Well that's a good idea Skerer, but I'm sure it will be more active when the season starts in full fashion.

edit- I just clicked on the top poster link and.. lmao.

Good idea lol we need more people in this thread =]

Yeah I tend to forget about this section of the forums. Toronto keeps failing in the third period this preseason. Looking forward to them stepping it up this year without Sundin (assuming he doesn't come back). Also Gonna be a rough game tomorrow unless Toskala plays his absolute best.

Did you guys hear Gabbys contract is running out soon and the wild might not resign him

There are rumors that he might be traded to.. Montréal. It would be against the two Kostitsyn brothers.. I talked to my roomy (he likes hockey as much as I do.. almost) and even though he loves the Kostits' bros, he would make the trade. Idk, Gaborik is easily injured so that's kind of a big deal. I personnaly wouldn't do the trade. Andrei will score 30/+ goals this year, Sergei probably 20. Add to that the fact that Kovalev/Plekanec/AKostitsyn are absolutely amazing when they play together and you have your reason why you shouldn't accept the trade. Anyway, rumors are rumors :/

Korrupt: You really think the Leafs have a chance to go far and be competitive this year? I seriously don't know man.. a good team has to have a good goalie and I'm not too sure about Toskala's reliability. Can't wait for saturday night's game ahah, should be a fun game to watch. (I'm talking about MTL vs TO).

I would not do that trade because Montréal already have a good offense. What they need is some good defensemen.

If toskala chokes, Cujo can sub in. Its going to be a rough year overall but I think they will manage to make the playoffs, only to get knocked out in the first round.

Damn Cujo still around lol.



Hawks open the season on Friday can't wait =).

My predictions for the Eastern Conference:

1. Montréal*
2. Pittsburgh*
3. Washington*
4. NY Rangers
5. New Jersey
6. Philadelphia
7. Ottawa
8. Carolina
9. Boston
10. Buffalo
11. Tampa Bay
12. Florida
13. Toronto
14. NY Islanders
15. Atlanta

Note that I might be biased because I'm from Montréal but I honestly think we have what it takes to crush the Eastern Conference. Stanley Cup? I really don't know, but I don't see a lot of team who can dominate us in the East. Washington and the Rangers maybe, but besides that, not really. Post yours!

Western Conference now:

1. Detroit*
2. Anaheim*
3. Calgary*
4. San Jose
5. Edmonton
6. Dallas
7. Chicago
8. Minnesota
9. Phoenix
10. Colorado
11. Vancouver
12. Nashville
13. St-Louis
14. Columbus
15. Los Angeles
