do you expect darling to be able to play the lions share of the games as the true starter?

He's going to have to. They didn't give him that contract to sit on the bench. Ward can be an adequate, if expensive, back-up, but there can't be any platooning between the two or we're toast.

Sens are a garbage hockey team that had absolutely no business being where they were.

Eventually Anderson will fall off a cliff and they'll give up even more goals.

They've got one of the best defensemen of all-time and.... that's basically it. The rest of the team is a mixed bag of supporting cast players and AHLers.

- BINGO!



You don't get to the conference finals by accident, F the Sens! but they will be good.


Anybody see the tornado (water-spout) on Lake Erie today?

Yeah you can. Hell the Devils made it to the cup finals with a junk team. Happens all the time. All you need is a group of guys to get hot at the right time. They were the only team to make the playoffs last year that had more goals against than goals for, and now they lost Methot for nothing.

I don't think Buffalo has the same level of depth.

Mind you I also think Ristolainen (frank)ing blows so...

EDIT: I mean he's a #4 guy being asked to be something way bigger than he can be. There's still time but he's gotta use his damn head because he gets killed out there.

- BINGO!

That Devils team had 102 points in the regular season (that year) tied for 7th best in the league...

I get what you're saying but I don't agree.

Boston doesn't make it next year IMO and Washington is going to make it but be a 7 or 8 seed

Pittsburgh
Tampa
Montreal (if Price stays healthy)
Rangers
Ottawa
Washington
Then Toronto, Carolina, Buffalo, Florida, Columbus fighting for that last spot (I agree on Torts)

Philly, Islanders, Detroit, New Jersey with no shot

Goalies go to die In Philly, The Islanders are a mess, New Jersey isn't going to be ready and Detroit well they're in for a long rebuild.

I do think the last seed will ultimately be Toronto or Columbus.

I really like Carolina's blue line but I don't trust Darling yet and the forwards are very young (plus truth be told I hate the style they play).

Buffalo will contend for a spot the following year, new coaches, new system and a very new top 4 is too much change in one offseason, but Jack Eichel alone can make it happen (he gets no respect but he will be a 75 point plus player next year)

Can't believe I have to watch Pomminville again. If he rides shotgun to jack, I'm out.
- Khmylev



If father time would allow it Pomminville would have a 50-60 pt season on Eichel's wing but he will be probably playing the third line unless they move Reinhart to 3C.

Imagine if from '07-'11 if we had the same team but Eichel or even O'Reilly. We went out and got ehrhoff and others. Probably not a cup, but definitely a few round wins

2012 Devils had HOF Goalie, Kovalchuk, Praisie, Henrique and the greatest D man of all time Henrik Tallinder......HOW DARE YOU!!!


I'd rather read about Gerbe's chase for diabetes than continue this argument.

i wonder what the realistic population of Pomminville will be.. i am thinking in the 10-15 range but probably closer to 10..

He'll play point on the 2nd PP. If his line is with Pouliot and Larsson, I'd say 16 + 22

I could see that, plus when injuries inevitably happen, he's RW for either oreilly or Eichel. Pommer almost always plays a full season

Currently see the East shaking out like:

Pittsburgh
Toronto
Tampa Bay
Washington
Rangers
Hurricanes
Flyers
Bruins
Canadiens
Columbus
Sens
Isles
Sabres
Panthers
Devils
Detroit

Sabres will fall somewhere around 84-85 points. Toronto and Tampa feasts on the significantly weakened Habs, Panthers and Wings. Columbus falls back to reality and Torts resorts to his old ways again.

I know, I'm biased.

- BINGO!
