I think Carolina is still a team to beat.
My thoughts as of now, after the off-season moves and preseason outcomes. East (in order) Boston Carolina Ottawa (interesting to see how they'll do w/out Chara and Hasek.) Buffalo West (in order) San Jose Detroit (bias pick, one of my fav teams. not sure how they'll do w/out key vets.) Dallas Nashville --------------------  |

I think 2 of you have New Jersey way to high. They are STILL over the cap and STILL haven't signed Gionta or 2 of their NHL d-men. They are going to require a mini-firesale just to play their first game. They'll be lucky to make the play-offs IMO.
I'm not sold on Boston being that great. Carolina should still be near the tops. Tampa should be better. Ottawa will fall back some. Boy, thinking about it is tough. There's been so much movement. Really tough to try and rank. Guess that's why they play the games, huh? MoD --------------------  |

My prediction..... no one south of Niagra Falls will follow hockey.... as hockey has been relegated to the women's underwater basket weaving channel for T.V. viewers here in the states... is it me or is Hockey as a professional sport in trouble? Maybe it's just my perception since I'm in the South but if I'm not mistaken they didnt even show the playoffs on network T.V. last year......

Well, you figure the strike hurt them and then last year the NHL didn't get a deal setup with ESPN in time and ended up with misc games on the OLN. Granted, OLN did a great job in the playoffs... but regular season sucked.
I think last year's revamp with scoring up, new exciting players, and better referee calls made a huge difference and could help the sport a lot. -------------------- |

Damn i can't wait for the 1st showing of HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA! GO LEAFS GO! Yes it's true, i'm one of those die hard leaf fans who has not lost all hope, especially seeing as they now have a chance to be a team as they have deleted one of there biggest flaws; Pat Quinn!
As far as cup hopefull, I'm just praying they make the playoffs! ps- My favourite player in hockey was also let go by the leafs and forced into retirement! Hats off to a true warrior!  --------------------  |

Nobody have mentioned Phoenix. I think this could be their season.
With new players as Jovanovsky, Nolan, Roenick (+ fighting machine Laraque) they are in my opinion underestimated by experts. We'll see.... To Crazy Canuck......I see in your pic that Domi is beating the shit out of Pandolfo I think....No good - Devils is my favorite team. If Domi wanted som real action he should challenged Stevens before he retired   -------------------- Members Of Barbarossa |

Ofcourse Phoenix looks good, or atleast better, on paper. I've noticed that Gretsky keeps pulling players over to Phoenix kind of after their prime... guys he knows. Not sure if that will work for him down the road. Nolan didn't even play last year, Roenick is still strong... but how far can he go if he's carrying the team? Laraque? I think they could've gone better with Chris Simon, atleast you have a scoring potential.
All and all, every team looks decent at the beginning of the season... hell, even my Caps have looked good in preseason so far. As much as I'd love for them to play well and make the playoffs, I'm realistic and understand that they don't have the same punch as other teams in the league and will most likely be a bottom feeder from December on. Ovechkin is still too fun to watch though, he makes the games worth going to. He's like an X games athlete, you never know what he's going to do. Sweet Ovechkin Highlight Clip -------------------- |
