I think sometimes we get carried away. But based off of his size, strength, and speed, after a Torts training camp I can see him being a monster.

Plus, I'm confident he can handle 2nd/3rd line responsibilities, especially when other guys like Gabby/Richards are being watched by top D pairs.

No sorry just my inner Thomas rage coming out

i thought i had boston like 6th? 4th, 5th, and 6th will all be really close to eachother this yr. if they dont win the division then they will be down there too many spots from the atlantic.

and im basing my judgement off our bolts team being better than the team that went deep a few yrs ago. much better. and our forward depth is insane. we have pretty much 4 lines of scorers and another line of guys from the AHL that should be in the lineup from our calder cup winning team. rookie/mvp of the yr in conacher and dman of the yr barberio. we are loaded with prospects too. i wish we would trade some of our fwds for more dmen cuz we have 3 scoring lines for only 6 spots and 3 bottom 6 lines for only 6 spots. id love to get a number 3 or 2 to slot in so brewer can move into the 5th or 6th slot where he belongs.

Ok even a 6th seed is crazy. You also have no knowledge of Rask, especially if you put more stock in Lindback than Rask. You do know Howson at the trade deadline wanted any package the Bruins put together for Nash to be centered around Rask. You really think it would be the same for Lindback?

if rask hadnt played 30 games or more before i might of said they will finish mid conf.rask knows he is bostons number one and will be for a while.boston is by no means an 8th seed in any way possible

deff had them in 6th. but if they win the division they will be 2nd or 3rd and that could be by a few points. just cuz i have them 6th doesnt really mean much.... the lightning were only 4 points behind washington for 1st in the east 2 yrs ago but ended up 5th cuz they didnt win the division. it could end up....

1. PIT 110
2. TB 107
3. BUF 106
4. NYR 108
5. PHI 105
6. BOS 104
7. WSH 99
8. TOR 96

see what im getting at? bos may get 6th but are only a few points away from being 2nd or 3rd.

Have you seen Thomas' numbers last year? Not great. And yes he has played more than 30 games in a season, in which season he stole the #1 starting job from Thomas and led the ENITRE league in GAA and Save%. And who else did they lose Pouliot? Have fun with him, we have too many young prospects looking to break the line up. Yeah we lost Zanon and useless Mottau, but we're also bringing up Hamilton, who is a beast, and will have our entire D healthy. So how can you think Lindback who hasn't ever played for you guys steals you a division yet someone who has led the league in those categories puts you in an 8th seed? please tell me

Lucic-Krejci-Horton
Seguin-Bergeron-Marchand
Caron-Kelly-Peverley
Paille-Campbell-Thornton

Chara-Boychuk
Seidenber-Ference
McQuaid-Hamilton

Rask

Yeah that's an 8th seed
- celata29

He lost the Vezina to Miller that year didn't he, Boston will be in the top 4 in the league next year. The goalie is the last line of Defense and I think Boston is probably the best on D.

How is your cousins esl class going?

Holy crap you are delusional. 107 points for the lightning and buffalo winning the NE with 106 (no offense sabres fans) and Toronto making the playoffs (again no offense)...you really have no idea what you're talking about

This is unreal

TB isn't that good, Matt Carle is overrated, look at him without Pronger. Salo/Brewer = old. Get over your team man, they'll make the playoffs,but you just got huge homer glasses on

im still not sure this is just a guess. bolts could be third with 98 points and washington gets 97 and ends up in 8th. you just never know with our division. but you understand that all these teams will be within a few points. i honestly think buffalo will pull it all together this yr. their team is way too good to not make the playoffs. prob is they will prob play an even better team in the first round even if they win the division... like if that happend and it was a buf/bos first round bos would win in 5.

I'm done, I just can't seem to comprehend you're rational. We'll talk at the end of the year. You have your hopes set way too high. Stamkos can only do so much.

actually when stamkos doesnt do as much we make the playoffs. the year he scored 51 and last yr at 60 we missed them. when he scored 45 we made them.

No because there is no one in the NE that can beat us. The Sabres are not a #2 seed either. You are delusional! End of story.

You mean to tell me the NE looks like this
Sabres
Bruins
Senators
Habs/Leafs?

Hell can a rational Sabres fan even back me up please? If the teams were reversed I'd have no problem admitting the Sabres would be in first.

cuz the addition of J. staal and corvo and loss of sutter and allen make carolina a playoff team.

bolts offense trumps carolinas by a mile.

devils dont make the playoffs this yr.

if the sabres come together and miller has another vezina worthy season, yes. thts how i see the NE. if he doesnt then no, bos wins it.

He's coming to hockeytown. Bet on it....

"We should have some idea this afternoon whether that's going to be possible or not. Depending on how that goes, we'll start possibly entertaining offers as soon as tomorrow."

Doan set today as the deadline to strike a deal with the Coyotes, according to a story by the Arizona Republic. That coincides with the due date for signatures regarding a potential referendum on prospetive Coyotes' buyer Greg Jamison's lease agreement.

Bross (Doan's agent) said 14 teams have expressed interest in Doan, the Phoenix captain who has scored at least 20 goals for 12 straight seasons.

Detroit is apparently near the top of Doan's list should he leave Phoenix.

"That's one of the teams he mentioned he was interested in playing for," Bross said. "I had some messages from Detroit. I need to return those calls. It's been a little hectic. I'm on my way to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game.

"It's a hockey town," Bross said. "The franchise is obviously a storied franchise. They're committed to winning. It's a great place to play. It's a good city to live in. There's a lot there."
