I work for the NHL as an off-ice official here in Los Angeles and after witnessing the King's offseason moves (or lack thereof) I can say I doubt the Kings will make it too far into the playoffs.

The leafs (my team) have no chance at bringing Lord Stanley's Mug back to its rightful spot in Toronto :(

On a good note, neither does Buffalo, New Jersey or Carolina. :D

Argh! Two more months till hockey season starts again. I think my Wings have a legit shop at the Cup again next year with Cujo in goal. The biggest challenge will be getting used to the new coach.

BLASPHEMY!

I will give Belfour a chance before I crap in his jersey. I just hope Roberts get better quick and join the team. He did it last season, he might do it next season. The chances are not looking all that well for the Leafs, but you never know. :)

Hey... as long as we beat the Sens again... ;)

Cujo will fold ;) But seriously with the Wings Defense........... Cujo should do ok........... unless his confidence gets shattered ;)

Again, the NY Rangers spent a bunch of money. But other than adding Kaspar, they did absolutely nothing to shore up their horrible defense.

$9 mil/yr for Bobby Holik??? A 25 goal/year guy? It'll be fun watching them crash and burn yet again.

You bash the Rangers for doing "absolutely nothing to shore up their horrible defense" but then also rip on them for signing one of the top 5 defensive centers in the league by saying he doesn't score enough?

Believe me, I know there are a million ways to bash my beloved Rangers, but you should at least try to make a logical argument. In this case it's not hard. :p

I'm interested in hockey, it sounds like it would be cool.

Someone tell me why I should watch it... I'm curious.

I didn't rip them for signing him... I ripped them for spending $9 mil/yr on him! $9 mil players are guys who can turn a team around... Put it on his back and carry them through a 7-game series. Neither one of those descriptions fit for Bobby Holik.

Don't get me wrong... He's a hell of a player. But I can probably name well over 20 players who I'd rather have, that make less than $9 mil/yr.

Ridiculous amount of votes for Rangers not making the playoffs again. Seems to be the only DEFINITE thing.
Glad to be a NYer. I still love the Avs though (damn Sakic's wrister! I wish I could shoot like that!)

Hmmmmmmmm.............. Fluery may go to Chicago............ does not make sense.......... He says his first priority is to stay sober and that NYC is to distracting.......... yet he wants to leave one big city for another? How is moving from NYC to Chicagp going to be less distracting?

*bump*

very interesting that Fleury left chicago without a conctract their, if Smith (chi's gm) dosent get Fluery signed to get Amonte replaced (Berezin just dosent cut it) or do a good trade, and Daze dosent play as well as last year, i expect for it to be a long season there in chi-town. It looks like Berad is going to Bruins, i think he is a decent defensman maybe a 4th defensman at best on a given team, though sadly i doubt he will ever be as good as he was before his Eye injury.
