2020-21 NHL Season Predictions

After long and grueling hours of negotiations, the NHL season is finally about to get underway. The season will look mighty different, with no fans in the stands and divisions that look all sorts of wacky. It will be one like no one has ever seen before, with the potential for interesting match ups in the Stanley Cup Final. So, much like last year, I will try my best to predict the Top 4 seeds from each division. Those will be the ones that go to the playoffs and compete for the Stanley Cup. At the end, I will declare my pre season prediction of who will ultimately lift Lord Stanley's mug.  Key: p - Best Record in the League y - Division Winner x - Playoff Spot Eastern Division y - New York Islanders  - Sure, why not a little surprise to start things off? Every year, it seems like the Islanders are going to break through and be a true Stanley Cup Contender, even though the roster may not be the best on paper. Last season, the Islanders went on a Cinderella run to the Eastern C...

How I Would Fix Epcot: Part 2

Image
Back in September, I started a 2 part series called How I Would Fix Epcot. It was a series that was aptly titled because I went into detail as to how I would fix Epcot. The name really is all in the title. In Part 1, I took a look at Future World and how perfect it would be if the higher ups at Disney World gave the park to me. And then three months went by, and many thought that the series would not be completed. Fear not, as like a phoenix from the ashes, How I Would Fix Epcot will be concluded. For those who are unfamiliar with the current map of World Showcase, here is the layout. And yes, I used the same map from last time, as it encompasses everything really well. World Showcase is very good, but there is a tiny bit of work that needs to be done. More specifically, my issue is what is in the pavilions, or should I say, what is not in the pavilions. Before I get started, yes, I will be adding countries. However, to go with traditional Disney vision, The American Adventure will rem...

2020 NHL Free Agency Prediction Primer

 Welp, what can I say? We made it! Before I get into where I think the top free agents are going to end up, I would like to congratulate the Tampa Bay Lightning on winning the Stanley Cup. I said Vegas would win around this time last year, accidentally jinxed them, and lo and behold, the Bolts are the best. Now go party like you already started to do. I saw all y'all at the Buccaneers game last Sunday. Now, free agency. Did anybody think we'd get to the point where players will be switching teams? It might be harder with, you know, a pandemic going on and all, but free agency will be a thing, players will be finding new homes, and the league will be flipped on its head. So, after the success of my list last year, I've decided to do my 2nd annual Free Agency Prediction Primer. All I will do is list the top free agents, and give my predictions as to where they will go. Not going to go into detail as to why I think they will go there, but just list my predictions. Also no RFAs...

How I Would Fix Epcot: Part 1

Image
I don't know how many people know this or not, but Epcot is my favorite park at Walt Disney World. It's not really even close. The idea of future and technology made Epcot so interesting to me, not just as a kid, but to this very day. Epcot was proof that there did not have to be characters or movies to make a great Disney park. All that was needed was some imagination and creativity. The problem with the future is that it is constantly changing. So, Epcot has had to go under several renovations in the past. Going into Disney World's 50th anniversary in 2021, Epcot was set to undergo a major transformation. It would blend some of the past, present, and future into the parks.  Instead, COVID-19 happened, and the future of my favorite park is in jeopardy. Do not worry, it's not going to close. However, it is in a state of flux, and we actually do not know what is going to be open by the 50th in 2021. I'm going to try and do a massive undertaking in this two part EJ Ex...
