NHL 2014-15
I can't believe no one has started this yet this year. Do we not have Canadians on this board???? I mean what the hell is going on here???? I am a lowly Islanders fan yet cannot wait for the season to begin.
Seriously though I am excited for the season to start. My Isles are very young, though many of those young guys got some solid experience last year, and may actually have a goaltender or two this year. I know they can score but putting in 4 goals doesn't do much good when allowing 5. Got tickets for Islanders-Devils preseason at Barclays for tomorrow and then back to the dump known as the Nassau Veterans Memorial Collesium for one last year before settling at Barclays for the foreseeable future. Tavares and Okposo were both top 5 scorers before going out to injury last year so looking forward to some major fireworks. Real shot at getting back to the playoffs this year I think.

Not sure how good you guys are going to be, but i think the team is going to be at least exciting to watch. Have a great season!
Btw, why an Isles fan and not a Rangers fan? (no offense, just curious)

Didn't have a team but was interested in the sport. Then a few years back they announced they were coming to Brooklyn. Had to represent.

a team to watch are the pens. new coach, new gm, new system. Scuderi said his ankle injury hindered him when he got back. picked up some tough guys Downie being one of them. vegas has Crosby 7/4 for MVP this year.
but goal keeping has to be #1 and that rests on Fleury.

Devils fan here.
Hurting cause no brodeur for the first time in 20 years.
Better offense this year?
Scoring always problems with jersey

What about the theory that without Brodeur, the other goalies can really not have to worry looking over their shoulder and not worry about the distraction.
They may be better than you think.

They do have a Brodeur on the training camp roster playing goal. Unfortunately his name is Anthony.

Isles just got two quality defensemen. With improvements in goal and now this, this team just got a lot better. Will be very disappointed if they don't make playoffs this year.

I have been a fan of the ISLES since Mike Bossy was on the team ---it has been brutal missing the playoffs year in and year out (since almost every team in the NHL makes it). The preseason has looked good .....we can always hope.

Finally hockey is BACK!!!! Hoping the Leafs make the playoffs with better third and fourth lines. Even if they make the playoffs I think there's a better than 50% chance Babcock is their coach next season ( I predicted this last season a red wing slappy strongly disagreed). Leafs need to bring the PK back to where it was two seasons ago. Prediction time....
1. Everyone seems to be picking Tampa in the East. I predict they will not be in the top 4 of Eastern Conference teams.
2. This is the Blackhawks last shot. I believe both Kane and Toews will earn over 10 million next season. That crushes a salary cap. Tip your taxi drivers.
3. Colorado will not make the playoffs. And will trade one of their forwards by the deadline.
4. Carolina will win the McDavid sweepstakes edging out the Sabres.
5. Valeri Nichushkin of the Dallas Stars will really come on this season. Dallas will really be improved.
6. Drew Doughty will finally win a Norris and his team will repeat as Stanley Cup Champions.
Looking forward to the season and the banter. Enjoy.
GO LEAFS GO!!!
