  Hmmm and here I was thinking hockey was a team sport. Oh wait, it is. And that is why Atlanta can't win! Because other than Kovalchuk and Little, their team sucks!
  Tha Sharks are loaded but I for one didn't expect them to be THIS good! Especially when Nabakov got hurt for 7 games or whatever!

  I am pleasantly surprised on how well the young kids have come together so quickly and the coaching change no doubt is playing a huge role. We are talking about the Chicago Black Hawks] |

        Posted - 12/12/2008 : 14:13:41  I think it is the Tampa Bay lightning because they made many off-season moves to get malone, roberts and other players, but they still came out dead. |

        Posted - 12/12/2008 : 09:51:16  Half those teams aren't suprising anyone. The Leafs were supposed to suck, the Sens have been spiraling downward for a year now, the Sharks are LOADED since they picked up boyle and Blake, etc...
  The biggest suprises I think have been the Bruins, I barely expected them to be in the playoff hunt, and the Stars, didn't expect them to melt down.
  Oh yeah, I expected a little more from T-Bay just based on Lecavalier and St. Louis's combined awesomeness alone. |

        Posted - 12/12/2008 : 08:35:55  Didn't think they had the horses up front to score and thought their goaltending was good, but not good enough to carry though for a season.  DM   Vancouver |

        Posted - 12/10/2008 : 17:36:12  The Boston Bruins. They don't have the big names San Jose has yet they are ripping it up thanks to Kessel, Thomas, and Savard among others. |
