The PHB comment is possibly valid, as I am not to up to date on Hockey, nor do i follow it anywhere near as closely as baseball. I do know that Shanahan scored over 40 goals last year, so he can't be too done just yet.
[ QUOTE ] Why are the Oilers saying hi? [/ QUOTE ] This was in reference to Summers(I think it was him) comment that they will make the playoffs, but are far from cup contenders. Just making the playoffs automatically makes you cup contenders. |

Fedor Tyutin is going to improve, and Karel Rachunek is an upgrade on Tom Poti. Aaron Ward should help out as well. While the Rangers defense isn't that good, Lundqvist makes up the difference - he's a top five goalie in the league.
The 'Canes and Sabres both advanced deep into the playoffs without anything resembling a #1 defender - the Rangers have a similar defense. While I think Marek Malik sucks (and Roszival too) - they played fairly decent last season. |

Will be fun to see what Vancouver can do with a good goalie for a change. [/ QUOTE ] Get him shelled nightly. Their blueline is highly suspect, they have 1 decent scoring line, and their early schedule (9 out their first 11 are on the road) is absolutely brutal. |

rangers biggest weakness is at center. nylander is ok at #1, but they are lost after that.

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I've got season tickets to the Canes, [/ QUOTE ] Please root hard for Tim Gleason. After 1 game, Kings fans miss him already. He was very good last night. [/ QUOTE ] He was awesome!! I thought Walker (from the Preds) would be the one to watch, but Gleason was all over the place! Hopefully, Johnson will work out for you guys pretty quickly. Send someone up to Michgan to break his legs if he doesn't stop with that college crap. [/ QUOTE ] With the Kings lineup, I'm afraid Johnson will stay at Mich. for 2 years if not 3 years. If he's as good as they say, he'll be worth the wait. |

CDN teams that miss playoffs Toronto and Vancouver and possibly montreal.
Most improved Calgary. Edmonton may be weak on defense but will score a ton. Ottowa not as good as before |

Now that the Pens have a new owner, I can officially cheer for them again. Not expecting much, but it will be fun to watch all the young guys.
Stall has looked pretty solid for the first 2 periods, Crosby looks like he hasn't missed a beat, Fleury is having a GREAT game and word is Malkin will be back within the week. |
