th round pick, and Janssen leads the league in scoring and sets new records for goals, assists and points, while only playing in ten games, with five minutes of ice time per game.

Lou trades Andy Greene for Wade Brookbank and pairs him with Sheldon. Doc and Chico spend the rest of the season tripping over their names on air.

:biglaugh: Parise engagement is genius.

Johnny Oduya will be traded and/or killed.

I laughed out loud and I'm not even a devils fan.. that was too funny..:biglaugh:

hahaha amazing.

--Devils goal song changed to the sound of the disembodied voice of Miroslav Satan saying "HAHAHAHAHA! Savor this moment."

--Colin White gets a breakaway, but instead of shooting, turns to check the nearest defender.

--Devils play in Montreal, Caroline Marcil is invited to sing the national anthem. Is at the last second advised to hum it while holding hands with players from both teams.

--Patrick Elias' new nickname "Eliza"

--Brodeur named healthiest athlete by Sports Illustrated, but on the last day of the regular season, Brodeur's arms fall off while he tries to handle the puck.

--Janssen visits the Wizard of Oz and asks for "skill"

--Scott Gomez reveals his secret crush on Lou after the Rangers are swept by the Devils in the second round.

--Barry Melrose charged with theft.

-Lou fires himself 3 days before the trade deadline because he just doesn't believe he can "get it done."

-Chico gets food poisoning from eating in the arena and projectile vomits on Doc in mid broadcast, prefaced by "You know Doc, I'm not too sure, but I think I'm about to........."

-Cindy Criesby gets tissue boxes thrown at him after scoring a goal in the second half of a home and home after whining incessantly in the first game in Pittsburgh.

-Sean Avery publicly announces that despite his hatred for New Jersey, he too, like former governor James McGreevy is a gay American, and the two have been dating for almost a year now.

-Brian Gionta, for one game, plays with stilts so he can settle the score with Zdeno Chara once and for all.

-Chico gets food poisoning from eating in the arena and projectile vomits on Doc in mid broadcast, prefaced by "You know Doc, I'm not too sure, but I think I'm about to........."

This is the best one yet. And this one won't be beaten.

--Sutter will smile and we will see the white's of his teeth for the first time.

--Oduya will try to be American and join Obama on his Presidential Campaign.

--NHL refs finally realize that the Devils are playing in the game, then immediately whistle the Devils for too many men on the ice.

--Lou embraces his "Godfather" role and decides to threaten the refs Tony Soprano style if they don't start calling the games fairly.

--Scott Stevens decides to return to hockey...the whereabouts of Eric Lindros are unknown.

:biglaugh: # 3 & 5 are classic

a serious one for me is:

weekes plays more games now that the devils are getting deeper into the season.

Lou gets on the phone with Darryl Sutter right before the deadline hoping to acquire a #1 d-man....and then the screen goes black.

My 2 favorites so far. Well done.

Ok I'm really psychic so here goes ;)

1. Kelly Clarkson marries David Clarkson and she doesn't have to change her last name.

2. Mike Rupp breaks his legs, or has it broken for him

3. Cam Janssen finally gets healthy, scores his first hat trick in his only appearance during the season, but the last goal gets waved off because he gets involved in a fight with the goalie after the goal.

4. Sean Avery gets a sex change (so he can be a man finally) and while he was getting his physical, finds out he's related to turtles.

5. John Madden scores a hat trick, all of them short handed goals.

6. Aaron Asham beats Brashier in a take down, but has a hernia afterwards.

7. Kevin Weekes finally gets to play another game in NJ.

8. Brodeur shuts out Lundqvist but ranger fans claim he was playing sick again.

9. Brent Sutter gets mugged outside of the Rock, but beats the mugger to a pulp.

10. Everson finally gets a Devils rumor correct, Hell promptly froze over.

Could you imagine Doc and Chico with a line of Jay, Mark and Mike Pandolfo? Brian and Steve Gionta with Zach Parise...with Jordan Parise in goal? Chico might not make it!

Thanks for the laughs guys, some real gems. Just one from me.

Lou signs Ovechkin and Marian Hossa July 1st. Deal is announced is briefly mentioned in Devils press release 10 days later.
