Season Preview : Eastern Conference







 Well this is it. The season is upon us, and many of us are starving for some decent puck. Sadly, we'll have to wait until after the first game of the "Face-Off 2010-2011 is between the Wild and Hurricanes.
Wow. Remember when exciting teams played in the first game of the year. But who am I kidding, I'm still going to watch it.
  Ok, anyways, it's time for some predictions. here is how I think everything is going to play out in the east:

1.Caps:Back with a vengeance
2.Pens: Crosby will carry the load and Fleury won't suck
3. Bruins: Extreme depth and Rask comes in handy
4. Sens: Hot, then cold, then really hot. In Murray we trust
5. Devils: John Maclean will make Jersey more exciting
6. Flyers: More depth
7. Tampa: Two words: Steve Yzerman
8. Buffaslugs: Miller barely carries his team into April
9. Habs: Too many questions
10. Canes: Ward and Staal not enough
11. Leafs: Six straight years of no playoffs, sad
12. Rangers: Why is Glen Sather still employed?
13. Thrashers: Thrashers on right track, but not there yet
14. Isles: They need a new rink
15. Cats: And you thought Toronto sucked

The fact that Ottawa is that high up is not only because I'm a homer, it's also because I think the East will be pretty close, and that teams like the Sens will get hot at the right time. The Habs will miss the playoffs because they think they are much better than they really are and poor Carey will crack under the pressure. I won't be surprised if they crack the playoffs though. I still want to see them play Ottawa in the first round.
