 im liking the rangers and pens. and caps have some potential (goaltending sucks which will haunt them).
 
 on the other side - i have a soft spot for the kings - but sadly labarbera has never been the same since rehab days. wings look solid, and i detest the sharks - but must admit they'll go far.

actually... I think the Red Wings are still obviously the best, but the Blues and Blackhawks are improved and will keep up with nashville for second, columbus will battle edmonton for the western conference title of "at least we arent bad as the coyotes"

*sniff* That's a beautiful sentiment. Beers are on me if we ever see each other at the club.  :)  But even I, whose family still lives in Ottawa, can't believe the Sens will go that far without a) a wee little more grit and b) some questions answered in the net. The Sens need someone big - huge - on the D (like a Chara or Pronger). And you'll never win a Cup without a Class A goalie. The Sens will get to the top of the NE with Emery and Gerber, but I don't see either of them taking the Sens to the Cup. Bryan Murray is going to have to make a move at the trade deadline to get the Cup (and, personally, I think they should trade Redden for a rent-a-player and then use the money to resign both Heatley and Spezza).
 
 As a matter of fact, I'll give the Canucks a better chance to win the Cup based on Luongo. The Canucks need to score more than 1 goal a game in the playoffs for that to happen but Roberto can take them there.
 
 Other teams that can win the Cup based on their goalies include Calgary, Anaheim, and NYR.
 
 Sonick - the Pens? For God's sake man, the Pens? Really? Did you spend all night knocking back quart bottles of Laurentide and 50?  :)
 
 Me? I'll be happy if the Habs just make the freaking playoffs.

   Lets bring this exciting thread back, since the playoffs start next week.

  as i look back on my predictions, they are horrible.  but my Bruins are tops in the conference so i'll take being wrong like that, anyday!

I watched Anaheim on Sat and Sun against San Jose, and while getting the road win was nice, not following up with the home win was a bit painful.  If they remain in 7th, they're one and done in the playoffs.  Getting to 6th last night would have given them a fighting chance against Calgary, but Detroit and San Jose will wipe the ice with them.

I have been and it's been fantastic.  It's been fun to scout Kyle Palmieri...

And who cares if hooters has the NHL Network?  You should go anyway.

i watched a few early games while visiting family in canada last wek but have since haven't seen anything recently.  can't wait to get back into it tonight.  hope it's a good one.

agreed about hooters, but if they're not showing the can-usa game i might defer my visit to another night.  also, i'm still a little miffed that they dropped the prime rib sandwich.  only thing on the menu worth getting IMO.

bugsy's would be the other option, but i'm not in the mood for a 30-40 minute drive.

i called the local hooters, they will indeed be showing the game.  plus, my girl samantha is working tonight!
