I'm sure the Canucks will do fine to well in the regular season only to choke in the first round (maybe the second, if they're lucky) of the playoffs. Fingers crossed, as always. They've managed to keep most if not all of their key players this summer, although haven't made many new additions either. The defense could be shored up a little, but Luongo is still solid in net.

Assuming, of course, that he's alright after this.

That's not good.

Ouch is right! I caught a stick in the throat once and that hurt like hell. I can't imagine a slap shot!

I really think the NHL needs a shorter season, by about a month on either end.

Yeah, only if this rule applies to every other major professional sport out there. I mean, how much more can they stretch the football and baseball seasons out?

 

[Orintho]

With the Predators - I don't think they will do good this year. The team buy-out scare caused the Preds to drop a number of key team members. Not sure if they will even make it to play-offs.

 

[The Habs Fan]

I think the Habs' new jerseys are pretty nice

 

[Ashu]

Too bad they are the Habs

(sorry, I habitually have to put them down, father daughter rivalry blargh)

^ Most of the new jerseys suck, unfortunately. Florida's and Philadelphia's, in particular.

Agreed. As a Sens fan, I do like the redesigned centurion logo, but I hate the jersey itself--and what's with the NHL logo right in the 'neck' of all the jerseys? I understand the concept of advertising the league itself, but it looks really awkward there, IMO.

Well Sami Salo just broke his wrist and Luongo took a puck in the throat at yesterday's practice. Dammit.

Still waiting for that magical trade that actually makes us a deep scoring team because as it stands we have one first line, two third lines and one fourth line....

 

[Bedpan Elemental]

I expect Toronto Maple Laughs to suck air through their asses while their fans dream of a Cup run.

As usual.

(it's so depressing being a leafs fan)

 

[Ashu]

At least Im not going to be depressed alone.

(depressed Kings and Oilers fan)

I hear ya. I like the retooled logo but I think their old red and black jersey was much nicer. I think it works as a white version though.

Hmm.. I actually like both of the Senators' Edge jerseys.

no kidding! say it with me: "maybe next year!"

 

[Ashu]

I am going to an oilers/canucks game on saturday! yay!

 

[Seven of eleven]

I predict* that the Habs are going to win the cup this year.


*and by predict, I mean hope.

 

[Ashu]

You sound like my father.

Go 'nucks!

 

[Aragorn]

I had my fantasy hockey draft yesterday. I had NO IDEA who half the players were, all the players that used to be superstar first round picks were now mid-round picks!

I was completely clueless.

 

[Ariadne]

So... anybody want to Buy a Habs goalie?

 

[Garak]

^ That's pretty funny. You gotta feel sorry for the guy being buried behind so many good gaolies.


So I assume everyone saw the hit on McAmmond? OUCH. Pretty cheap stuff, but that's Downie's game. He's like a skilled Bobby Clarke. Can't wait until these two teams face off again.....

Went to the Nucks/San Jose game last night, man was it great to see some hockey again even if the Nucks looked a bit flat. Looking forward to next week, I'm like a horny little school girl.

Anyone got any predictions for the year?
