Well, knew I was gonna have to deal with Zach Rinaldo this year but Jonas Gustovson (sp)
as well? Could be a long season this year. Correct me if I'm wrong but he's the guy from
Toronto with the brittle confidence?

Ya he was touted to be some saviour of a goalie in Sweden but hasn't lived up to the hype. He has flip flopped around the league since.

Fuck me lol. I've seen him play for Toronto and I've witnessed the
flopping first hand. Pure butterfly goalie that struggles keeping
square to the shooter and his angles.

I always thought he looked lost.
No idea where he was looking half the time. I feel for ya lol
Didn't bother me one bit when he walked away from Toronto.

Not feeling too good about My Rangers after a bad off season where they did nothing but weaken themselves.
I can't believe they could not get more from the Oilers for Talbot after they idiotically gave The Aging King
a long term contract. it'll be interesting to see if Babs can turn around the frustrating Leafs and my pick
for The Stanley Cup winner is the Lightning and Stevie Y….Time to drop the puck,man !!

Leafs cut setugucchi and glen cross from their ptos. Just no space for them right now in leaf land.
I really hope Devo gets a chance to turn things around somewhere he's a nice guy. Has had his issues in the past but he at least owns up to em

I saw that. Hopefully they will work on getting younger and those 2 guy's
have been around the nhl for a while. Rather spend $ on top tier players
and plug in some cheaper players. good luck TT!

I'm going to assume some team jump ahead and some regress so my early picks are
Stars vs flyers
And I expect the surprise deep playoff teams will be the Sabres and avs

i like the Flyers pick. don't know if our D is quite up to par yet. as long as we destroy the Pens all season i'll be happy. lol.
and since i'm in CO now, would love to see the Avs go at least second round. they have some great young talent.

I think provorov was the best nhl ready d man in the draft. They stole him. I'd have almost preferred him to marner but time will tell.
The pens aren't very deep beyond the top 4 forwards and they will have to out score everyone. Unlikely imo
Avs and sabres are stacked with young exciting players. Should be fun to watch every team but mine lol

hey stow,
you got some picks for the Cup finals?

I like the Wings in the east. Homer pick, but they have a ridiculous amount of young talent, finally picked up a good power play d-man in Greene, and have two good goalies. Washington will be tough to beat too.

I like St Louis coming out of the West. Anaheim will be very good too, but St Louis looks good to me.

looks like Lucic is still the same chicken shit coward he was in Boston. way to go Couture!

LOL ouch! Heard about the hit, he's gotta realize the nhl is changed. You don't get
a fight anymore just because someone get's you good.
As far as the Stanley Cup I think the Rangers have a great shot, would love to say
Washington but they never live up to expectations in the playoffs and in the west
maybe the Stars as long as they get the goaltending.
My Bruins don't have a shot without a trade for a top 4 d man. I can handle that
if they can give and honest effort every night which we haven't seen in a couple years!

i saw the replay. couture was laughing at lucic after the retaliation.
i think you and torontoke took dallas. i'm not too familiar, have to research. i know they have 1 awesome line and isnt' lehtinen still in goal?

i wouldn't mind st louis in. maybe they should sneak into the playoffs and then start playing good? hitchcock seems like a decent dude.
