[Freak93]

I got extremely pumped about this earlier today. My predictions will be up a little bit later.

[cssource]

Cant wait got 10/5 all cleared up watching the Ranegrs kick some Capital ass at the Garden, nice predictions btw.

[Freak93]

Yeah I am pumped for the 5th. I probably won't get to watcht he Flyers game because I will be at roller hockey. I might have to ask the guy to blast the game on the radio.

[JacktheRipper]

My only prediction:

I won't watch a single game this year. I'm glad for y'all that hockey season is back. Best of luck to your teams.

[Joe Pa's Love Slave]

This Thursday I will be sitting on my couch after school counting down the minutes untill the puck drops for the Nashville Predators

I respect that. Most people are just extreme haters against the game.

[cooljayhu]

wow nashville in 1st in the west be realistic please.

[detroitbasketball]

Nashville could be good this year, and have a real shot at the division - and this is coming from a Red Wings fan.

However, my hope remains that we take the division title for about the 10th year in a row. Maybe not, but it sure seems like it.

[sprew8]

hmm wheres the habs. they will definitely make the playoffs so... get one of your eastern conference team out of there

[JackTheRipper]

oddly enough, my predictions are up at my sabres site (gratuitous plug now over).

The Habs were one of the teams I was really considering sticking in there. It's just so crowded at the bottom of the Eastern Conference I wasn't positive who to pick..

And as for the Predators, I think this is Vokoun's year. The Vezina is his in my mind...

This will be interesting.

[JackTheRipper]

If a team can get eliminated in the playoffs yet still win the Stanley Cup, I give them all the credit in the world.

[sprew8]

^^ haha

Man, i'm telling you guys, the habs will make the playoffs, and that's for sure.

[JackTheRipper]

It depends on 3 things: Huet's play, Kovalev's desire and Koivu's health.

I don't see the Devils going any where this year. But they somehow are always in the thick of things, so I guess they're still a contender.

And I just want to say this Sabres/Canes game right now is great. They're pretty much still at playoff pace here, and it's great. Let's Go Buff-A-Lo!
