The Sabres didn't choke last year they just didn't play well AT ALL.

They were riddled with injuries, which has always been an achilles heel for the team and they couldn't play well around it.

Ah, I see. Avs had that problem too, three top scorers out at once at one point. In any case, I think both teams should make the playoffs this year. Especially if the goalies hold up.

To me the Avalanche haven't been the same since they won their Stanley Cups and Patrick Roy arguably the greatest goalie of all time retired.

Now we have Budaj starting, Raycroft backing him up...Budaj can be awesome if he keeps his head in the game. Sometimes under pressure, he overcomplicates shots. If we can get Raycroft to Calder form, we'd have a pretty strong pair of goalies. And heck, he's won both his games. I think Budaj has great potential, and the Avs might be able to blossom again with him at backstop. Other than that, I think our grit and defense this year is much better, although the D wasn't great the first few games, they've been getting more solid, with the goalies. Not to mention, we have great young guys in the system, with veterans like Super Joe to mentor them. I think the Avs can be challengers in the West this year, and definitely for years to come.

I'll stick with watching the Flames, since they can actually do some good.
Right now, the Toronto Maple Leafs are playing some good hockey. Some great hockey even. They're almost leaps and bounds better than they were last season.
Which is actually pretty bad for Leafs fans...
They're better off tanking this season and getting a high draft pick.
They're also probably going to be keeping Schenn up for the season as well... which is not a good move for the future and is probably a decision made to help sell tickets.
Er... I think you might be looking at a different Canucks team than I am. They probably won't even make it into the playoffs this season. They're also probably the worst team in the Northwest Division...
The Oilers have a mixture of veterans and youth... both are struggling right now. Horcoff and Hemsky have been asleep for essentially all the games so far... and while the "Kid Line" have been creating chances... they're unable to produce. What the Oilers really need right now is for a shake-up at the coaching position. Although I like MacTavish... I truly believe that the Oilers have to go out and find someone new. (I'm an Oilers fan).

You haven't experienced the full cofusion of modern gender relations until you've heard an angry group of women yelling, "We want tentacles!" at an all-night Hentai-fest.

Though honestly I haven't kept up much with hockey besides ESPN highlights. Usually more in focused during the playoffs.
At least one team in D.C. is doing well eh?
Also merged thread with existing one.

Out of curiosity, anyone here play hockey as well?
