It’s going to be a scary weekend in the NHL.
You’ve got Halloween tomorrow night, obviously. The next day, it will be dark around the time you’re finishing lunch. And that darkness will extend to any team that’s outside the playoff bubble, because the dreaded Curse of November 1st will kick in too.
It’s a lot, and there’s no point running from it. So instead, let’s embrace the fear with our annual Scary Start team.
As always, this will be a roster of 18 skaters and three goalies, because there’s never enough room for bad goaltending on this squad. We’re basing our picks off of expectations, meaning a highly paid star putting up mediocre numbers will be a more likely pick than a fourth-liner doing fourth-linter things. In a new twist, we’ll mix in a coach and GM this year. And there’s a firm limit of one representative per team, because Canucks fans can’t have all the fun.
Embrace the darkness. Here we go…
