Haha Toronto had major changes during the summer time, but they don't stand a chance at winning the Cup! But if they can just make the series she should be satisfied if you think of last season!
The Caps are good again, but way too centered on offensive. The problem is if they are facing a good defensive team in playoffs, or another team with a very hot goaltender, they won't be able to win. This is why i don't believe they will win the Cup. But once again, their season will be crazy i have no doubt about it!!
Chicago definately won't win much this year. Last year was their year, and they lost too many talented players!!
I wonder how good will be Vancouver in the playoffs this year. I am not affraid of them making the playoffs, the question is how well they will be in playoffs. Afterall, it's not the first time that they have a very good team, and they always struggled to get to the finals. Of course, like you said Sandra, the western conference is much better than the eastern, which means the road is way harder! But it's definately a team to watch as their potentiel is very high.
The L.A. Kings are a mysterious team to me. Other than the playersheet, i haven't seen them play often, so sadly i can not judge them! :S
And there are the Habs! This year they got some good players coming in, like Halpern and Boyd, and i wonder how well they will do. Of course, i don't believe they are a true contestant for the Cup, but i believe they can do like last year, especially if the team stays healthy and Price does as good as he does right now!
My personal conclusion to this team is: i don't know who will win the Cup! I am also not sure if Toronto will be in series, but their chances are high. I will also have a close look at the new Tampa Bay Lightning team, but i think the next year will be their year, not right now!
Thinking about it... maybe we should have a hockey pool for the Chameleonforums!! What do you think of that idea?
And i heard Toronto's tickets are even more expensive!!
