Well, this list of predictions may be a little late but that's due to me not getting a blog set up prior to the start of the season. This are the picks I made at the start of October however, and I have not changed them. So these are the picks I've made for the trophies to be given out in the 2007-2008 season of NHL hockey:

Presidents Trophy: Ottawa Senators
Prince of Wales Trophy: Ottawa Senators
Clarence S. Campbell Bowl: Detroit Red Wings
Stanley Cup: Ottawa Senators
---
Art Ross Trophy: Sidney Crosby
Maurice Richard Trophy: Dany Heatly
Calder Memorial Trophy: Jonathan Toews
Frank J. Selke Trophy: Rod Brind’Amour

Back when I was a stiff-upper-lipped little urchin in the crime-infested tunnels and rat-runs of Manchester, England, I was the victim of a strange and unusual punishment. I was made to sit in my front room, smiling in plain view for passers-by to observe, to make it appear that our family was a normal, happy gaggle. In Jamaica, this positioning of hapless saps in the frontal sections of cafes and bars is known as "stooging", and it is a common insult there to call someone a stooge. It means literally to be a worthless inanimate nothing, made to fulfill the wiles of another, usually the owner of a bar who wishes to make people believe that their joint is good enough for people to actually want to go in there. I was the youngest in the family, and by far the most mild-mannered. I didn't even knife my first clergyman till I was well past my ninth birthday. Consequently, I was forced to sit in the window to make believe our living room was a place that didn't contain a violent, drunken father, a brood of brothers and sisters, most of whom spent their time thieving and begging in the filthy streets, and several dogs and cats, none of whose names I knew, but who weren't $#@&*^% shy about asking for food off my plate, let me tell you.
