See now I look at Boston with great respect. Yes, they have guys that toe the line, but, the play hard and don't dive, will stand up and fight you, they are physical, I think they are an honest team. Unlike the Pens who have managed to turn the whole league against them and their whiny owner...

I hate the leafs more cause of the idiots that call themselves fans on this site.

a playoff series will take care of that, and the Isles have guys that are hard to hate. Now, that being said, there will be some real expectations for them, and the Rangers, new format, the olive branch will be put away....just sayin bro
- Blueshirts4ever

Maybe for the first time in years Isles wont be predicted to be last?

NYR
NYI
Phi
Pitt
CBJ

Its a bad idea, especially for smaller market teams.

I think Isles Pens Rangers and Philly make it next year.

I don't like it at all. The only one who benefits is Detroit moving to the eastern conference with the time zones etc.

I think Detroit will struggle In the east.

Lets say that happens, Bos, Det, Ott are the best 3 in other one...that would leave the Caps, Tor, MTL, for 2 spots...not easy to get in

Oh well lets just set one thing straight here....I hate your team more than any other sports team that ever existed, even more than the Dallas Cowgirls. And I also still think that 1994 is the worst year in sports history.
But, my utter hatred for the Pens and their fans right now is brushing my Rags hatred off to the side.
That being said, impressive that your boys were able to come back from down 2-0 and win both games at MSG. Gotta give credit where it's do.

F the Pens!

Who are the big free agents this year? I have a feeling Isles will go after a winger for JT this year.

Mike smith and david clarkson...

So yeah not much

Andrew Gross @AGrossRecord
McDonagh calls Staal's decision to not play because he didn't feel he could help team "humble" and "gutsy."

If Staal feels that way, not sure we see him for awhile

I wouldn't mind Clarkson if the price was right.
