NHL 2002-2003 Season
« on: October 09, 2002, 08:28:51 AM »
Lets see if this gets some responses so it can get stickied.

Tonight is the official start of the season!  woot!!  I am wondering who you think will have a good season and what players will do well.

My picks:

Western Conference:

Colorado
Dallas
San Jose
Detroit

Colorado winning the Conference

Eastern Conference:

Philadelphia
Washington
Toronto
Montreal

Washington winning the Conference

Just a few thoughts...

Eric Lindros will retire due to another concussion.
Kovalchuck will come close to if not break the 50 goal mark.
The Rangers will implode and not make the playoffs again.


NHL fans lets see if we can get this thread going!!!

Rangers (eat it)
Flyers
Senators
Canes

Rangers winning the conference

Wings
Avs
Sharks
Stars

Avs win the conference

Avs over Rangers for the cup

Predictions:
Most improved teams will be the Stars, Rangers, and Canucks.

Red Wings and Avs will be the two best teams in hockey, but I give the edge to the Avs with Forsburg back for the full season, and Yzerman out...

The Rangers will be better, and the main reason won\'t be Bure or Holik or Kasperitis.  It will be Richter, who is fully healthy for the first time in a long time.  Last year, he played with a fractured skull.

Yzerman\'s only out until February. He was injured for a month last year, and Forsberg was back of the playoffs. The Red Wings won in 7 :-D

All the Red Wings did was say goodbye to a retired Hall Of Famer, and sign a goalie that arguably has the same crudentials. CuJo will automatically make his worth go about about 25% simply by being in the Red Wings uniform, and the Wings will challenge again.

Western Conference:
Detroit Red Wings
Colorado Avalanche
San Jose Sharks
Dallas Stars

Western Conference Champions: Red Wings in 7 over the Avs :)

Eastern Conference:
Montreal Canadiens
Carolina Hurricanes
New Jersey Devils
Washington Capitals

Eastern Conference Champions: New Jersey in 7 over Montreal. Notice how I didn\'t even mention the Rangers? Because they still suck, and they\'re still overrated. Case closed.

Stanley Cup Champions: REPEAT! Wings beat the Devils in 6. That\'s when the wheels will come off...lots of people goona leave after this year :(

Are you honestly saying that CuJo is as good as Hasek?  If so, I\'ll laugh at you.

And the Devils blow.  They have only gotten worse, so I don\'t see how they will get further.

I never said he was better. Stop drawing your own conclusions.

I simply said that he, simply by being on the Red Wings squad, will be better. He\'ll be the main reason as to why the team won\'t miss a beat.

As for the Devils, quite frankly, I don\'t care for them, but hell, it\'s not like they\'re buying their own team. Lindross, Bure, and Kasparatis weren\'t even Rangers 15 months ago. Ho-hum, another failed attempt to try and buy a title.

Buy a title, or rebuild a team.  Tell me how many important pieces to the Red Wings team were there two seasons ago.  I know I can name some that weren\'t there.

Shockwaves - I wouldn\'t start accusing the Wings of buying a team since the Rangers have done the same for more money!  I hate the Wings most of all, but the sad fact is the Rangers spent more money last year and didn\'t even make the playoffs.

I will agree with you though, the Wings won\'t repeat.  Hasek wasn\'t even as good as he was during his years in Buffalo where he WAS the Sabres.  Yzerman will retire - he keeps saying he will if his knee has any pain.  To me that says he has nothing left to prove and knows its time to leave the game.

As far as Cujo goes, he has yet to win a big playoff series.  Even Hasek took the Sabres to the Finals.  

I think the Stars are the most improved team as well.  Getting rid of Belfour was the best thing they could have done besides adding a few quality players such as Guerin and Young.  I was impressed with Turco last night - and Roy.  It was a really good game.

As for the Sabres, I went to a pre-season game against the Leafs
a couple of weeks ago, and they scored 4 goals in the first 8 minutes. ( there were also 4 fights in the first period...)

I still don\'t have much hope for my boys, SI ranked them 27th...

CBS Sportsline has the Canes ranked at 7th and I know that is huge mistake.  SI hardly covers hockey anyway.

I was simply saying that a Wings fan had no right to accuse others of trying to buy a title.  The Rangers have spent a lot, but so have the Wings.

And I wouldn\'t say the Wings won\'t win it.  I think they have a great chance.  I just like the Avs a bit more, but it could easily go either way.

And the Red Wings beat the Nabokov-less Sharks in San Jose 6-3. 3-1 at 1st intermission, 2 of those 3 goals were shorthanded by Kirk Maltby :)
