Well Homer was starting to decline but still a big loss for the PP. Rafalski 2 seasons ago and Stuart leaving last season didn't help. Do have some good prospects in B.Smith, Nyquist and Brunner to build around though.

without icepuck he had no reason to be here

Correct.

An 82 game season with this Wings roster and I would guarantee they make the playoffs.

A 48 game season with this inexperienced roster and I cannot guarantee anything. If Howard plays as well as he was late last year and into the playoffs immediately, they'll make the playoffs. If any struggles from the goaltender(s) and/or gross negligence from inexperienced defense corp, they will not.

Its actually kind of exciting to finally see the Wings get instantly younger in the course of one offseason. Cant say I like the team as contenders, but I like the team in that this organization is finally going to find out what it has in the system from guys who would have been buried in the minors/juniors were the roster as veteran laden as it usually is.

Nyquist, Smith, Tatar, Ericsson in a much bigger role. New cat Brunner. One or two injuries anywhere and you might even see some really fresh faces like Sheahan or Riley, which would be so incredibly un-Red Wing like.

LA isnt going to be a contender this year, you watch. Quick is outstanding but that team got super-hot at the right time.

I honestly think if Philly can get some above-average goaltending this year, its their year to win it all. Them or NY Rangers.

Canada has no chance at anything. The best team (Vancouver) is going to start incredibly slow and have a lot of friction in that lockerroom what with the Lou debacle hanging over the place. Couple in Kesler's injury and its solely the Sedin show.

Obviously, a short season is a crapshoot. At the 48 game pole last year, iirc, Detroit was #1 in the NHL and Minnesota was, iirc, #3. Fast forward 48 games, the Wild miss the playoffs and the Wings finish #5 in the West and proceed to get their asses handed to them by the Preds in the first round.

I'm thinking that some of the shitty teams like the Oilers, Islanders, and Blue Jackets will sneak into the playoffs because of the short season. The short season should definitely help the Stars since they usually start off really good then become average in the middle of the season while crapping out during the last month of the season which results in them missing the playoffs.

CBJ ?

No fucking way :lol especially since Nash is gone

Oilers are stacked offensively (Yakupov - Nugent Hopkins - Hall - Eberle, daaamn ), but young

However, they picked the best defensive player in the latest draft

Jacob1983

01-10-2013, 02:47 AM

Maybe next year then. I'd just like to see the Stars make the playoffs. It's been a while since they were in the playoffs. I'm tired of the same old shit with them. They look like they are going to make the playoffs and just crap the fuck out during the last month of the season and it comes down to the last week of the season or the last game and they blow it.

If the NHL and NBC wanted to make more money off hockey then why not have double headers on Monday or Tuesday night? Have an East coast game start 6pm and then have two West coast teams play a game at 9pm or 9:30pm. That would do away with NBC's lovefest with the Rangers, Flyers, Penguins, Sabres, Bruins, Capitals, and Red Wings. It would level the playing field.

Ive thought about it, but it's mainly NBC's coverage on a national level that sucks (lol emrick and Pierre McGuire, yikes .............)

But for the other games on NBC sports it isnt that bad TBH.... yesterday night they TSN broadcasted the NBCsports feed for the Coyotes-Blackhawks game and it was pretty good

Of course it's hard to top Hockey Night in Canada .... those intros :wow
