Random thoughts…

- A bad loss for the Predators on Wednesday night. Trying not to over react, but this team cannot afford to squander their great start to the season.

- Three straight losses have dropped the Preds for first in the division to last, from first in the conference to 8th. It is never too early to be concerned about position.

- The Flyers continue to roll along. A solid 4-1 win last night over the Rangers extends their lead in the Atlantic. I do expect Dan Carcillo to get attention from the NHL Wheel of Disciplinary Action after his hit on Ruslan Fedotenko.

- Don’t look now… but here comes the Canucks. Vancouver won their fifth straight last night, stopping the high-octane offense of the Colorado Avalanche.

- Pressure is building on Lindy Ruff in Buffalo. The Sabres are off to a very rough start, going 3-8-2 in their first 13, dropping to the bottom of the Eastern Conference.

- Really sad to hear of Zach Budish’s injury… he’s shown a lot of heart in recovering from injuries before… we wish him well.

- The Toronto Maple Leafs have come back down to earth and the angst is already getting to a fever pitch. After a 4-0 start the team now stands at 5-5-2... the reality is, they aren't as good as their start, they aren't as bad as their last eight games.
