Gutsy call on New York Rangers, Buffalo Sabres, and St. Louis Blue, Nick.

[Nick]

Very bold on BUF -> and I don't like it. NYR meh I'm calling for a different east; STL w/o much change I just don't see it, losing a #1 dman will have bigger effects then people expect.

[bills09]

Id be absolutley shocked if Buffalo misses the playoffs with all of their changes.

Lots of big $ changes never failed before? Not saying I have huge faith in that call, was just part of my over-all prediction in a changing in the East. However in all reality you can take the Leafs out and put them in


I think they have put more emphasis on youth, and their D core is lacking quick feet defensive-dmen for my money, not really an issue but it used to be a strength

That's a lot of North-east division teams there dude... though when those are teams you play 6 times a year, 24 net times a year; gotta be running the table outside your own division - although the math does work with Ott very bottom and SE low as well.

I can see Shiv being right regarding BUF #1, but i figure they'll either be rather good, the same or pretty shit. (wow did i say anything at all in that sentence?)


Personally I cannot see PHI being as good, never have i heard of a team trading their two leaders, #1 & #2 player (arguable i know) and improving the next season.

NYR...hmm... either stick to lots of D and Brad is less effective, or they switch style and then who knows! LOL not calling a team with unknown chemistry and tactics a predicted playoff spot.

[Shep]

Buffalo and Los Angeles.

[Nick]

LAK i agree, if DD signs soon LOL.

Man I think the Sabres are going to flat out dominate this year. The only position they need to fill is a C which I guarantee they will fill with a trade. That team literally has it all and plays the right style of hockey.

[Shep]

Sabres are winning the East, unless Crosby plays 70+ games.
