I think the Kings "improved" by not making any real changes. They re-signed Gaborik , re-signed Greene and let an admirable, but aging/beat-up Mitchell walk. They have such a good team and sometimes non-tinkering is the best course of action.

Good point.Plus the young guys are a year older and really only Williams and Robin Regehr can be considered old.

[quote=ctlbue796]Ducks, Hawks, Kings and Blues are locks to make the playoffs again in my opiniion.

Sharks, Wild, Avs and the Stars will most definitely be in the playoff race. I think these 4 teams will make the playoffs.

That's like Toronto fans bragging about all their cups..........way back 50-100 yrs ago when there were what, 10 or less teams in the league

makes sense, oilers are the worst run team in the league, and their fans are the least knowledgeable too. sens ahead of leafs? how can a lottery team be better than a contender? ahahahah thanks for the laugh.

No. He's just realistic. Leafs haven't even made the final since six teams made up the league. They blow with competition.

No. No they wont. We finished higher with older and much more injured players. Imagine how it'll be with them not injured and minus the dinosaurs of Samuelsson and Bertuzzi?

i guess it's easy for an oiler fan to not be surprised when they constantly finish at the bottom.

ya I've learned if your team is no good that you know jack about hockey.

post 5 more laughing emoticons to follow up your unsubstantial *retorts*

so what you're saying is, if the league expands next year and adds more teams, it suddenly makes all the cups that you're red wings won irrelevant? because now there are more teams than when your team won the cup? ahahahah see how bad your arguement sounds? god this is getting too easy, wish there were more knowdlegeable fans here to argue with. can't expect much from people who rank the sens above the leafs hahahah

oh, and since the only thing you can focus on is emoticons since you aren't intelligent enough to argue with, here you go kiddo:

My team is not very good. Has zero impact on my knowledge. Your team is slightly better. Has zero impact on your knowledge. I admire the fact that you have faith in your team though, although it may be a bit displaced.

I agree with most of this but I found those two a bit puzzling, not a big believer in NYR?


Edit: I'd say Philly's a bit low as well but I say that every year so what do I know

the oilers could have won the cup last year but it wouldnt have made a difference if you are ranking the sens above the leafs. it's okay man, not everyone can be knowledgeable about hockey. some people actually know what their talking about, while others like yourself just turn on their XBOX and simulate a season in nhl 14 to see how good teams are.
- sensnucksnocups

I expect a bounce back from Anderson/Lehner that'll compensate for Spezza leaving. OTT did just finish ahead of TOR.

Again I see instead of adding anything to the discussion you went way off topic to somewhere you thrive, lifeless insults

We all know the Leafs are going to win after they trade for all the players at the deadline.

Kadri, Clarkson and 3rd for Stamkos, St.louis, E Staal, Bergeron, Toews, P Kane, E Kane, Keith, Weber, Rask, your mom, and Giancarlo Stanton

Be honest, do you really think the glove was stuck?
