4) Who will lead the NHL in points next season?

Sidney Crosby just because he has so many assists although you can never count at Alexander Ovecheckin

Crosby because I am from Pittsburgh.  Sorry.  Props go to the Hometown Boy.

Answer 7

1. The Detroit Red Wings

2. The Anaheim Ducks.

3. I don't exactly know if I could find a team to expell. But if there were a reason, the biggest would be becasue they are incredibly dirty players.

4. Wow. Uhm, Henrik Zetterberg? Or of course Alexander Ovechkin.

5. I'm not sure. Carolina didn't seem to good. Nor Chicago.

6. Probably not.

7. Ovechkin. More humble and more polite. He gives credit to others when it's deserved, and that's a big thing in my book. He is also amazinggg, and can really lead his team.

8. Everything. It's all just amazing.

11. Right now, my favorite, and will always be my favorite, is Valtteri Filppula.

12. Mine! Detroit Red Wings!

Answer 8

1.) New Jersey Devils

2.) New York Rangers - Rivalries, and the fact that Scott Gomez went there doesn't help

3.) Nashville doesn't seem to have too many fans, but I'd get rid of Phoenix and give Winnipeg their team back.

4.) Ovechkin or Zetterberg

5.) The Lightning.  They lost Richards AND Prospal, two of their best forwards.  They seriously need a good goalie and a solid defense and they have to stop relying on Lecavalier and St. Louis to keep scoring.  The Lightning went from winning the Cup in 2004 to just making the playoffs in 2006 and 2007, to dead last in the NHL.  Not good.

6.) No, because ESPN values spelling bees and wood chopping competitions more.

7.) Ovechkin, because he complains less than Crosby does.  He's also a more physical player, and something about Crosby just annoys me.

8.) Just waving to the players during warm-ups, and seeing them wave or smile back is always really cool!  I also remember watching a game last season, Devils VS Islanders.  Jay Pandolfo had a REALLY nicely set up goal by John Madden.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=eRGwuZ-7_qI

9.) Alexander Ovechkin (LW), Henrik Zetterberg (C), Jarome Iginla (RW), Nicklas Lidstrom (D), and Sergei Gonchar (D).

10.) Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Mario Lemieux (they're all centers, so Messier and Lemieux will just play wing for me), Nicklas Lidstrom (D), and Ray Bourque (D).

11.) Brian Gionta

12.) The old Buffalo Sabres blue and yellow jersey.

http://www.icejerseys.com/images/vintage...

Answer 9

1.) New York Rangers

2.) New Jersey Devils

3.) The Detroit Red Wings. Because they are set up to be the best team in the NHL for years to come.

(Real answer, probably the Florida Panthers, Canada needs another team).

4.) Sidney Crosby or Ovie (I know its easy, but its probably true).

5.) The Toronto Maple Leafs.. Need I say more?

6.) No, they have a contract with Versus for a few more years.

7.) I like Ovechkin more because he plays more physical and that was more of my game, I was never much for finesse players.

8.) The Hartford Whalers final game in Hartford. One of the Worst days of my life.

9.) Center- Crosby

Wing- Ovechkin

Wing- Zetterberg

D- Lidstrom

D- Campbell

G- Lundqvist or Luongo

Wing- Lemieux (he'd play where I said lol)

Wing- Richard

D- Orr

D- Harvey

G- Dryden

11.) John Leclair

12.) The Montreal Canadians.... Classic.

Answer 10

1) Minnesota Wild

2) Philadelphia Flyers

3) Philaldelphia Fyers because of all of the suspensions that they had all year.

4) Alexander Ovechkin with his ability to score alot of goals.

5) Los Angeles Kings have to rebuild the most. Tampa should be getting Stamkos so he should help them out next year.

6) The NHL probably won't be back on ESPN anytime soon.

7) Ovechkin because I love to see highlight reel goals.

8) My memorable experience was when I went my first NHL game in Buffalo. (Buffalo Sabres with Hasek VS Philadelphia Flyers)

4) Who will lead the NHL in points next season?

Answer 17

1) Favorite :: The Penguins

// With such young talent how can anyone really NOT like them?

