So what are your predictions this year?

What I expect to see this season:

• Buffalo vs. San Jose in the cup final.
  
• Leafs making the playoffs, barely
  
• Winnipeg fans showing the league they should of NEVER left!
  
• 3+ 50 goal scorers (Perry, Stamkos, and a surprise player)
  
• This will Brodeurs last season
  
• The Jagr experiment will fail
  
• Philly will regret trading Carter and Richards

What about the rest of you?

habs last chance to take the division (eff boston) cause after this year the redwings will be in that division with boston moving out and it's not going to be easy then...

i really doubt perry will score fifty again though, as much as i love him.

My prediction is Washington finally makes the cup final.

I've never even liked them but I think this is their year.

This might be the first year I cheer for Montreal because Boston is my 2nd most hated team now (besides Chicago of course). I actually hope MTL wins the East

Going to be a good year although I think the Canucks are going to have a slow start, we have a lot of injuries.

Watching ESPN Sports Reporters on TSN and some fool thinks NHL should ban fighting because three enforcers died this summer. Why don't we ban all physical contact and call it a day. I wouldn't be surprised if you are to look at the number of concussions, 75% or greater were caused by a hit and not from a fight.

This is going to be an 'ahem' interesting season for the avs. It could either go very wrong or Sacco and Sherman could turn out to be absolute geniuses.

I'm also picking Washington to make the finals, along with LA.

Oh and the avs will make the playoffs.

No expectations at all for the Leafs. but they have a chance of making the playoffs with some stars injured on other teams.

Oh I hope they do! Got the first win of the new season last night in the rookie tournament.

canada's team is back in action tonight (even though it only pre-season...)

Does anyone think a canadian team will win the Stanley cup this year? I honestly can't see it myself...

They aren't any better than last year, but if they have Markov for most of the season that will be an improvement.

I hope they can take out Boston this year if they meet in the playoffs again

there was nothing wrong with last years team, it was the same team that made that run 2 years ago (with a better goalie). the problem was they faced boston with only 2 starting d-men from their original roster... they had injury problems up the ass last year. cammi was gone for six weeks, gionta missed time. the only healthy hab was gomer... and he did well /s
