Around SBN: How A Letter From Tom Coughlin Helped One Fan's Recovery

You are Bold, Yes...

But are you Daring?

Bold Predictions

-Anze Kopitar will score 80 points or more.

-Wayne Simmonds will score 30 points.

-Justin Williams will play less than 60 games.

-Ryan Smyth will make me say, "Goddammit," over 100 hundred times.  (I'm already at 7.)

-Jack Johnson will score over 30 points and I will still hate him.

-Either Ryan Getzlaf or Scott Niedermayer will miss more than 15 games.

-The Sharks will trade for Dany Heatley, strip their captain of his responsibility, change the culture in their locker room... and lose their first game to the Avalanche.

Star-divide

-Ted Purcell will not score more than 42 points.

-Sean O'Donnell will begin as a #2 defenseman this season and end as a #6.

-Thomas Hickey will be a breakout player this season.

-Alex Frolov will do everythng right and yet still get criticized.

-Rob Scuderi will be the new scapegoat.

-Corey Perry will miss time when he is beaten half to death... by his own team.

-Jonathan Quick will play well this season.

-Jonathan Bernier will be the Kings' starting goaltender by the end of the year.

-No one will understand the reference I made in the title.*

*I don't understand why Doritos abandoned that ad campaign.  I thought it was hilarious.  Take this commercial as an example.  It was the 3rd best food ad campaign after the glorious Emerald Nuts campaign and those creepy Cheetos commercials.

-Jarret Stoll will score 20 goals this season but still no one will like him.

-Joe Thornton will go on a scoring tear and will be seen around town with a 19-year old man named Slade.

-Michal Handzus will miss games with an injury.

-The Kings will be on the power play and pass it between their two defenseman before taking a weak shot from the the blue line that is easily blocked.  The Kings will get the rebound and repeat.  (Wait, that's not bold.)

-Richard Clune will only play 40-45 games this season and yet have over 10 fights.

-Raitis Ivanans will play more than 65 games and yet have less than 10 fights.

-Trevor Lewis will play limited minutes but his season will still be considered a success.

-Peter Harrold will play more than limited minutes but his season will be considered a waste.

-The Kings will be out of the playoffs most of the year but will make a post-Olympic run to the playoffs.

-The Dallas Stars will start off strong but then realize their season rests on the shoulders of Marty Turco and Alex Auld.  They will then tumble, tumble, tumble.

-The Anaheim Ducks will miss the playoffs.

-The Kings will lose in the first round of the playoffs to the eventual champions: the San Jose Sharks.

-After finally getting over the hump, Sharks fans will somehow become more insufferable.

I stole this joke from a messageboard, but whatever:

— Saku Koivu will be unfairly criticized in the SoCal media for his inability to speak the local language: Spanish.

Teemu: Good practice, Saku, now let’s go grab a beer.
Saku: I don’t think that’s such a good idea, what if a reporter sees us?
T: What?
S: You know, we go grab a beer and then the next day there’s a giant headline that says, “Koivu and Selanne Lounge Instead of Preparing for the Season!” It’s not worth the hassle.
T: Haha, this isn’t Montreal, Saku. We can do whatever we want.
S: Really?
T: Yeah, really.
S: So… what you’re saying is that I can do whatever I want and nobody will judge me and pick apart my every move?
T: Yeah, it’s pretty awesome. Hell, Getzlaf was going like 100 in a 65 one time and the cop just waved him away. I don’t even think the Times mentioned it. …Hey, are you crying?
S: *teary-eyed I’m just so happy.

25 goals? You sir are not only bold, and not only daring… you are fucking crazy.
