Well its pre-season and hope springs eternal for most teams and their fans. I am looking very forward to seeing my Oilers, a lot of changes made. I think many upgrades have been made. I am nervous to see how things work out at the goalie position. If Garon can play like last year I like thier chances of being in a play-off spot.
Let the games begin!!

Thanks BB416 for once again giving us a playground!
It's gonna be a great season. Vancouver is going to suck, toronto is going to suck, and the 'Battle of Alberta' could be the best its been in many many years.
Of course the wings will repeat, but let the games begin.

PS Crosby is 100%. My little bro worked some of the physio with him this summer.

For the price of bert its a steal, if he stays healthy im sure he will have a good year. Sure gives iggy alot more room !!!
Im a Canucks fan and its lookin like it could be a tough year. Lots of good young talent but it could take some time before that pans out. Defence is lookin good and you cant go wrong with Luongo. Could use a top forward after loosing nazy, the twins turn off come playoff time or when the games are a must win to make the playoffs (last year) How about those leafs even there own fans are saying thay should through in the towel in order to pick up a top draft pick next year I know its going to be a transition year for them but it should be fun to watch

Edmonton looks to have a strong team on paper as long as mac T keeps pilonason on the bench and garon healthy we will be a top contender. As for the comment about Bertuzzi laying Hemsky into the boards well souray will pancake Bertuzzi , Would hate to see Bertuzzi loose his last tooth.

Well.....had a great fantasy draft hocky pool tonight.....I drew the #1 spot for all three choices...goalie, defense, and forward....
I made a mistake and for some reason went with M.E. Fleury for my goalie top choice...I shoulda just played it safe and went with Nabokov.
Did snag Ovetchkin and Lidstrom as my other 2 first round choices.....so hopefully that made up for it!!

The Canucks are now 4-0 in the pre-season and since we all know how well the pre-season reflects what will happen in the regular season, it looks like they will go undefeated this year
Actually, it may be a while before the canuckle-heads go on a run again so I figured I'd better take full advantage of this.

I actually feel bad for Vancouver. There's a good chance that their goaltender will be in their top 5 scoring leaders. Ughhh.

Thats impressive that Fabian Brunnstrum gets a hat trick in his first game. I remeber all the hype about him last season, lets see if he can keep it up. I picked him as the last player in my draft thinking he was a joke, maybe he will pay off?? would that be a nice surprise

from what I have been following on sportsnet about the coyotes and the NHL, the judge has been hammer the league. I almost get the feeling that the courts are going to side with Balsille. We will know soon enough I guess

I hope you are right BB and BigRack!! I have a feeling it will be Detroit again this year though. Too bad as I lost all respect for them at the all star game when they allowed 2 of there players to skip the game because they were tired. I think that was absolute classless!! These guy's are paid millions to play this game and when a player is voted in by the fans it is not right to not go. Stevie Y would have never let anything like that happen when he was a Wing!!

did you hear the news about Heatly, I guess he wants out of Ottawa. They are saying he wants to come to western canada. It will be interesting to see what happens there

And who would blame him, what a rotten couple of ORGS them Sens and Leafs are now, Heatly is a native Calgarian so he could end up here but I think wherever he ends up he will be Dynamite next year he still has a lot left in the tank I believe.....

I agree 100% about Heatley! If he does move watch for him to tear it up next year wherever he goes. I believe he is the kind of player that needs a change of scenery every so often to heat him up again. He has more than enough left in the tank and if moved to the right team may push for 50 again next year.

Why wasn't Ovechkin suspended for his knee on knee hit on Gonchar??
How about Stall and the Canes taking it to Boston???
Is it just me or does Crosby look silly in his little beard???

I think it all depends on which camera view you look at it from.......
The one angle looks really bad, however one angle looks like he had him lined up and Gonchar tried jumping out of the way, leaving just his leg left there to take the hit. It didn't look like Ovechkin put his knee out at all. Just my view of it anyhow.

Come now BB. Surely, I don't have to explain the obvious to one with the hockey savvy you possess...
