I too, would like to see Edmonton go. I also think the Wild will be strong again this year, they are a fun team to watch.

yes sir Ive been always been a hitch fan too, I like Elliot in goal for philly but can Giroux rebound. losing shenn will hurt . im not so sure lehtera will be a good fit but we will see. I don't know if he can play the physical east style. I guess the east will look like

east
pitt
Washington
rangers
Toronto
Washington
tampa
Carolina
boston

west
Edmonton
Anaheim
Chicago
Nashville
minn
dallas
Calgary
winnepeg ( I sometimes think LA) I go back and forth

there ya go riz has said it. im sure ill have some friendly comments on my rankings . only real thing we can agree on is are some teams are so closely matched up that coming out of the gates hot will determine a lot. good luck to all nhl fans.

OK that's it! I have woken up from my 0-5 pre-season slumber. Hopefully my Habs will do the same soon. I miss Radulov already.

Welcome to the room Goose and Riz...especially you Riz, living in Bergen County with me a little more respect for Club de Hockey Canadiens. Not even picking them to make the playoffs? I'll be looking for you on Routes 4 & 17 this week!

GO HABS GO!!

sorry bout that bud, ironically my boss is a candiens fan but as we chat the dee is scary after loosing some guys. price is great but ya gotta put a dee in front of em. I saw a preseason game and liked some young prospects like rivet ( or something like that, hes a little guy but man he is good) . markov and emelin gone but alzner is a nice addition. so many variables. drouhin hopefully lives up to the hype. they gave up a good prospect for him. ill give ya a 7-8 seed bumping out boston or Carolina on my list but that's it.

im on rt 17 and 4 all week, usually in traffic . lol
