Ladies & Gentlemen.. The road to the cup begins!
Time to start our annual predictions.
The Wings more or less dominated throughout the last season, practically destroying The Penguins in the final.
Will this year be any different?
My money is on The Pens, as always.
The Wings are going to be hard to beat this season, as always.
Senators look strong this year, more physical than ever.
And for the first time in God knows how long, I think that The Caps might actually have a shot at the title.
As for The Rangers... I simply can't be optimistic, I'll leave that to vern. :p
Go Pens! Whoooooooooooooo!!! |

All my optimism went down the drain when the Blueshirts let Sean Avery go :whip:
Nonetheless, looking forward to the season |

Roenick, Ozolinsh.. Talk about getting old lolol.
Still I'd say you have one of the top 5 goalies in the league, Marleau and Thornton as centers. I'd be very positive if I was you.
Defense looks pretty solid too, is Blake signed? |

They're my second favorite team after the Rangers. I grew up a big Owen Nolan fan |

Remember seeing for the first time, and all I could think was, "Geesh, he got a big head" :stongue:

The Belfast Boy done good :D
I'm optimistic about my Oilers this season, we have some of the best young talents in the league and have added some experience and leadership in Cole and Visnovsky. Plus Souray should finally have his chance to make an impact after last season's injury nightmare. Pity we missed out on Jagr or Hossa though, that would have been awesome!!
The playoffs look like a realistic possibility and after that, anything can happen (a la 2006) :toocool: |

An Oiler huh?
Did you hear that Jussi Markkanen's four-year old fell out the window in Russia, and died. :(
Rest In Peace Little Man. :( |

Aww dude, that's harsh :(
Jussi came in when Rolie got injured in Game 1 of the 2006 Cup finals and performed so admirably for a back-up goalie.
Very sad to hear that...
One of my best friends from high school died in a similar way. He was studying in St. Petersburg to become a diplomat and fell down the stairwell of his apartment block from the fourth storey. It was around a year ago now :sadgreen: |
