Northwest division.

Like the post before, here's predictions for the Northwest Division

Vancouver Canucks
Calgary Flames
Colorado Avalanche
Minnesota Wild
Edmonton Oilers

The Canucks will survive on Loungo and the Sedins. The question mark will be how the defense can last with their bumps and bruises. May I suggest a new training staff.

The Flames will be hot out of the gate then manage to stay alive throughout the season. Someone form the top line will be injured.

Colorado will compete all season long, but the goaltending won't be strong, they should be going after Niemi or Emery.

The Wild won't change from where they did last year. Hopefully the scorers will score more. This is another team in need for consistent goaltending. Let's stay healthy Havlat.

The Oilers, who will the main goaltender, Deslauriers? Khabibulin? The Bulin wall hasn't played in almost two years. Can Deslauriers play the whole season. Or will gerber be their man. lol. The forwards will continue to improve throughout the season, but will come up short in the end.

Northeast Standings predictions

I will try to predict the standing for each division one at a time. I begin with the Northeast division, simply because it has everyones favourite teams in it. MTL, OTT and TOR.


Boston Bruins
Ottawa Senators
Toronto Maple Leafs
Buffalo Sabres
Montreal Canadiens


For Bruins with the addition of Sequin and the mass amount of players at centre, they will be able to spread the scoring, and have the ability to move one of them for support. Chara will still their rock and defense and Tim Thomas will have a comeback year.

The Senators Rock!!!
What else can I say, Gonchar will help the guys on the PP. He'll QB the play so Spezza and Kovy can get open. Now they won't have to poorly try to do it all. Leclaire will continue where he left off in the playoffs.

The Laffs will make the postseason. Simply because Burke has made enough changes that will make this time competitive again.

Buffalo will only go where Ryan Miller will take, plus Vanek will be the only guy that can score for them.

The Canadiens will falter because the Price is wrong. Everything is being handed to him in net and he is not going to be able to handle the responsibility and of course the beach balls.

X-nay on Kovalchuk- EH! Theres still goalies left!

Ahh boo hoo Kovy can't get his 17 year I'm the richest player history contract. does New jersey try to sign him still. Have they spent the last 3 weeks creating back up deals to try to keep him. or will the Rangers or Kings steal him away. Well OK maybe not the rangers now that they've signed Frolov. If he does work a a long term deal it'll pan out to be 5 to 8 years long now.

Why hasn't Niemi, Emery, Theodore not found new homes yet. Emery when he heathly is a competitor. But two seasons(last season he barely played) remove from the NHL is making it harder for him to land anywhere. Will the panthers make a move on Niemi, I bet the sharks regret signing Nittymaki now. lol
Khabibulin should retire and open up space for the goal tending in Edmonton, but he still has 2 to years left on his contract. The Hurricanes could use the services of the experience of Theodore to back up Ward.

Coming soon my half predictions for the Sens upcoming season, who's gonna be gone for them by the end of the season, who will lead in points etc. Where will they finish in the standings.
