Stories: Ovechkin will play like he did in his first few years when he dominated, Boston will take division easily, Rangers with addition of Nash will dominate East.

Stories: Vancouver will hopefully dominate even w/o Kes/Booth. St.Louis will repeat with extravagant year once again. Chicago has something to improve, won cup and then have struggled since. LA will repeat with almost exactly same roster from last years run. San Jose has been consistent by making playoffs but getting a early ticket out. Expect the same. Nashville will make playoffs with defensive core, Weber/Rinne. Minnesota will make it with additions of Parise/Suter. High expectations! Lastly, Edmonton barely makes it escaping wings from a few points. I just can't see DET making it.. So maybe this is the year? Without Lidstrom/Holmstrom?

BQ: East - Tampa Bay

BQ: West - Detroit

I don't know why everybody is underestimating the Leafs, they always have strong first half's I predict them as high as 5th in the east tbh and no im not a Leafs fan, im a Canucks fan.

Sure but if history tells us anything its that the Leafs play pretty good for the first half of the season, they have done so for the past 5 or so years.

West - it is going to likely be an disenchanted if Chris Paul (appropriate PG interior the NBA) can not carry his group to the 2d around against a stable Denver group. Denver is stable, however the Hornets have plenty intensity. East - it is going to likely be an disenchanted if D-Wade can not carry the warmth to the subsequent around, I mean all the hype approximately him being the MVP, and his enormous nights would be considered one of those waste... BQ - Lakers have locked the #one million seed. Cavs nonetheless ought to win a pair of video games to fasten in. Edit: Lol... i did no longer know we could %. our very own... East - Cleveland VS dollars. i'm going to be so pissed if the Cavs take 7 video games to conquer the dollars... West - Rockets VS Portland - it is going to likely be an disenchanted if Portland can not beat my Rockets. I mean they don't have T-mac (who's a damn beast interior the playoffs)..

I'll just address the BQ. With the addition of Whitney and Jagr, the Stars could sneak in there. GO WINGS!
