NHL stuff.

I figure I might as well talk about what I see happening this year in the NHL. The west looks like it will still go through Colorado, Detroit and Dallas this year--but of those three its a toss-up. The avs have all-star ability at lines 1 and 2 but no real skill from the lower lines and a huge question at goaltending. The Wings have Hasek and perhaps the best defense in the game, but how much longer can Yzerman play like he has and they lost their biggest playmaker (and maybe their biggest problem,) Federov. Dallas is still strong but how will they fare after losing their defensive leader? I think the East is more simple...Devils play boring hockey..Devils win. I hope to god some team will beat the Devils, no matter how...Im tired of the damn neutral zone trap. Its not hockey, at least not hockey thats exciting and enjoyable.

The homer in me is mad tho that the Avs didn't take a run at Cujo, Burke, Khabibulin, or even Felix Potvin. I hope that Aebischer and Sauve are up to the task, because if they're not, we might be too far back to secure a good playoff spot (or even to secure A playoff spot).

That having been said...thank god the NHL's back.

Well, Snyder has died from his injuries. And the courts are considering upping the severaty of Heatley's charges.

Sucks to be him. I mean, such a promising rookie and then something like this happens to him. Hard lesson learned I guess.

...Sucks to be him? It's a damn sight better than what happened to Snyder...

Hard in a sense that he has to cope with the fact that he killed his teamate, a friend.

Well, bert scores with 8 seconds left to force the overtime.

Philly socres. I wasn't even expecting a point from the game so the OT loss is better than nothing.

Any boston fans here?

ah. sorry, havnt been checking here lately.

Yes, slow start for wings. its like half thier team is injurded. =( but hey, we will see who laughs last =) as long as we get our players back by playoffs it will be ok.

zetterburg should be back in couple weeks. and hasek is back from his groin injury now. I just wish hatcher didnt go down so early. he wont have much time to get to know his new team this year.

The Flyers are actually scoring goals this year.

We still haven't lost at home this year too, and that is always a fantastic adavantage. Esche and Hackett have been playing pretty well, but it still concerns me that they don't have a standout goalie.
