As much as I want Washington to win their division, I have a feeling Tampa Bay's policy of signing everyone in sight plus Stamkos who will be bigger than any of the new players since Ovechkin & Crosby will win it. |
no goaltending or defence.
you do not win with pure offense.
if you can score 4 or 5 goals a game what is the point if the other team scores 7?

watch your mouth wnen you are talking about my team...hell no they won't finish 11th. that's just embarrassing
also montreal at #1 again is extremely unlikely. it has been over a decade since a team finished #1 seed in the east back-to-back PLUS the points race at the end of the reason was very close. montreal and pittsburgh flip flopped a couple times in the last two weeks of the season. also that #8 position on both ends could have gone to almost anyone! i mean carolina found out they were out the last day of the season at the end of the last game. you can only say with conviction that maybe 6 teams will finish out of the playoffs and that is it. |
i don't think my predictions will be 100% right.
carolina is injury prone, and have been since they won the cup.
i am bias to montreal yes. The thing is, they won the conference last year, and then in the off season they managed to improve their team (exponentially...it is scary...pittsburgh lost guys, we added.) by adding 3 huge veteran players to balance their youth (this team is stacked and even if players get hurt they have seasoned vetrerans ready to step in...not inexperienced youngsters). They are going for broke this year, and no result will be accepted other than a cup. It does not mean they will win, but no one in the east has 3 balanced scoring lines that can produce, coupled with excellent defence and top tier goaltending. Pittsburgh is missing this. After the top lines things start to get thin for the pens. Defence and goaltending are stretched thin, and crosby/malkin can not play 60 minutes a game
the avs are about to enter a rebuilding phase. The bluejackets have tons of young depth due to finishing at the bottom for so long and collecting good draft picks. I will be wrong in a few cases i think, but not in these ones. If anything i think chicago will be a dark horse contender. The amount of young top tier guys they have might really turn heads if everything comes together.
fuck...why can't this season start now!
