Today marks the biggest unofficial holiday in the Great White North...

My fearless predictions:
Dallas will suck major *** without Dave Tippett...and Modano is done after this season.
Detroit will not have the best record in the west.
Boston will be a disappointment in the east.
There'll be at least one team no one expects anything out of in each conference that'll be a dangerous playoff team this year...I'm thinking Buffalo and Colorado.
My Canes will make the playoffs...but this will be Brind'Amour's last year...:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

Detroit vs. Chicago again in the West finals.
Washington vs. Pitt in the East.

Detroit over Washington for the Cup.

Detroit may not even win their own division.

Used to be, they'd get some competition from Nasvhille, but in the other 24 intra-divisional games, you could count on them to get at least 42 out of a possible 48 points.

Last year, all 5 teams in the Central nearly made the playoffs. And with Chicago and St. Louis vastly improved since the 2007-08 season, that division will be even tougher.

And, don't discount the loss of a certain oompa loompa. Scott and Marc will know what that means. :D

I'll say it now. The Cup winner will be the team that defeats both St. Louis and Chicago in the playoffs. Central is by far the best division in the league and the winner will likely be the 3 seed in the Western Conference. Potentially 5 of the 8 teams in the West could be the entire division in the playoffs.

Grape knows what I mean. :D

More than halfway through...let's see how I did:

Today marks the biggest unofficial holiday in the Great White North...

My fearless predictions:
Dallas will suck major *** without Dave Tippett...and Modano is done after this season. kinda...sitting in 9th right now...but look how Tippett is doing in Phoenix...4th!
Detroit will not have the best record in the west. yep...currently in 10th
Boston will be a disappointment in the east. Kinda...in 8th and possibly missing out on the playoffs...and my Canes beat the pants off of them on my birthday last month!
There'll be at least one team no one expects anything out of in each conference that'll be a dangerous playoff team this year...I'm thinking Buffalo and Colorado. (Yes on both...Buffalo is in a bit of a funk, but is still in the hunt for the Northeast division...Colorado is leading the Northwest right now)
My Canes will make the playoffs...but this will be Brind'Amour's last year...:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( They just about went 0 for October AND November...and are sitting second from the bottom in the East...Brind'Amoir lost his "C" to Staal...but at least Carolina is finally showing some serious life...and beating up on some good teams since January 1st

Detroit vs. Chicago again in the West finals. HELL NO!
Washington vs. Pitt in the East. Possibly

Detroit over Washington for the Cup. **** the Caps!


Awesome pics from the season so far...taken by me in Raleigh on my birthday in January:

Wings have never gotten on track this season. Injuries too much of the equation, the biggest bright note so far is the play of Jimmy Howard for the most part.

Yah...Ozzie has looked like total **** when he's been in net. I dunno if Jimmy Howard is the answer, but he's a much better netminder than Chris Osgood.

Btw...expect Turco to go buh-bye soon...possibly to Philly.

Well, my boys just dealt Matt Cullen to Ottawa...so the next question is, who's gonna get Ray Whitney?
