So they will barely win during their homestand? It's a tough one being that 2 are against the sharks and 2 are against first place teams but edmonton, columbus and LA aren't too worrying of teams

Edmonton and LA are really good teams, just because they are off to bad starts doesn't mean they are bad. As for Columbus, they're just one of those terrible teams that manages to win games that they shouldn't. 

But I seriously predict they will lose 4 out of their next 5 games. I can see them beating Vancouver though. 

Why am I not seeing Winnipeg on the list?? :)

Edmonton is off to a good start. I say they arent of a worry because of their second to last finish last year (only ahead of columbus). LA has the stanley cup hangover.

Anyway, the sharks have 6 road games in a row. one today and tomorrow and the hawks on friday and next friday and play again the next day. Hawks are winning at least one against them. Ducks are on a 6 road game stint. And will be coming off a double header from friday and saturday. The kings go from the Pacific coast on saturday to play a noon game at Chicago on Sunday.

Blackhawks will win at least 3 of the next 7. More likely 4.

Because they are 5 wins behind right now. That's 10% of the season

True dat.  But I gotta pick my jets no matter what.  Even if we're a borderline playoff team.

I seriously predict that an island will be discovered where the natives have purple skin, 3 eyes, and 1 nostril. They will live on a steady diet of cotton candy that grows on the island's trees. Seriously.

I love baseless, illogical predictions rofl. Yes, the Blackhawks who have one of the best home winning percentages in the league over the past 4-5 years are going to collapse on a 7 game home stand. A team that is 10-0-2 after playing 10 of their first 12 on the road and having played 9 or 10 games already against teams that made the playoffs last season are just mysteriously and for no reason going to start to stink.

They don't even have any injuries of note. 

But yeah, maybe your prediction will be accurate. Not because it's logical or makes sense in any way, but because even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

I'm not suggesting that the Blackhawks can keep up the pace they're on. No team could hope to do that, but to suggest that they are going to lose 4 out of 5 at home against teams they have already beaten on the road is a bit silly.

The presidents trophy goes to the team with the most points at the end of the season. You can think a team will win the trophy but think the jets will win the cup. I like the jets. Ladd and Byfuglien are on there

That is the only thing that i was thinking would effect my prediction. Even with an injury they should still be able to take 2 of 5

What makes any prediction illogical? It's hockey. This isn't like the NFL where if I were to say "The Pariots will face the Cheifs 10 times this year and lose every time"  Teams are a lot closer in skill in the NHL. But I guess if a team starts out the gate strong, they're indestructable. I'm sorry for thinking some good teams might give the Blackhawks a hard time over the next few weeks. God, I feel so crazy.
