Edmonton had another undefeated pre-season (and to take it a step further, has started the season 7-0, admittedly against weaker competition). The logical conclusion is that Edmonton will win it all. a cool 66-0 in the regular season and then a 3 round super sweep in the postseason (it's 3 rounds right? that's a really rookie question). We'll call it 78-0 as the target. it's been an exciting time with a rush of rookies, new roster players, and draftees that edmonton is picking up the pace. Each of the newcomers has brought their own discord flair and zerg (artemious nystrom? spelling?) has really upped the ante with his custom emote game.

I'm not worried about jinxing it (not yet at least), because we've already jinxed ourselves to hell. a "66-0" emoji is now available in the Edmonton locker room discord (my request for a 78-0 hasn't been answered yet), and it is posted regularly during live streams. similarly to how the dugout isn't supposed to talk about no-hitter or perfect game occurring on the mound, if one person says something about it then its a jinx, but if everyone says something about it than it neutralizes the jinx. in principle I "believe" in jinxes in that if you are actually that good, you don't care about the hype and anyone who does is holding you back, not helping you build, and your sole focus should be on executing your responsibilities, but because that's pretty much impossible for a season as long as ours, in a sport as random as hockey, simulated by an emotionless (most of the time) computer, I'm happy to say "I guarantee that the Edmonton Blizzard will go 78-0-0".
