The Pens will improve, so i would guess it would be Pitt vs Smashville again. I would love to see the Devils make the playoffs, but I'd also like to find a $20 on the ground to pay for lunch today
The Caps off season has been a shit show. Huge contract to three players and then not enough money under the cap to ice a team. They let Johansson go for pennies and protected the wrong guys in the expansion. They'll be good enough to make the playoffs, but cup aspirations are gone.
Oi...this was a painful year. Hopefully with the current signings we can either get lucky with some of the newer guys (read Hershey) finally showing whether or not they can play in the NHL or we'll be in purgatory for a couple years. I'm hoping we can trade Orpik and his corpse for something by the TDL...but not expecting much. We shall see.
Beside Hudon (who will be in the lineup in october, finally) and Mete, who's been playing with Weber for all of the preseason and get lots of praise at only 19, absolutely NO rookie is standing out. Bad.
Patrick has been ok, I'd be alright with him staying up but he prob should go back to minors for more playing time. He'll be a solid player though. Lindblom and Leier have stood out in a good way, Laughton looks like he'll be a perennial AHL call up, Hagg has been mediocre, Morin likely to start as a Flyer, Sanheim is definitely better than Macdonald but I have a feeling he'll start the season in the AHL. Travis Konecny is playing at another level so far in preseason, but G and Jake have left a lot to be desired. Provorov is looking like he may have his breakout season. Goaltending has been meh and Neuvrith looks like he's already dealing with a mild injury.
The season Dallas was the top team in the West they didn't win a single preseason game, and last season Colorado was undefeated in preseason, but they were the worst team in modern NHL history... So meh. Preseason is fun and all but shouldn't put much stock in it.
Last night was perfect example of my uneasiness about slashing penalties. Loosely called all game, then late in the third the flyers were put up a man on a very weak slashing call. Going to be a frustrating season for fans if this continues.
