So who will be this year's "Teams that made/missed playoffs last year that switch places this year?" EAST: The Devils, Bruins and Panthers will miss, and the Sabres, Lightning and Leafs (yes I'm predicting they make it this year) will make it. WEST: Blues miss, Stars make. The annual "Predict the Devils Miss the Dance" predictions begin! ...Though I guess they were finally right a couple of years ago...

I got the Canes winning the Southeast this year. Made a lot of big moves in the summer that I think will pay off.

Does anyone know of a good league wide podcast? I listen to the interviews and such from the Buffalo Sabres (WGR) website. i'm looking for a podcast discusses the hot topics daily or at least every other day.

PuckDaddy isn't too bad but sometimes the hosts can be a little bit annoying. Nothing too awful though.

Projected Devils home opener is the 22nd vs. Philly, a Tuesday night. Works for me, since I typically start work late on Wednesdays, so hopefully when my ticket plan partner gets the actual tickets I can luck into getting that one. I'm realizing how compromised I'm going to be this year: I'll have grad school two nights a week (albeit in Newark, and a short walk from Prudential Center, but my classes would run past 7pm game start times), I'll be running multiple musical rehearsals a week from here through about late March/early April, all to go along with my normal jobs. Really going to have to pick and choose my games this time around, so any Devils fans on this board, be prepared for ticket offers from me now and then.

Chicago's home opener is supposed to be against St. Louis on the 22nd. Between the Kings game and then, there's also a trip to Phoenix.

Also, ten of the Blackhawks' first twelve games will be on the road, as the United Center is booked up for Lady Gaga and then the circus.

I normally don't talk about hockey or the NHL, but there was an interesting bit on the sport-news this morning. A Vancouver fan has come up with a way to let the players and the owners know about how PO'd the fans are... dderesh.tumblr.com/post/39551578014/nhl-fan-silent-protest-first-period-first-home-gameThe idea is, nothing is going to stop the fans from going to the first games played, but if the fans stay silent through the first period, it would really send a message that they are mad. Spread the word!
