QUEBEC CITY, QC. — Hello readers, I would like to start off by saying that I’m extremely thankful for the warm welcome from the All Habs team and the opportunity I’m being given by writing for their website. Since we’re still 67 days away from the NHL hockey season, I thought I’d the make the wait easier for some of our followers!

During the month of August, I will be revealing my predictions of the standings for the upcoming season. Each day, one team will be revealed with a detailed article explaining my position. Starting with the team’s past progress, their off-season and statistics that help explain why I expect the team to make the playoffs or miss them. I’m warning you, some of my predictions may seem startling but I’m not doing it for controversy or shock purposes, these are just my personal opinions.

If you disapprove about where I ranked your team or feel the need to share your opinions.  It’s best to leave me a note in the comments section below.  The more we all learn about hockey, the better!

I will reveal later today (Saturday) who I think will finish first in the East next season.  Hint: it’s rather warm there.

On that note, I wish you a great summer and Go Habs Go!
