Haven't read through the gdt, but was anyone else impressed with Ericsson? I've never seen him so confident handling the puck!

3-0 Z x2 Weiss

Last year the experts expected us to be a bubble team, and we were, but I thought we were better than our record showed. Especially at the end of the year. This year the experts predict a first or second place finish and I have to agree with them. Boston seems like our biggest threat and they are going through pretty significant changes just like us I don't see why we can't contend for the eastern conference title and then some

Are they coming now for the preview thing? I don't remember them filming early in the season other years

It's nice to see how much Boston fans respect/fear us. "They get more fans at our home games than we do!" "They snapped our win streak!" Love it. f***ers.

Sad. He's a good player and deserves to have a job

Holland is going to trim down the roster, meaning he will trade away some of our 4th liners Miller Tootoo Eaves Emmerton I expect at least one of these guys to be traded away for picks

It's only one year and there's nothing wrong with having competition on the 4th line. Didn't we have 5 4th liners in 2008? Edit: that was assuming Cleary ends up on the 4th line. I don't really want Tatar to end up down there

Wow this team will be solid for the next several years

I like them

Or we could have taken him and iginla along with alfie and this year would be a mini-2002 haha He whines on rare occasions but I have never seen him dive. In fact, you are the first person I've heard who has called him a diver

What does this post mean?

Parise, gagner

every team plays 1 home and 1 road game against each team in the other conference. I'm looking forward to March 11 and March 25 at Columbus. Hopefully I can make it to at least one of those games. Also I'm REALLY looking forward to watching 24/7! HBO does that so well every year. They made me actually like tolerate Pittsburgh for 1 hour each week in December 2010!

Pound for pound- tootoo

They have to get rid of some players to get down to a legal roster size. Eaves tootoo seem like the easiest 4th liners to trade (for picks). Emmerton would be traded or waived because theres no space

Yes, and none of those guys are going to re-sign either! I'm so glad we got a stab at Perry and getzlaf this year like everyone said. Oh wait...

It's hard to predict anything in the playoffs, but I expect them to compete for the #1 spot in their division

I agree with everything except I think New York's defense is better than ours. They have some crazy young defensemen (staal, del Zotto, etc)This is definitely a solid team though

I agree about brunner. I wouldn't make the bobby Ryan trade if we would have to overpay as much as Ottawa did.

I know a lot of people don't like Sammy, and he isn't my favorite player either, but I think some of the hate is a little over the top. Before his injury, he was always good for about 1/2 a point per game. That's pretty decent if you ask me. In a 4th line role, I would love Sammy. Other than that we don't really have room for him.

Vinny plays a style that causes a decline. He's already declining in fact. Zetterberg doesn't. Get it? You say "kids these days" and then you post condescending laughter? Do I need to ask your age? Considering we have an illegal amount of roster players, i think its safe to say there will be some trades, and there will be cap space that opens up. So I agree with you.

I said lecavalier is worse NOW than Zetterberg will be IN 3 YEARS. I wouldn't be surprised if Zetterberg at 40 turns out to be better than lecavalier now... You were complaining about the ling contract for Z, yet you want to sign a player that's going to be like bertuzzi in 5 years. But you're right, the world is ending. You might as well jump ship now. I heard the Columbus bandwagon is the hot spot right now

Yet you wanted lecavalier (a player that is worse now than Zetterberg will be at 35) for 5 years

Just read that emmerton may be kept around in case helm's back acts up again. Makes sense.
