Thrashers in the Southeast. I'll be happy just to make the playoffs. I don't have Cup hopes just yet.

Unfortunately we lost Heatley, but made some great moves to further strengthen the team. If we don't get Kovalchuk signed though, we're screwed. They better get that deal done, or he's going to stay in Russia and play. Sad

OT shootouts are going to be the best thing to happen to this sport in a long time. I can't wait! Very Happy

Eastern Conference
Atlantic: Philadelphia. If Forsberg is healthy then he can lead the team to a division title. Pitts has a great chance too with all their new faces. A old and injured Philly could lead the Penguins to the division title.

Northeast: Ottawa. The addition of Heatley is mind-blowing. Spezza ripped it up in the AHL last season. No other team will be close.

Southeast: Tampa Bay. A weak division still I think. Florida will be another strong team but not at the same level as Tampa.

Conference winner: Ottawa. If Hasek is playing like he can and Spezza and Heatley are playing like they can...combined with Alfredsson and the boys Chara and Reddon...These guys are all in their prime (except Hasek) and should take the conference title.

Western Conference
Central: St. Louis. I look at the teams and think that they all suck. Nashville is perhaps the most improved. Detroit's lost a lot. St. Louis lost both Pronger and MacInnis...I really don't know on this one...it's a crap shoot.

Northwest: Calgary. Conference champions from 2004, and they have gotten better. While the Canucks stayed the same (including stinky Cloutier), Colorado lost a lot, Minnesota did nothing, and Edmonton didn't do enough - Calgary has added a lot to their team.

Pacific: Los Angeles. LA brought in Roenick and Demitra, while getting rid of injury prone Allison. San Jose isn't doing much this off season. Anaheim picked up Niedermayer and Selanne so they may be competing once again too.

Conference winner: Calgary. Their defence is awesome. Their goaltending is awesome and with Iginla - Amonte scoring...should be a good team this year.

Cup Winner: Calgary. Goaltending battle between Kipper and Hasek. Kipper wins MVP.

Darkhorse East: Pittsburgh
Darkhorse West: Anaheim

Just wanted to add that I'm so juiced for the season. Can't remember the last time I was this excited about the start of a season.

GCool · Posted: Wed Sep 14, 2005 4:49 pm Post subject:

perhaps you would be more excited if the season was always once every 3 years Wink

I can understand why no one would be looking for much from the Thrashers in the Southeast, since they have never done anything but suck. I think a lot of people are going to be caught off guard by the run they give Tampa Bay this year.

Well I already have my tickets to the Oct. 20th game against Tampa Bay. I'm very anxious to see how that game goes. My expectations may outweight the result, but I still say they will challenge.

the rule changes and the new CBA means the old powerhouse teams aren't going to control the league like they used to. i honestly have no idea who will win out but i'm excited about the new season.

pittsburgh and boston will be tough teams. the kings will be good in the west. i think the flyers and maple leafs will suffer the most.

for me, an islanders fan living in rangers country, all i want is the isles to beat the blueshirts in the garden. i'll be there ...

I got high hopes for my Flyers, really. I'll be hoping they win the cup, but can't say I really know what to expect.
