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?
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.
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.
Agreed, and their talent level across the board is not top-tier.
what's harder to believe is by swapping out Andrei Markov for Malhotra the habs got younger.

really improve and it took a miracle to reach the conference finals, they're not winning the cup.
Bruins, Blackhawks, Kings, Penguins, and of course the Canadiens all better teams easily than the Rangers.
blues, sharks and avs slightly better.
Voice of reason right there..........
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"
Boy am I enjoying the irony of that statement ...pure gold.

irony doesn't mean what you think it means. I'm not sure gold means what you think it means either.
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.

They'd be my pick to take 1st overall in the east.
I hope Tampa Bay is the 7th worst team, behind the Devils, Islanders, Penguins, Flyers, Hurricanes and Capitals.
Yeah, but it couldn't hurt. Why not? I mean we already have a few retreads in Lombardi and Malone. One more couldn't hurt. Haha
Preseason's Monday!!!
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
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)

I said that a few weeks ago regarding TB, fuckface. Get on my level.
Probably Boychuck.
they're over the cap.
Start a new one that may have less stupid in it. Thanks Ian.
says the asshole fan
Michael Del Zotto is excited to play the Rangers
And the Rangers are REALLY excited to play Michael Del Zotto
people who use the word insufferable are pretty high on the douchebag scale themselves.

Oh fuck it... ok drop the puck.
A lot of those thoughts were the same thing said five different ways.
I've been incrementally positive about the off-season moves over recent days, including Boyle. I'm ready for the season to start.

How about incongruous? Does that resonate and is it a shiny enough nugget of gold to see from where you sit?
I'll see you in court.
