It is Tampa Bay....then everybody else.

That team is STACKED!

I see the order of finish as:

Tampa

Florida
Boston

Habs
Ottawa
Detroit
Buffalo
Leafs

With those bottom 3 possibly being flipped around.....depending how quickly the young guys in Buffalo and Toronto progress....

First post here folks and i know i am going to come off like a HOMER here but i had to point it out.

After saying the SENS "arent a bottom feeder" and than saying their forwards are not good (even though i believe the team was top 10 in GF last season) the write-up for OTT was finished with -- "I think the Senators have got the potential to get back in the playoffs and win a round or two, but that’s about it."

In what world can someone admit a sports team has the potential to reach the Final 4 in their league while simultaneously saying they suck and describe them as, once again "not a bottom feeder"....Just seems like you completely contradicted your entire analyses of OTT with that one comment.

anyways, thats my 2 cents. Let the hatred begin.

They were dead last in terms of shots allowed, and yet, if someone tries to tell Sens fans their D is "not good", they argue it.

You can't have it both ways. If GF is your measurement to say your forwards are good, it's only reasonable to say you've got the worst defense in the league, based on the converse.

I don't know why he says they can win a round or two though, making the playoffs is going to be a stretch for them.
