i like the ducks, teemu selanne was comeback player of the year, YEAH! he kicked *** in the olympics and the playoffs. reunited with coach randy carlyle from the jets years i think they might be unstoppable. first year coaching in the nhl and his team makes it all the way western final, or semi-final i don't remember. they also now have the 2 best defensemen in the whole league. go ducks!
i do still secretly cheer for phoenix because of wayne and because im a winnipeger, im a jets fan. they have potential, last season they were significantly better then in the past, wayne is doing good things. i hope the gambling ring thing doesn't effect them, it shouldn't though.
i hate to say this, because i do not like them, but the oilers have a definite chance of winning the cup. the pronger trade only benefited them more and ol' rollie is ready to go. they are young, fast and solid. we'll see what happens i guess, i can't wait!

My hockey teams are San Jose and Team Finland.
San Jose will do OK although in order to win the Cup, they must 1) trade either Nabokov or Toskala and for him try to get a defenceman to replace Mike Rathje - they must do this; 2) get a guy for a 2nd-line center; 3) get a new feeling among the players. Because all the guys now there are good guys and they're good as a team, a lot of team players and that's good, but they need to be more dissatisfied sometimes, to battle harder in the playoffs, such as what Edmonton Oiler teams always do. With Edmonton the guys as a team, as Oilers, will always be stronger because of being Oilers. With Canadiens, same thing. There must be this.
Team Finland has no real important games until World Championships and Olympics again. Finland needs more good, big defensemen. This has always been their weakness.

Leafs are going back into the playoffs agin and they're going to be competitive. They've got a better defensive ebd, so now the forwards can conentrate on scoring more goals. Now that Steen and Wellwood have a year's experience they're going to play a mature and improved game. Hopefully Raycroft is going to bounce back from a disasterous last seaon and shine in T.O. If he doen't let's hope Tellqvist or Aubin can step up. Goaltending looks bright with Justin Pogge in nets for the Marlies. he should be ready in the next two seasons.

The Rangers could probably beat the Leafs easy enough, but neither will be contenders. There a bunch of real contenders like San Jose, Ottawa, Edmonton and Carolina, leadership will be the deciding factor as levelling is occurring. My favorite team the Peterborough Pete's will not have a great season, but every third year they build a contender, and every year produce quality NHL players. Staal, Ricci, Pronger, Yzerman, etc...

Losing Primeau and Johnsson won't help the Flyers win the division. They are too old or too young, lack a clear leader, are too big and slow. The only thing standing between the Flyers and their next Stanley Cup championship is "SniderClarke" and the 70's thinking. Good luck to the Rangers. It looks like it'll finish like this:
Devils
Rangers
Flyers
Pens
Isles

Hope your team does well this season. They had a good run in the playoffs last year.
Habs will go a long way this season. Huet is unbelievable. Can't wait to see the new and improved Montreal Canadiens. GO HABS GO.

my fave team is detroit. i don't think they will win their division or be at the top of the nhl this season. it could be the year that they get past round one in the playoffs if they make the playoffs. i think they will be second in their division and be the fourth seed in the conference. i think they should trade for nabokov. they need a reliable younger goalie. ozzie and hasek aren't exactly my fave goaltending duo. hopefully datsyuk and zetterberg do better this year in the post season if they make it. i expect to see datsyuk and zetterberg do good this season. i think they will do good without yzerman and shanny. new york is lucky to have such a great player and leader in shanny.

drampor>>>>> do the math buddy 1966-1967 to 2006-2007 is 40 years that's a long time and they still wont win ****, the Leafs have an even worse team then last year and they think from there two pick up on defense they have a team, Leafs fans no **** about a winning team.
Habs have improved big time and we are set.
GO HABS GO!!!!!!!!!!

Canucks--hm, I expect them to make the playoffs. After that, well who knows? I am definitely glad to see Toadtuzzi and Crawford gone and Luongo here. Still have fan fave Trev Wimpden so that's still not so great in my books. Retire already, Trev, will ya?