2) Least favorite :: Philadelphia Flyers

// They're all just rude at the arena when the Pens play against them. Sometimes i think they take the 'in-state' rivalry to another level.

3) i wouldn't.

4) if Pittsburgh keeps playing as well as they have, the Pens. but i could really see New Jersey.

5) i think all of them need to. there's always room for improvement.

6) helllllz to the no.

7) Crosby. I can just never see Ovechkin giving up the puck to let another player score a goal. Crosby worries more about how other players are scoring than himself. If he sees someone else is open - he gives them the puck to score.. he usually doesn't dance around people and try to make it in the net when he knows he can't.

8) i went to the mellon arena to watch game 2, i think it was - on the jumbo tron. & the lady behind me was drunk and hitting the sunburn on my back. i turned around and cussed her out. Then her drunk boyfriend threw her flipflop on my brothers lap - he in return threw the flipflop 20 isles down making them wobble down and look for it. i couldn't even enjoy the whole 3rd period because they were so loud.

9) Orpik - Malkin - Malone - Sykora & Gonchar.

10) if mario lemieux was still playing he would probably replace Sykora in that line in question 9. lol

11) mario lemieux. Ryan Malone, if you're speaking recently.

12) i like the pens old jersey.

Answer 18

1) Detroit Red Wings

2) Don't really have a least favorite...usually whoever knocks Detroit out of the playoffs is my least favorite team for that season....but this year that didn't happen.

3) Florida Panthers.  I don't even hear about them anymore.

4) Ovechkin.

5) The Kings.  The Sabres.  Who knows.

6) I doubt that.  The World Series of Poker is doing very well on that channel...

7) Ovechkin.  I'm really just kinda sick of hearing about Crosby.

8) I went to my first Red Wings game this past season.  They beat the Sharks 5-1, and Henrik Zetterburg (my favorite player) scored.  It was beyond perfect.

9) Zetterburg, Ovechkin, Malkin, Lidstrom and ....I'll have tryouts for the final defenseman soon.

10) I'm too brain dead from working to even think.

11) Steve Yzerman.

12) The Red Wings.  Duh.

thanks everyone!

Answer 19

1. new york rangers

2. new york ice-landers

3. the Phoenix coyotes because it makes no sense for an nhl team to be there. i know Wayne Gretzky is the coach but it still doesn't make any sense because it is so hot there and i just can't picture any one liking to watch hockey that lives in Arizona. i would have said either tampa bay or the panthers but they could have older people that live their that like hockey that moved from a northern state

6. i hope so because i can't stand versus i think its time for a change

8. my most memorable experience at a hockey game was when i went to madison square garden with my cousin. it was his first time there and he was so excited. i taught him all the chants, the goal song and i took him around the garden during intermission and stuff. the rangers won 4 nothing and he had such a good time. its the most memorable because i was like passing down the love for the rangers to him. i have a lot of great times but this one sticks out.

9. henrik zetterberg, jaromir jagr ( i still have a lot of respect for him) vinny lecavalier then on D marc staal and Nicklas Lidstrom.

10.mark messier, wayne gretzky, steve yzerman then on D bobby orr and brian leetch

4) honestly, I'm gonna say I think maybe the Red Wings have a good shot at it, but also, the Pens, and the Sharks.

5) Wow, good Q. I'm not sure. The Leafs always need to rebuild, but they won't be able to do it in just one season.

6) I don't know, maybe so

7) Ummm, I go back and forth. Right now, I guess I like Sid a bit more, but I really like Ovie also.

8) Wow. I think my first game I ever went to. It was a very good game, and it was really cool to be in an NHL arena for the first time.The guy who got us into hockey died that night, we lost the game, and it was all very dramatic.

9) Hmmmmm, I think Stastny, Hejduk and smyth, when they're all healthy and clicky, are as good as anyone, so I guess I'll say them at forward. And on D, I like Salei, and Foote is really good.  I know I'm being a homer, but I'm happy with the players my team has, so that's who I'd want.

10) Wow, all-time. I'm gonna go with Sakic, Lemiuex. and Dionne up front, and Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque on the backline.

11) It varies. Being an Avs fan, I gotta love Joe Sakic, and but there's so many others also.

12) I like the Avs, the Sharks, the Flamse, and the Pens. I also like the Habs.
