The Rangers are weird. A hard working team with little finish save for Gaborik and Richards and even then I'm not sure which Gaborik is going to continue to show up each season, the defense has one very good player and a range from good to meh and a great goalie. No way they win the division but I can see them from 5th to 12th in the conference.

James Reimer = Best In The World. YEAHHH beat those fricking habs. David Steckel looks to be a very great pickup so far. 75 percent of faceoffs won. And a solid penalty kill, something the leafs desperatly needed

James Reimer = Best In The World. After just one game, and against the Habs to boot. Let see doing it against a real team.

Kings 4-2 I'm going to bookmark this. You really, really shouldn't. Bookmarking this thread. Yup I know crazy predictions but sometimes the stupidest predictions are the ones that are playing safe by trying to mimic last years results. Who would of thought the NJ Devils would have that much of a fall from grace last year? I think my Western Conference Predictions are going to be fairly accurate but I admit I'm probably going to be terribly wrong with my eastern Conference predictions. The trophy winners I have a good feeling about and the Stanley Cup Final. The end.

I'm actually surprised how many of the so-called "experts" are discounting the Devils. They had a godawful first half thanks to team drama and a new coach, but the team seems more cohesive than ever. If Zach Parise can stay healthy and Kovalchuk and Hedburg are as beastly as they were the second half of last season, they're making the playoffs at least. Despite their awful start, they bounced back and nearly made it from last place to a playoff spot in one of the best comebacks ever.

It's because most of these sport experts basically just play things safe from last year unless it is really obvious if a team has improved or got worse during the off season. These sport experts have reps to protect.

1. R. Getzlaf F 2. J. Tavares F 3. I. Bryzgalov G 4. P. Marleau F 5. P. Sharp F 6. J.M Liles D 7. M. Richards F 8. J. Franzen F 9. J. Staal F 10. J. Wisniewski D 11. C. MacArthur F 12. E. Johnson D 13. B. Laich F 14. M. Streit D 15. T. Seguin F
Also, still pumped about out shutout win last night!! Can't start the season any better then that

Could Reimer be the next Thomas? That would be something.

I had class today, so I couldn't see the Kings game. But Kopi and Richards scored and Jack Johnson got us the game winner in OT. The heavy hitters are coming out early. Me Gusta!

I'm having trouble falling asleep, because I'm too pumped about being at the game tomorrow in Newark. Especially after how last season went, I'm beyond ready for this to get rolling.
Just wish I didn't have to get there from work, I wanted to make it in time for pre-gaming festivities around the area.

We should definitely make the playoffs this year considered we don't start 2-18 like last season. Opening up against the Flyers will be tough, but hell, 3-0 Devils! YEA.

my beloved Leafs looked great against the Habs. Shaky first period, but the boys put it together and got the win, Jimmy Reimer is proving to be a legit quality starter in the NHL.

2-0 Detroit over Ottawa mid-way throught the second period. Keep going boys!!! That's what happens when you try to play Detroit's style of hockey, against Detroit. I don't have much hope for the Sens against Toronto tonight if Reimer played the way he did against Montreal. I wonder if the Ottawa media will already declare the season over already should that happen. (Our local papers tends to over dramatize things if The Senators aren't winning constantly.)
