NHL 2005-2006 Season / 2006 Offseason Thread
How does everybody see the season going this year? Cup/standings predicitions, who's gonna win the scoring title. I'll post mine later.
|
Division Champs:
Northeast: Ottawa Southeast: Tampa Bay Atlantic Division: Philadelphia Central Division: Detroit Pacific Division: San Jose Northwest: Edmonton I personally think this is going to be the year for the Ottawa Senators to win the Cup. I have a great feeling with these new rules. My only concern is if Hasek gets injured. (ps I'm not saying this because I'm a homer either) For the scoring title I'm going with Iginla. |
Sens win it all.
|
Northeast: Ottawa
Southeast: Tampa Bay Atlantic Division: Philadelphia Central Division: Chicago Pacific Division: San Jose Northwest: Vancouver Chicago is my surprise team. Thye have last 2003 calgary Flmaes written all over them. Scoring title is gonna go to Joe Thornton this year in my opinion. IF by some strange reason the Leafs don't win it this year, it'll probably be Ottawa. |
Devils :cool:

I will only predict that Lecavalier wins the scoring championship this year.
And Montreal will last up to the Conference Finals. |
The divisions are so drastic. Like the Northwest, preseason any of those five teams could be in the playoffs, its just up to which one(s) choke. Same goes for the Northeast (minus Buffalo maybe). Then the Pacific is pretty horrible. MAKE SOME CHANGES, GIVE THE WILD A CHANCE.
|
The Wild had an eternity to make changes, but they remained totally stagnent during this "off-season". It's their own stupid fault for not improving their team while the other 25-odd teams in the league did.
|
Actually the Wild had a great offseason by not wasting money on any overpriced aging veterans. The teams with a bunch of stars, ie the Flyers, Avs, Wings etc., spent all their money on the first line.

Fuck you MoRcHeEbA

Tuomo Ruutu is gonna be an all-star

The teams who didn't waste their money are going to surprise.

My prediction for the last place finisher is the Rangers.

I'm sorry to disappoint everybody, but Ottawa is going to choke again this year in the playoffs after a great season, just like the always do.

I dunno if there is a point picking right now, the way the league is its all going to come down to which rookies/younger players step up
That being said I think Calgary and Vancouver are the two best teams in the league. and if Hasek is good then Ottawa is there too. Nashville will also win their division And St Louis will challenge for the worst team in the league |
i think calgary is horribly over-rated
|
How so? They have a goalie who should easily be considered the next Hasek. They have arguably the best forward in Iginla. Their defense is crazy good with Regher, Warriner, Hamrlik, Ferrence, Top 3 rookie this year in Phanuef.
Iginla on a top line with Amonte and Lankow will make that probably the 2nd best line in the league. Not to mention the rule changed basically all go in Favour of Calgary in their young ways. A force to be reckoned with. and im a canucks fan :( |
WOOO GOOo DEVILS!!11!!1

Nah, Calgary is a hook and hold'em type team. Watching them last season when they were in the playoffs, that was clearly the case. Amonte is nothing to be scared of anymore. Anyways, the smart pick is Ottawa, although I will not be shocked to see some team bump them right off. |
