Anyone pumped about the hockey season ?
My team is the habs, Ive got a hard road to follow this year. I can only hope Theodore makes a complete return to form.
How about the Leafs ? They made some great moves, picking up Owen Nolan could be just what Sundin needs to lead his team into the conference finals this year.

YES!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait. I drove past the Blues practice rink yesterday and saw them going in. I'm so ready for this year. baron is back too!!!!!!

I like the Sharks, for no reason really other than they are the only team I go see live. I also like the Leafs, because they have Tie Domi, and Hockeyfighter hates Tie Domi.....

Hockey is a beautiful sport. It was actually the first and only sport I was into for years, alot of years. I remember the first game I saw was a NY Islanders playoff game in 1980, against Minnisota I think. Yeah they met in the finals that year.

Since Im such a long time fan Im kinda jaded by the new NHL. To me the new NHL is anything after the 1992-1993 season. That is the last great year, after that the trap came into play and started what we have now. Molasses hockey.

Domi blows and so do the Sharks. But I don't hate the Sharks...they just plain suck. The Hockey News is picking Ottawa to win it all this year.

I haven't been keeping up on the trades or anything this summer

Your Tattoo makes up for your lack of attention.......

Right. The Sens made some small changes and do look like a well rounded team. Who would have thought you could have a front line dominated by Europeans and still do well in the playoffs ? Not Don Cherry and not me.

Don't pay attention til playoff time. Go Preds, make the damn playoffs at least.

Look at Colorado's top 2 likes.
1. Tanguay - Forsberg - Hejduk
2. Kariya - Sakic - Selanne
No team in hockey history could match that.
But their goaltending is the question mark this year.

plus there blue line is one of the best

I dunno about that. Blake, Morris, Foote..then no one really, Skoula is nothing special.

Only if your history starts in 88.
Take a look at these teams HockeyFighter...

Oliers 83-84,85-86,82-83 and 81-82.
Bruins 77-78.
Penguins 92-93.

They all had major offense to spare, I can guarantee that they won't put up numbers like these teams did.
Those first 2 lines are impressive though.

The 80's was a write off. Rule changes and player development ensure those days are long gone. I would put Colorado's top 6 against any top 6 in history.

You guys have lost me now, back to MMA discussion.....

i hate hockey ..this is all

Leafs

We (the leafs) aren't going anywhere. Our defence looks like swiss cheese
