So nut the fuck up and get ready for another season.

Rangers are.. fast, soft, deep on D and have Hank. Likely a middling Eastern Conference seed.


Isles are.. young and talented up front, shitty D, upgrade in the net, still the LOLisles. Likely a who gives a shit, they're the Isles seed.


Devils are.. who fuckin knows. They have Lou, will probably win the East. Or be last. Nobody will care, seed..


Hurricanes are.. Have some Staal's. Stole the Whalers. Jints can suck my dick, seed.


Senators are.. Fuck you, Andy. Seed.


Leafs are.. Hi Sheppers! Seed.


Kings are.. Not a Dynasty. Fuck you. seed.


Sabres are.. Buffalo.. Have John Scott.?. Have another shot of crown royal, seed..



Whatever other teams BBI'ers root for, fuck you to.


The rules are;

Don't be a weeping gash on hockey threads..

Stop spamming me with your compromised email while you suck it, fish.



Anybody wanna fuckin go?

Rangers I could see anywhere from being 3 seed to a disaster. Outside of McD, Hank, and Staal, I just have no idea what to expect from so many guys. What to Nash, MSL, and Girardi have left? Is Brassard a #2 center? Do Stepan and Kreider take the next step? I could go on.

would have made the playoffs over Detroit easily if they had had competent goaltending (I showed the math using goal differential on an earlier thread). And of course they lost a superstar talent in JT for a long time. Really expect them to make the leap this year and be in the running for a 4-6 seed.

Devils I will not prognosticate on. I dont understand how they ever win.
Canadiens  
pjcas18 : 9/17/2014 12:13 pm : link
have a similar but slightly bigger team than last year.

Subtract Gionta, Briere, Vanek (rental),
add PA Parenteau, Tom Gilbert, Malhotra,

Huge wild card is Jiri Sekac.

they'll go as far as Carey Price takes them.

no super stars on that team, Galchenyuk could be one, but not yet.

Pacioretty scored the quietest 40 goals I can remember.



I can't believe Manny Malhotra is still around

PJ - noticed you listed the teams in alphabetical order? LOL....

Do you feel the new NHL rules of diving will hurt the Habs?



No, there are divers on every team, most of it is when the stick gets up high. Habs have a reputation for it, and non-objective fans harp on it, but if they do it more than anyone else it's marginally at best and I expect it to decrease as it gets called more.



"Habs have a reputation for it, and non-objective fans harp on it"

TRAINING CAMP TOMORROW!  
Davisian : 9/17/2014 9:53 pm : link
FUCK YEAH!



I think the CBJ will be very good this year. I grudgingly think the Isles will be up there..

And I think the East is extremely wide open.


Bruins, Pens and Habs are all very beatable.


I think the Eastern juggernaut this year will be Tampa Bay.

I hope not. Fuck those fucking ex-Rangers. Every single one of them.



#WewantahighSecondRounder
They have Bishop, Hedman and Stamkos  
Davisian : 9/17/2014 11:01 pm : link
Along with a stable of young talent that stepped up last year, then added very good experience in Callahan, Boyle and Stralman.


They'd be my pick to take 1st overall in the east.


Wouldn't mind if we invited Dustin Penner to camp  
Anakim : 9/17/2014 11:10 pm : link
Not that we have any room for him, but why the fuck not



I hope Tampa Bay is the 7th worst team, behind the Devils, Islanders, Penguins, Flyers, Hurricanes and Capitals.

Preseason's Monday!!!
AV said JT and Hayes will start out at C in camp  
JonC : 9/18/2014 3:40 pm : link
If one or both works out at C, we're suddenly pretty deep down the middle. Blueliners look solid or better, need a couple wingers to develop.
Hasn't Hayes played wing all through college?  
redbeard : 9/18/2014 3:45 pm : link
I know he played at the pivot in high school but I feel like he has enough on his dish without having to try to adjust to a position he hasn't played in sometime


Also, I haven't taken two different NHL teams to the Stanley Cup final so I should probably shut my trap to defer to AV
gingerboy  
JonC : 9/18/2014 3:56 pm : link
The blurb on SNY says he did play mostly wing at BC, I too would be interested to learn AV's reasoning. Here's the blurb:

2:06PM: AV said today, “On guys playing middle and wing, “I would say that versatility is a big bonus. In JT and Hayes, they are starting in the middle and as the camp unfolds we will look at decisions that need to be made. Nash on the right side, Nash on the left, things like that.” (via Lohud on Soundcloud)

1:02PM: Kevin Hayes and JT Miller are both opening training camp as centers. (Steve Zipay)

Hayes has played mostly wing at BC but played center during the Traverse City tournament.

Miller said that his preference is to play center but can also play wing. He said that center has started to “fit” him better in the pro game and while he has made strides, he still needs to work on his defensive zone coverage. (Rangers)
