looks to be a great year. not doing predictions... too long a season.. too many (ahem.. Caps) can look great for 6,7,8 months then fall apart as spring comes.  Even more so than baseball.. it is all about being hot at the right time and having a goaltender that carry you to the finish line. Nice to see a heartbeat in the Oiler franchise though...

^ Yes, the East looks loaded for bear this season. Those 3 will probably beat each other to a pulp and none of them will advance far in the playoffs .
Game On!

Amazing feat by Matthews in his first game. Made the opening headlines in that 4 letter sports network's talking heads this morning, good for hockey!

  so begins another season which will lead to mass consumption and breaking of hearts.. ie ... the Ovechkin era of Washington hockey. that said.. man oh man does the East look loaded this year. In particular the Metro division... can wait to watch the Rangers, Caps and Pens slug it out not only for the Division title.. but the President's Cup. Good start by the Habs.... I have my over/under on their eventual collapse at mid-January.

For long suffering Blue Jackets’ fans, the scene at Nationwide Arena on Friday night was 2˝ hours of euphoria and incredulity. Is this really happening? The Blue Jackets beat the Montreal Canadiens 10-0 — that is not a typo — before a stunned, celebratory crowd of 14,436. In the future, thousands more will claim to have paid witness. It was that kind of night.

Hate to jinx it, and I know it's early but the rangers offense is looking incredibly strong right now. They are fast and ferocious!

Being Norwegian, I hope Zucca is able to continue his stellar play from last season after being robbed for the Masterton trophy.

The Red Wings' season is all about trying to keep the playoff streak alive. Best bet is that this is the year that it ends. Datsyuk has retired from the NHL to move back and play in Russia and too much money is tied up in great players on the downside of the hill. Zetterberg, Kronwall, Franzen, and Ericsson all afflicted with various chronic injuries that will severely limit their effectiveness this year. A 6-1-1 preseason may give some hope and there is a lot of good youth on the team so with any luck they can repeat last year and sneak into the playoffs again.

Hockey officially starts tonight! (or has started already...) A. Matthews starts his career with four goals in his first ever game. And because it's the Leafs they lose in OT.  Looking forward to the blueshirts kicking off soon. Predictions? Hopes? Etc?
