It has begun...
The Hockey News' Ultimate Pool Guide hit the stands this week (Sid the Kid has thier top rank with a prediction of 128pts - I'll just take the trophy now and we can all reconvene next September if you like :-)). While frequently mocked for its off the wall predictions and short player commentary its a guide that, inexplicably, always performed well in my post-season guide accuracy analysis.
I'll hold off on making any position observations as the UPG is never exactly the same as the Bible, which should now be out in the next week or so, and there is no point in getting excited about P.Demitra, P.Kessel, A.Radulov, T.Ruutu or R.Nilsson's move to left; K.Tkachuk, M.Comrie, J.Carter and M.Frolik's move to center; or G.Brule's move to right. The "real" positions will be known soon enough.
Still, its nice to start the "my list" vs "their list" comparisons.
BTW the glossy and inexplicable guide that Cam slammed last year (name escapes me) is also out. I too would avoid it.
