If I edit the original post I will lose the whole thing...


BOSTONBRUINS
Prediction: Everything broke right for the Bruins during the regular season last year with the exception of Sturm missing a lot of time.There's no doubt the Bruins should be in the hunt in the East, even if everyone doesn't match last season's numbers. Boston, too, will have atarget on its back, clearly the Northeast Division favorite heading into the season. Sometimes that can be a dangerous scenario, but from what we see on theroster and the knowledge of how tight the locker room is, this could be the year Boston at least reaches the Stanley Cup finals.

It might be true

 

[DeadsetAce]

no worries ATFK...i just really wanted to read the prediction

as far as the bruins and my expectations, we'll go as far as tim thomas and the defense can take us. im not worried about offense, even with kesselleaving. tim thomas played way above his head imo, if he can come close to matching that, we should be fine as far as making the playoffs. from there, wellwe'll have to up our game just like everyone else.

 

[frenchblue23]

The realistic goal, as realistic as it can get, is for the Kings to just make the playoffs.

That is all for now.

 

[DownByLaw]

I am pumped, NHL season begins and MLB postseason is about to start. I will be ordering the Center Ice package today or tomorrow.

Btw Philadelphia isn't winning the cup, Let's Go Blackhawks!!

 

[philballa09]

Go Flyers

Gagne-Richards-Giroux
Hartnell-Carter-JvR
lappy-Briere-Pyroala
Carcillo-Betts-Asham

Pronger-Carle
Timonen-Coburn
Parent-OKT/Syvret

Emery
Bouch

loving the top 9 and the defense. Emery and JvR looking good. Jones in the ahl

nice work atfk and good sc prediction

 

[nothingtol0se]

not sure what to expect from the sharks this year.
saw them play during the preseason and i wasn't very impressed....
Hopefully heatley picks up the chemistry with jumbo and seto.

I'm ready for hockey

 

[lvjordan238]

Can not wait for Saturday. Ducks continue where they left off in the Playoffs against the Sharkies.

Hoping for a Ducks-Flyers SCF this year.

 

[proshares]

Once again ATFK, you're the man for this. Stoked for the season to start.

 

[gingersaintbad]

Cant say Im shocked you have Parise only getting 34 goals, but Gaborik getting 52?

 

[dmxfury]

Hopefully the champs in this sport will start off better than football. GO PENS!

 

[chewtoy112]

No Vancouver write up? Booooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[physicx]

Well with Lemaire I could see him going down to that range but Gaborik at 52?

He'll give us reasons that will make us believe him though.

If he's healthy for a full 82 thats very reasonable... I can't predict injuries so all of these numbers are assuming everybody ishealthy...

I thought Parise had 40g last season instead of 45g...His numbers will drop a little but I thought I had him higher than 34... I did this whole list a whileago.

 

[craftsy21]

Damn... can't believe it's starting for real already.

After last year, I don't know if I'm ready yet or not... such an up and down season, and then an extremely nerve-wracking playoffs and finals. It wasgreat, don't' get me wrong.. but exhausting

I just hope we don't start off so poorly again this year and have to rally down the stretch. No reason Pens should with the talent they have there.

 

[addictedtofreshkicks]

fixed Parise...

Let me know if I messed up anything else or I forgot anybody.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

No shot for the Sabres?

 

[scuse7]

Come on Blackhawks

Finish this year

No I get you 52 is just a little high for me I guess. Barring injury I could see him with 45 and 50 somewhere in that range.
