TL10 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 What are your thoughts heading up to the beginning of the season for the NHL, a certain team, player etc. For me, being a Flames fan, this season will be very interesting to watch, as last season was a dissapointment to many fans, due to their shortcomings even though the team has major all star level players on the team. What happens this season will mostly likely determine the outcome of this team in the next several years if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dash77 Posted August 31, 2010 Report Share Posted August 31, 2010 The flames will definitely be better, due to the changes they made. But I think the one team that is going to surprise people this year is Ottawa. I wish Andy Sotton would have stated, but rthe addition of Gonchar will help, along with Compoli improving. However, I think Detriot will be back on top, assuming they do not have injuriies like last year. Modano, although older, will help them.

Kipper was amazing last year and look at what that got them......nothing because they didn't score enough. I think the Joki signing is the stupidest thing that Sutter has done, and hopefully it doesn't come back to bite him in the.......you know.Tanguay was a good move as Iggy liked him.I think the biggest surprise will be Tampa Bay. Not sure why, just a feeling. They won't win it all, but they will be much better than last year. The biggest dissapointment will be Chicago. They were built for a 1 year run and pulled it off. Now they are getting rid of everyone. Sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanguay on the other hand could offset this. He might just get Iggy and Joki back to scoring more goals. As for Chicago, they're going down the gutter. 'nuff said....one team that is going to surprise people this year is Ottawa. I wish Andy Sotton would have stated, but rthe addition of Gonchar will help, along with Compoli improving.

Detroit still has their old players and they won't be able to rely on them much longer, and Ottawa probobly will do better, enough for a playoff contender, but I don't expect any surprises from either team.

dash77 Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yes, the players on Detroit are clearly getting older. However, the Red Wings have to be the most talented and intelligent hockey team in a very long time. The way they pass (and puck control) is unbelievable. For Detroit, it will come down to injuries. There players, because they are older, will be more prone to be injured. If they have some luck and are relatively injury free (not like last year) they will win the cup again. If like last year, they have huge injury problems and are exhausted and have to play on the road right at the beginning of the play-off , they will only make it a round or two. But if they are healthy – they still have it. I think Chicago will still be extremely good (even without the 5 players they lost) but I also think the Canucks will be much improved this year. I’m a HUGE Toronto fan – I just hope they can make it to the play-offs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dash77 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 So far into the season I have been right about Detriot and the Canucks. But dead wrong about Ottawa. Any surpises by others? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted December 14, 2010 Report Share Posted December 14, 2010 Edmonton Oiler fans are very happy with performances from Eberle, Hall and Paajarvi. And now Omark has joined and there's increased hope that we'll have a great season. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
