Yea, after I asked the question, I had a feeling it might be too soon to be picking a sleeper. Although I will say that I have a crush on Chicago, I just wish they would give Huet a chance to take over, Khabibulin is so 1999. |
Im watching them now. I must say their 3rd(black) jersey is the best one yet. |

I hate that they dont show more games on TV. Would love to see how theyre doing. In general want to just watch as many games as I could.
BTW, for those that do want to watch games, you can watch streams for free on channelsurfing.net - although they dont always show all the games. Another option is getting a program called Sopcast - this is how I watch soccer on the weekends. |

| Buffalo has been most surprising to me thus far. |

| They have been good, but I cant say Im totally convinced, Miller and Vanek are carrying that team on their backs. |

Watched them beat the Caps a few nights ago, impressive to say the least. |

Most teams are carried by one or two players or perceived to be because of the form of standouts. There is no way that they can continue to the same heights all season but they can still do damn well. |

TEPPO!! 
Roy & Pominville were quite good too, which seemed to surprize the commentators even more than me. |

Vanek is on pace to score 100 goals, which aint happening, lol. |

No it won't happen, but he is finally playing to his potential and *shudder* actually taking care of his defensive responsibilities.
Lindy Ruff is a great coach, if he keeps getting the most out of his players, the Sabres will be a very dangerous team in the playoffs with a goalie that can steal games.
I had them finishing outside of the playoffs before the season, and while it is still a bit early to see if they are real (no depth at all, injuries would be disastrous for them) they certainly went from being a push over to a big blip on the radar for me. |

| Well, if they could keep this pace, then yea, they are a big threat, but I have my reservations about them. |

| Im having fun watching and all...but its all about whos injured by playoffs. That just ruins it for teams that "should" be in the finals. |

| As expected, the Sharks are shooting a TON at Backstrom, only so much he could do seeing almost 50 shots in a game. |
