As for being newbie thread, its humouring that you say that as I am certain I could recall answers to hockey questions faster then you can google them.

And Colorado wasn't expected to beat the Hawks, but they did. How about Phoenix beating Boston? Columbus beating the Sharks?

You are vastly overreacting to a opening night win. NHL Network, Versus, and ESPN all showed highlights of that game - none of them made as big of a deal out of the game as you are.

Shit - I'm more impressed with what the Leafs are doing than the one win the Oilers had on Friday.

As for your "certainty"? I'm just going to stop you right there and say "not a chance in hell". And since we are on a message board and we will never cross paths in real life - we'll just move along.
