DatsyukownzU13 1 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Mainly started this becuase I wanted to see how many of you think that Columbus has a realistic chance at the playoffs this year. With the way Mason is playing I really think they are going to be competing for that 7 or 8 spot (they are 7 right now I believe). Mine: 1. San Jose 2. Detroit 3. Vancouver 4. Chicago 5. Anaheim 6. Calgary 7. Columbus 8. Dallas I have a feeling Dallas is going to sneak in to that number 8 spot by the end of the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrossoverThrash 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Jeez, it's only January, who the f*** knows? i think barring some injuries its glaring who will win the divisions, if vancouver can be consistent they have a much better chance than calgary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Listening to xm today, and like the last couple of weeks. A lot of the guys still feel like Detroit is the best team in the league. They like to call the Wings "slightly bored" during midseason, and "saving their gas". 1. Detroit 2. SJ 3. Vancouver 4. Chicago 5. Anaheim 6. Nashville 7. Calgary 8. Phoenix squeeks it out just passed Minnesota and Columbus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ComradeWasabi 109 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 The divisions are usually predictable except the Northwest, although Vancouver is a favourite now. The rest of it, though.. Chicago will make the playoffs. Anaheim will. No idea about the rest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Mule 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 When Sundin joins the Canucks, Vancouver will take a stranglehold on their division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miller76 463 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 When Sundin joins the Canucks, Vancouver will take a stranglehold on their division. Maybe on their division, as weak as it is. But I really have my doubts about what they are capable of with a player that has been totally over-hyped, and hasn't played for quite a while now. I think Vancouver makes the playoffs with an early exit, dropping to the likes of a team like Calgary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stormboy 47 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 too early to make solid predictions, but here's what i'm hoping for: 1. sharks 2. wings 3. 'nucks 4. flames 5. 'hawks 6. wild 7. ducks 8. jackets wings don't win the prez this year (or even the conference), so maybe there not as much seen as the "team to beat," though on some level they will be as defending champs. i'd like to meet the ducks in the first and dispatch them once and for all. sharks beat jackets, wild and 'hawks upset nucks and flames. we then play chicago...san jose wins its series, then its detroit and san jose in the wcf. that would probably be the hardest playoff road for us, but i think it would be very rewarding to beat those three teams. i wouldn't be surprised if the wild make a late season surge, nor would i be surprised to see the jackets trail off. in think the wild, the 'yotes, and even the dives have a chance at sneaking in. possibly even preds, but it's doubtful.
