Well looky it's Mindfly's one-man team Sverige still awake. Tjänare!

Big game for Leino,hope he does well. WINGS 4-3 (Hossa,Ericsson,Dats x 2)

Atta boy!

What in the world? uk & Doggy on the same page?

Put Leino in then to show what he's got. You sounded a bit like Kelis there.

Great quality,once again!

I seriously doubt he'll make it,but keep it up Ville! Show 'em what you've got.

I think it will be decided between Downey & DMac as well. But you'd think they'd give Leino some chance to show what he's got (apart from the training camp),he's only got a 1-year deal so he's not our usual long development project. And Helm will be probably playing in the playoffs again.

Well,at least Draper did.

Tell me about it. They'll be more dangerous without the Hanta Yo-speech though.

Fewer chins,man! Fewer chins. Why of course you should!

I'm very surprised he cleared waivers. Edi's dream of the league screwing Burke over is 50% closer.

Willy gone,Lang gone = We'll win @ Wrigley Field.

1. Who are some players that will hit 50 goals this season? Ovechkin,Kovalchuk,Iginla,Heatley,Hossa and Gaborik 2. Who are some players that will hit 100 points this season? Ovechkin,Crosby,Datsyuk,Thornton and Olli Jokinen 3. The rookie of the year will be...? Stamkos or Turris if they stay healthy,but I think Doughty might have an outside chance too. I'll say Stamkos though. 4. What will be the cup finals matchup? Red Wings vs Rangers would be cool 5. Will Martin Havlat finally stay healthy for good portion of the season? Of course not. 6. Who (other than Lidstrom) has the best chance of winning Norris? Phaneuf,Gonchar or maybe even Mike Green 7. Crosby or Ovechkin... Who will outnumber the other in total points? Crosby 8. Datsyuk or Zetterberg... Who will outnumber the other in total points? Dats 9. Zetterberg or Hossa... Who will outnumber the other in goals scored? Gotta stick with Z 10. Can the Columbus Blue Jackets make their playoff debut? No they can't. Ever.

I voted for Zetterberg. He might score 50,but only if he plays close to 80 games.

I picked : Crosby - Tough choice,but watch him score 130 pts this season if he stays healthy. Lidstrom - A no-brainer,he's simply the best active defenseman. Kiprusoff - A little bit of Finnish homerism.

Great article and... ^ an excellent post!

Get it done Kenny!

No Perreault either. Western Eastern

None of those above,it's because comments like Valtteri freaking Filppula,pass me what you're smoking etc. in every other post. I don't mind if Filppula plays on the 3rd line or even 4th,as long as he's a Red Wing. That's all I care. So the truth doesn't hurt me at all. But I bet 5yrs - $3Million did.

QFMFT Except in every post...

Good read,but can I correct one thing... More like few hundred.

I know what you mean,it'll always be childhood heroes > players who are the same age or younger than me.

Most of my childhood heroes have already retired from the game,so it's definitely good to see Joe re-signing.
