The only game in pre-season that has any meaning is usually the last game because all the regular players are in there. But in the end the first game that really matters is the season opener. Go Bolts ! Make us proud this year.

are you talking what it will be at the end of the regular season, before playoffs? here are my points (for anyone who cares):
-i don't think that Philly or the Rangers will do that well this year. they're both broken.
- Buffalo will make the playoffs
- Tampa Bay is stronger than that
- that's too generous for toronto
- calgary won't be in the top three in the west
- columbus won't make the playoffs
- dallas is going to surprise people.
so.....here's my prediction. i'm an expert, just ask me.
1.Boston Bruins

As much as I hate Montreal, they made a ton of offseason moves and will be strong again. Pittsburgh will once again win the Atlantic Division
1. Devils, traded away tomany good players and are relying on Brodure and a rookie
2. Rangers, Other than Lundquist who else do they have?
3. Islanders, well they are th Islanders
4. Flyers, made ZERO moves in the offseason and will one again get owned by the Pens,
Fuck the Flyers!

so gretzky's out, hey? think he has a future anywhere else?
seems crazy to think that all future owners don't want gretzky as part of the franchise. i don't know if he's a great coach, but he surely could contribute in a major way to any hockey franchise, i'd say.

This is what Pittsbughers think about the G20 Protesters, bet they never expected this to happen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aH5GX8FfXY
Even Aranchist won't fuck with hockey fans

they will be something to watch.
the defense looks much better than the past couple seasons, a fully healthy Mike Smith in net will be unstoppable and Lecavalier, St. Louis, Stamkos, Malone and Tanguay will be DANG -- wait for it....EROUS!
Unstoppable? You must be referring to the 35+ shots that he'll be facing. You're right about their offense though. Goalies are going to be scared seeing TB on the schedule this year.
Even last year with the poor defense they had , they didnt allow 35+ shots a game (28.5), so I really don't see why with the much better group of guys on defense this year they would allow more shots than last year. Mike Smith is a great goalie , he won't stop everything because he is just human but he's going to give Tampa a chance to win in every game.
