I think the Devils stole hall and there prospects are coming of age the will make a huge step this year.

Sadly I think the Bruins got even less mobile and will be worse.

Yes, and the young defencemen they re signed suck. Turnovers like Christmas presents on Dec. 26th.

World Cup was pretty entertaining

And the leafs seem to have taken a million steps forward in the skill dept.

I'm expecting the jets to be in a whole different universe this year too

it was but makes me wonder how the Canadians do so well in events like that and didn't have one Canadian team make the playoffs last year? kinda weird.

just like football, i can't watch preseason hockey though.

wanna make your Cup final prediction now?

i'll go tampa bay and anaheim.

I'm not 100% sure but it might be because 50 percent of the nhl are Canadians and probably 90% of them were drafted to American teams and would rather play under the radar down south.
In all fairness Canada could have entered two full teams.

And the American team was selected for all the wrong reasons and torts is a jackass of a coach.

Preseason hockey is brutal but a good way to see the kids that will and will not make the big clubs.

Early for predictions but for fun I'll go
Caps/pens east final
Jets/ducks west

fucking winnipeg would go crazy if the jets made the finals. that town will blow up!

you know what else was weird? team europe had no right handed shots. they kept bringing that up and you'd think the coach would want at least one on offense for faceoffs. guess that's why i'm not a coach?

what is that in your avatar? engine bay of a a VDub? looks sick. what kinda HP does it put out?

The World Cup teams were all selected weirdly.
Team Europe and North America both surprised the shit out of me.
I also expected way more out of Sweden and Finland.

Ya my avi is a type 1 beetle engine with a Porsche 911 fan shroud.
2275cc pushes an honest 220hp roughly. Never had it dynoed or taken it to the track but it destroys my buddies 13second 5L mustang

Good eye:shock:
And thanks btw

I used to be big into the heavy hp cars and used to drive a 90 lx.
A few guys I used to hang with still build and race them but I've loved old school dubs since I was a kid.
Nothing quite like blowing someone's doors off with a lil air cooled 4 cylinder lol
My car would be scary fast if I got rid of all the stereo but I'm a bass head.
My next project is a 55 merc/Ford pickup. That's getting a 302 or 351 depending on what I find.

NHL has finally hit rock bottom.
2nd year 20yr old player @13.5mil :spew:
Sure doesn't effect the rest of the league or even resigning your teammates.
What a world we live in.

Athletes earning more per week then world leaders and life saving surgeons.
Just in time for free agency bingo day were teams line up for a chance to sign their next few buy outs.

Sorry dude but the hawks are exactly what will happen to the oilers now.
Everytime a player breaks out and becomes a star they will be traded the following year.
You guys just made the dumbest trade of the summer getting rid of panarin for saad.
Gross
Hate watching the NHL turn into the greed factory like the NFL and NBA
