Two Guys Talking About Hockey

It's Showtime!

Can the 'Canes repeat? The season is finally here. I'll throw down the gauntlet for anyone who cares to comment. Here's my division winners:

East:

Rangers (yes, I'm loyal to a fault to 'my' team. But I really think this is a good group with a great young goalie)
Hurricanes (again, I'm loyal, but I think Buffalo, their closest division competitor, got worse, and Lightning, the former champs, will be close but not quite overtake the reigning champs)
Ottawa (hey, they got 'Canes goalie Gerber, so wouldn't it be interesting to see them matched in playoffs against 'Canes?)


West:

L.A. Kings (Crawford as coach and brings a real goalie to L.A. in Cloutier)
Detroit (they always seem to find a way, as does Hasek when he's taking his Geritol)
Calgary (Iginla has a will to win)

  • I like it: ny hurricanes. very cute.

    no Devils for you, eh?

    I'm not a big fan, but they do have some interesting players growing into roles with them. If Brodeur can keep playing like he's 24, they may do some damage this year (though I still picked Rangers over them for division title)

    I like Nashville, too. Good young team, though again, i didn't have them winning division. I may have to rethink my Detroit pick. More I read/look at their team, maybe they won't be able to keep pace this year. Dallas is another long-time contender on the fringes this year.
