As I am a loser, I have a guilty pleasure of predicting hockey stats and stuff to such a detail that it's pretty sad. Here are some predictions for the Oilers 08-09 season that I have somehow come up with. Don't ask me why the specific number, it's just the most logical one I can come up with in my head. As I am such an optimist for the team, especially after the win tonight, I will definitely over predict on some stats. Here goes nothing...
Edmonton Oilers record(82 game season):
45-30-7 [97 points] 6th in the West
Edmonton Oilers player statistics(prorated for 82 games): [Goals-Assists-Points]
Ales Hemsky: 24-61-85
Shawn Horcoff: 27-46-73
Sam Gagner: 20-40-60
Erik Cole: 25-32-57
Lubomir Visnovsky: 13-42-55
Dustin Penner: 26-26-52
Andrew Cogliano: 21-29-50
Robert Nilsson: 15-35-50
Sheldon Souray: 15-32-47
Tom Gilbert: 14-31-45
Fernando Pisani: 16-20-36
Kyle Brodziak: 15-18-33
Ethan Moreau: 14-17-31
Denis Grebeshkov: 9-20-29
Marc Pouliot: 8-15-23
Zach Stortini: 5-10-15
Jason Strudwick: 2-8-10
Ladislav Smid: 1-5-6
Steve MacIntyre: 1-3-4
**Rob Schremp: 4-9-13
**Gilbert Brule: 5-7-12
**Theo Peckham: 0-3-3
**Taylor Chorney: 1-2-3
** If the three prospects do get called up, which is pretty likely and play a bunch of games based on their given circumstances, that is how many points I'll expect them to get at the very most.
So ultimately, I think my predictions are within a reasonable range. This being said, it is assumed that each player improves on what they accomplished last year, which is expected. I think it's pretty obvious that something could happen and my predictions be absolutely balogne, but nonetheless, this would be the ideal point projection assuming our team can live up to our potential which is also expected. So I hope some of our players can totally prove me wrong and do much better than what I hope.
Here's to many, many Oiler victories this upcoming season!
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
