IF so, how excited are you for the new season?
It would be easy to pick the Wings to repeat... But my finals pick is Chicago vs Montreal. Montreal wins in 5 games.

I'm excited! I can't even think about the finals yet, too far away. But I am cheering on my Penguins, all the way! :D
Martin Brodeur of the Devils is within reach of several goaltending records, and he's only played for about 15 years!
Jen... If the Penguins can keep in the hunt until Gonchar gets healthy, they have a chance. But loosing him is a BIG blow. Also, when he comes back, he needs to hit the ice running.
I like the Penguins, especially after Fleury ditched the obnoxious yellow pads. LOL But with their D weaked as it is, they are going to need to score a truckload of goals to stay in games.
I hope they can do it.
Hey, I have to live vicariously through other teams. My Sabres, well, they are going to have a tough year I think. LOL
Smokey... If Marty can stay healthy for 3 more years, he is a cinch to break Roy's wins record. And a lot of other goalie records.
But he DID jinx himself a little. LOL He has a new mask design this year. :eek:
:D
Habs all the way...
Well really I don't know if they will take it all the way or not. they seem to have bad ju ju in the playoffs lately even if they are stellar in the regular season.

Well, it will be fun to watch them again this year, in any case.

Don't worry about the 3-0 score. The Penguins put a lot of rubber on net, but Auld was a wall. Ya got beat that night by a good goalie.Quote:

Malkin plays on the left side, right? If so, if I were the coach (LOL) I would run a left wing lock. At least with his line out there. If anybody can change directions in a hurry, its him.

Why does Detroit need wheels when they have Wings?
Yes, I know the reason.
Lost Angeles, Out of the cellar this year!:D
Did LA figure out who the #1 goalie is going to be yet?
They are still trying to figure out when to show up for the games.;)Quote:

I'd rather shave my lower regions with a dull rusty pair of Bauers than root for the Ducks.
That is another Orange County/Dizzyland abomination.;)
The Pond/Honda Center/Iceland or whatever they are calling the arena this year is a neat spiffy venue anyway!:D
