Come on people..4 days till the start of the season!!:boing2:

My top ten predictions:

1. The league will keep up it's tight reign on obstruction penalties..leading to a couple more early retirements a la Brett Hull.

2. The big A.O. will win the scoring title.

3. The Blackhawks will make the playoffs. But won't go anywhere.

4. Jagr will quit whining.

5. Sid "The Kid" Crosby will finally man up and quit with the Botox lip
injections.

6. Ken Hitchcock will choke on a ham sandwich.

7. Gary Bettman will finally get those elevator shoes.
8. Detroit will finish dead last in the central division.:flame:

9. Steve Sullivan+Paul Kariya+Jason Arnott= Nashville wins division.

10. Ottawa will once again be a flash in the pan.

You heard it here on MT first,folks.:ultracool

I'll still be pulling for my Hurricanes :)

Detroit dead last? Are these your top anti-predictions? LOL

I liked last season. Games seemed much faster and high scoring. I like the end of ties too. I kind of enjoyed seeing the new end zone lining, keeping the goalie in the box. I hated seeing them go out to the corners and dumping it deep.

Pay the man,Shirley.:ultracool

I am completely geeked about our chances,though. We look like an actual hockey team so far. Of course..our first game at Nashville will tell volumes about how far we actually went this off-season. Look for me to be in here on Friday for some unabashed gloating or sobbing.LOL

And yes,Lisa..it is that time again. WOO-HOO..let's go Hawks!!:highfive:

BTW..can't they legally revoke your Canadian citizenship for not liking hockey?:p

It's kinda like they would pull my CBH card if I didn't talk smack about Detroit.:uhyeah:

Plus with only 32 million people the Canadian Gov. needs all the GST, PST, and other taxes it can get it's paws on, NOBODY is getting the boot. LOL

8. Detroit will finish dead last in the central division.:flame:

AAAAHHHH, die, die, die. That's sacreligious you know :uhyeah:. As a Detroit fan for the past 35-40 years I have to argue with that statement, even though I think you may be closer to the truth that I would like to admit. I think Yaz leaving the ice and headed for the offices is going to leave a BIG hole in the team and we will pay for it this year.

:jediduel: I see we have a problem,then. You know the drill....just sit in the 300 level when you get here,will ya? I'm sick of explaining the new rules to "Diehard" Dead..er..Redwings fans sitting in the 100's.:p

Seriously,though..I think you guys have nothing to worry about. Ya still have Datsyuk and Zetterburg up front..not to mention Cheli (traitor)..and Lindstrom on D and oh yeah..some of the best goalies ever..I'm sure you'll be fine. Did Shanni end up somewhere else? I haven't heard much about him this year...just wondering.

Yay! Tonight is the start! yay!

I'm planning on watching the banner hanging tonight in Raleigh. Should be fun! I realize a repeat is unlikely, but hey, a guy can dream :ultracool

I'm so glad hockey is back! yay!

Hmm..looks like Nashville's taking a beating. Heehee.:angel:

Carolina as well..What gives MrH?

Leafs are looking tough..always a good thing when an original 6 team is on top. Their O is tied for 3rd in the NHL?!!! *gulp*

Flames are .500 Stupid Minnesota.

As for me and mine..look for tonight's game as the one when we take over the central.

LETS GO HAWKS!!!

I dunno man... took them a while to shift into gear it seems! It's awfully hard to repeat in the NHL. They won their last two, so hopefully they woke out of their slumber.

I doubt they will be coming out of the East. Last time they went to the Cup ('02), they followed up with a miserable season that got Maurice fired. I just hope they don't do something similar!
