The Sedins have no heart, and Luongo becomes a sieve when the pressure is on. They won't win. 

My top 3 picks to win it are (objectively, no favortism):

- Bruins repeat as champs. Very possible if Timmy Thomas continues to be a brick wall

- LA Kings. Only lost to the Sharks because Kopitar got injured at the end of the season. They have him back plus they improved greatly in the off-season getting Mike Richards. And Bernier/Quick is a solid goalie combo.

- Lightning. Stamkos/Lecavalier/St. Louis 'nuff said. Goaltending is their only weakness. 

I'm so happy for the Peg. Watching the intro before the game on HNIC brought a tear of happiness.

Colorado shuts out the Stanley cup Champions. Looks like we have improved were we wanted it on defense and in the net. I always thought the bruins got more than a little lucky winning the championship through so many game sevens.

Edit:  Posts are subjective as objectivity is impossible. :P

Yeah, I dont mean to take anything away from a good run through the championship. No one has really talked about the current season yet so I had to try to get it going. I don't know what to expect out of Colorado as they were winning the division or tied with Vancouver for the first half of last season. Then they started losing and their youth showed and it became habitual. What will be a good sign is if they can grow from that experience and start winning like they did early last season. The parity in the league it too strong in my opinion, the last team to win the Championship two times in a row was Detriot. This current period of hockey is the longest drought of repeat champions in the sports history. It is good to give every tam a chance, but when every year the teams making the playoffs change a lot there is too much unpredictability in the game in my opinion. It takes away from the fun. I will forever miss the days before the salary cap, but I am sure most Canadians would disagree because it hurt there teams the most. Those teams were hardly making profit during that time and so were many American teams. So in the end I hate the changes, but they probably saved the league from losing clubs that could not paty their way to the best teams in the league.

Yeah, yeah, yeah...

I've been hearing this for over two years now.  Last year was their chance and they blew it.

@ Marks Why do you hate the Blackhawks so much? There's got to be a more repulsive team then them to you.

That was a really high scoring game I wished I had seen it. Was too busy watching Colorado pull off a shootout victory versus Columbus. Ity is early in the season, but Varlimov the Avs new goalie looks stellar. The Avs number 2 pick 18 year old Landeskog got his first career goal. Great for him. Now the Avs jump Vancouver for the early lead of the Northwest division. I am excited. As Robert Loungo of Vancouver proves it takes a top goalie to get far in the playoffs and consistantly beat teams. I am hoping both Vancouver and Colorado do well, but in the end I have to hope the Canucks dont do that well so my team might be first in the division.

vancouver and Colorado both play tomorrow so things could change fast. Oh and TATS12 Vancouver is facing your Detriot Red Wings. It should be a great game.

On another note Bruins are now 1-3. What a surprise I wonder if they will keep faultering or if they will soon be back to their winning ways. 

They are off to a good start at 2 and 0. That is great I hope they do well especially considering they are the youngest team in the league. 
Any day they play Detriot I will be a fan too.

Lol, no they are the Avalanches biggest rival. If I didn't have friends on here that were Detriot fans I would be constantly talking trash. Detriot fans hate Colorado too, there was a good ten years were every game they played together there were fights and many team brawls. It all started in 1996 when the Avs Claude Lemuix blindsided Detriot's Chris Draper into the boards It was a very dirty hit and it sparked a great rivalry. The first video if you care to watch.

This is gonna be a very interesting year... there's a lot of good teams out there, and I don't see anyone running away in the standings like Vancouver and Washington did in the past couple of years.

As bad as I wanna see the Rangers win the cup (or at least make it to the finals), this year is gonna be tough for them, especially in their own division... Pittsburgh and Philly are playing really well to start the season, and you can't discount NJ and the Islanders who have young, up and coming teams and who always play them tough no matter what.

I have high hopes for my 'Hawks too in the West, would love to see them take the cup back to the Windy City again. They can certainly do it, as I don't see teams like Vancouver and San Jose being as beastly as they were last season.
