Vancouver - Sedins are better than I thought and the goalie is the best...<BR/><BR/>4. Anaheim - Champs are still loaded... Minor hangover drops them to 4th...<BR/><BR/>5. Colorado - Joe Sakic still on the team? <BR/><BR/>6. Calgary - Great goalie, above average defense, but can they score?<BR/><BR/>7. Minnesota - The gum chewing coach always has his system in place...<BR/><BR/>8. Dallas - They make the post season every year, although this is their worst team in years...<BR/><BR/>9. St. Louis - I want this team to fight for the coveted 8th spot...<BR/><BR/>10. Chicago - Improved, but still not good enough...<BR/><BR/>11. Los Angeles - Great young talent up front, but lacking in all other areas... A year or two and several pieces away...<BR/><BR/>12. Nashville - They shouldn't have this franchise... The selloff was a joke...<BR/><BR/>13. Edmonton - You play in a mall... Too mnay trips to Victoria's Secret for the Pronger mistress leaves team in ruin... 13th at best...<BR/><BR/>14. Columbus - Can anyone picture this team fighting for the playoffs? I can't either...<BR/><BR/>15. Phoenix - Janet Gretzky places too many bets on Coyotes' opponents...

Right teams, maybe some order shuffling.<BR/><BR/>Two minor errors.<BR/><BR/>1. Iginla had an off year? 94 points in 70 games an off year? Pro-rate that to the 82 games Joe Thorton played and Iggy is 3 points back for 3rd place in the points race. Wow, what a horrible year.<BR/><BR/>2. Your total points is off. You have 85 more points allocated this year then last. This means there will have to be 85 more OT/Shootouts this year. There were 285 last year so you are looking for nearly a 30% increase in shootouts/ties? Not likely.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise not too bad!Dex Terhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01646206590187655012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024341463089279796.post-43842274006440035142007-09-27T06:02:00.000-07:002007-09-27T06:02:00.000-07:001) A clarification on our Iginla mention.

An e-mail mentioned that he had a good season last year.(94 pts in 70 games) We should have omitted the term 'rebound' and just said we expect a big season from 'Iggy'<BR/>2) Jibble: Budaj may come into his own this season. He looked pretty good for the most part last year. As for a possible trade for Bryzgalov, we wouldn't hold our breathe that Burke would want to have him stay in the same conference. What could the Av's offer that the Ducks need?<BR/>3) Vlad: We always can count on you to get in your love for touting goaltending.

I think goaltending will keep the Kings out of playoff spot despite improvement across the board. <BR/><BR/>And I think Edmonton will finish last, for the same reason Detroit's going to finish with the President's trophy...their division.<BR/><BR/>But overall not bad at all.Jibblescribbitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17833352311064492403noreply@blogger.com
