    Detroit isnt going to make noise this year/season.  The Division is already settled.  I don't see Detroit, Ottawa, or Buffalo (or even Montreal) breaking through.  You got Tampa, Florida, Boston, and the Leafs.  3 of them in, 1 gets a wild card likely.  Other Wild Card very likely goes to the Metropolitan Division.  You have Carolina, Washington, and the Islanders.... who do you cull off out of that?  Then you have Pittsburgh and the Rangers possibly going for the WC.

    I actually like the Rangers to make a jump and be a top 3 team in the Metro.

    I think the West is where it could be really wild.
    Avs, Jets,
    Knights, Oil,

    I don't have a strong feel for 3rd in either division, let alone WC. 
    Say....Wild and Flames get #3 and Hawks/Kraken/Stars/Blues all brawl it out?  Can the Canucks step up?

    Please forgive my Det negativity, they are one of my fav teams. The 2 years I followed them close was the last year and year after the streak ended. My bro and I felt that the team had all the top players and potential in the nhl, but the system was hurting the team.

    Anyway, excited for hockey to start up again!! 
    Have a feeling during the playoffs this year an underdog or 2 are going to do awesome, maybe even win it all. (Or the Canes can win it all, always ok with that.) 
    My hope is Detroit makes the playoffs and knocks the make me laughs out of the playoffs in round 1...nothing would stick it to that shit franchise than having Montreal eliminate them one year followed by Detroit...better yet...I hope the make me laughs don't make the playoffs...

    Ultimately, a playoff miss would be pretty epic, because you would get a full-season meltdown by their fanbase and MLSE will be inclined to burn it all down.  That would un-do all the decent work that Lamoriello/Shanahan/Hunter/Dubas did and they would be going back to square-1.

    They are a franchise that hasn’t won since 67.  They are use to failure.

    Toronto might only have a few years left with this group.  Mathews has what 3 or 4 years and he’s an UFA…Vegas might be calling his name.

    I’m sure Toronto has a redeeming quality ( I’ve yet to see one…lol) … but I think I’d rather winter in the desert…lol

    I think Matthews would go to Arizona.  Leafs should make the playoffs with that roster, but personally hope they finish dead last.  Ha!   
    Wings will make the playoffs and be a surprise to the league.  Hehe my thoughts anyways
    Hamilton 9-13-05; Toronto 5-9-06, Toronto 8-21-09, Toronto 9-12-11, Hamilton 9-15-11....

    Season has started baby!
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    I don’t follow hockey a lot until the playoffs.  The NHL has the worst and least entertaining regular season…

    Too many teams…

    I don’t follow baseball or basketball…it appears all 3 sports seasons are to long.

    Breaking News…Nikita Kucherov has a groin injury.  Doctors “say it’s the worst groin injury they’ve ever seen.”  Doctors say “he needs groin replacement surgery.”

    Tampa Bay is confident he’ll be ready for game 1 of the playoffs.

    Thats too bad.  I hate to see classy players like this get hurt…

    Your salty tears are still delicious.  Crazy that Tampa has three cups in the time since the Habs have had their last.  But seriously, they tried valiantly in the Cup finals.  I mean.. they probably got a good snack from their parents after game four to make it all worthwhile.  It only matters that they gave it their best.
