  3. Flyers 7 43-25-11-3 All the parts are in place. But without some=20
  off-ice drama, it will feel like something is missing. >>
     LMAO, please, this team ALWAYS finds a way to have off-ice drama =
with CLARKE in charge!!


  4. Devils 3 48-19-12-3 How are the Devils are going to compensate for=20
  Alexander Mogilny's 43 goals, better defense? Ah yes, entertaining =
hockey in=20
  the swamp. >>
   =20
        What's this shit?? I hate ESPN :P. I guess they have no =
knowledgeable reporters to research our team so they revert back to the =
"boring trap swamp team" insults.=20


  5. Stars 5 48-24-8-2 An upgrade in skill makes the Stars more=20
  difficult to shut down. And they'll still outwork any team on any part =
of the=20
  ice.=20

  6. Capitals 10 41-27-10-4 Note to Adam Oates: Remember playing with =
Cam=20
  Neely and Brett Hull? We hear Jaromir Jagr is just as good. Put the =
hard=20
  feelings aside. It could be worse, you could be in Chicago.=20

  7. Blues 6 43-22-12-5 Maybe Fred Brathwaite will prove skeptics wrong. =

  Maybe Brent Johnson will have a stellar sophomore season. Or maybe =
not.=20

  8. Maple Leafs 14 37-29-11-5 For all their offseason acquisitions, the =

  status of Tomas Kaberle looms large for the Leafs.=20

  9. Sharks 11 40-27-12-3 Individually, it's no big deal. But the =
combined=20
  absence of Patrick Marleau, Todd Harvey and Mike Rathje will hurt.=20

  10. Senators 4 48-21-9-4 The trading of Alexei Yashin was the first=20
  sign that the Senators aren't far away from becoming the Oilers of the =
East.=20

  11. Sabres 8 46-30-5-1 No Mike Peca, no problem. No Dominik Hasek? =
Guh.=20

  12. Penguins 9 42-28-9-3 What are the odds Alexei Kovalev, Martin=20
  Straka and Robert Lang can all have career years -- again?=20

  13. Canucks 15 36-28-11-7 Good news: Other than the top four, no other =

  teams in the Western Conference improved much.=20

  14. Kings 13 38-28-13-3 No Rob Blake, no Luc Robitaille, no problem?=20
  Guess again.=20

  15. Oilers 12 39-28-12-3 From the Master of the Obvious Department: =
Mike=20
  Comrie is not Doug Weight.=20

  16. Bruins 18 36-30-8-8 On paper, the Bruins are improved. But the =
"ifs"=20
  (if Jason Allison doesn't hold out, if Byron Dafoe can stay healthy, =
if=20
  Robbie Ftorek doesn't alienate the team, if Martin Lapointe is worth =
$5M)=20
  could be their downfall.=20

  17. Hurricanes 17 38-32-9-3 Despite their young talent, the Hurricanes =

  needed to get better in the offseason and they didn't.=20

  18. Rangers 21 33-43-5-1 We're playing the odds here. There is no way=20
  the Rangers can be as bad as they were last season. Is there?=20

  19. Coyotes 16 35-27-17-3 Did Sean Burke consult Wayne Gretzky's=20
  offseason plan before signing his contract extension?=20

  20. Predators 19 34-36-9-3 Mike Dunham and Tomas Vokoun will do their=20
  part, but goalies aren't responsible for scoring goals.=20

  21. Canadiens 24 28-40-8-6 Forget the actual signings, the fact that=20
  everyone will start training camp healthy is a big enough offseason=20
  acquisition.=20

  22. Islanders 30 21-51-7-3 Alexei Yashin is good. Mike Peca is good.=20
  Rick DiPietro is still just 19 years old.=20

  23. Panthers 27 22-38-13-9 Val Bure this, Val Bure that. Goalie =
Roberto=20
  Luongo will have more to do with turning the team around.=20

  24. Flames 20 27-36-15-4 Roman Turek is an exmple of the poor getting=20
  richer for a change. But without more offense, the Flames miss the =
playoffs=20
  again.=20

  25. Blackhawks 22 29-40-8-5 Seldom do we offer sympathy to=20
  multimillionaires, but we feel for Tony Amonte and wouldn't blame him =
for=20
  making a beeline toward unrestricted free agency.=20

  26. Mighty Ducks 26 25-41-11-5 The bright side: at least they're in =
the=20
  same conference as two second-year expansion teams.=20

  27. Blue Jackets 23 28-39-9-6 With the addition of rookie Rostislav=20
  Klesla and Radim Bicanek, the Jackets will be better on defense.=20
  Unfortunately, you've got to score goals to win games.=20

  28. Wild 25 25-39-13-5 The Wild aren't about to spend money on=20
  high-profile free agents. But adding a few cheap goals to the roster =
wouldn't=20
  have hurt.=20

  29. Thrashers 28 23-45-12-2 Live by youth, die by youth. It may pay =
off=20
  for them down the round. Or it may not.=20

  30. Lightning 29 24-47-6-5 If Vincent Lecavalier holds out, Nikolai=20
  Khabibulin will look at his two-week stint with Team Russia as a =
vacation.=20
