Here's what wearing a bad prediction looks like

Adam Proteau at The Hockey News said back in December that he'd attend a game in civil war garb if the Blue Jackets somehow made the playoffs, and he ended up doing just that for Game 3 the other night.

A good lesson for any hockey pundit out there...

Too bad he didn’t see a better game…

That ain't nothin'...

Didn’t Pierre Lebrun say he’d run naked through the press box at the Stanley Cup Finals if Claude Lemieux actually played in the NHL this year?

Yuck.

More fun than a stick to the face!

And didn't James Mirtle say the Bruins would come back down to earth or words to that effect? I'm pretty sure I read that in one of your posts, James, when they'd won a lot in row and were in 1st place. There weren't any promises made though. No PB runs.

Hmm, they did go 6-9-4 there in one stretch in February and March.

The big concern with Boston is in goal. Thomas ended up posting one of the best save percentages ever.

Oh, OK. My impression was it was a comment meant for the season as opposed to the short run. At least I remembered it was you who wrote it! Points for that?

Poor Adam

At least he is always a man of his word.

Where’d he get that Ferret he’s wearing under his nose?

yikes!

He got that from the Coyotes third jersey I believe.

not sure if this should go here or under the Lecavalier/Montreal post, but Larry Brooks offered in his column to pay for everyone’s internet fees that were reading said column if Lecavalier did not go to Montreal on draft day.

That is some costume. Good on him for paying up.
