Surprise surprise (a hockey question)?

Question

Man, you know its sad when you have to put a hockey question in parenthesses to let people know its a hockey question in a hockey section.

Well, I decided I'd come back early because I decided I'm going to try a minimum of 3 hockey questions a day to sorta get some more hockey questions a day.

I know we all hate prediction questions, but what/who do you think will be the biggest surprise in the 08-09 season?

Answer 1

Tampa Bay. The Blackhawks and the Coyotes will all surprise this year

Answer 2

Hi

The surprise of the year will be when most of the new regulars on Y/A admit to knowing nothing about hockey and only being homers.

Thank You

Answer 3

good surprise = Oilers (for their offseason adjustments and a general weakening in the NW division

bad surprise = Capitals (I fear they won't live up to anywhere near the expectations that were left with them after last season)

Answer 4

Tampa.

Answer 5

Columbus!

Answer 6

San Jose Sharks

Answer 7

I honestly think Chicago will be the biggest surprise. I think they're going to go pretty far this year.

Answer 8

I know you're not going to like this answer but...The Blackhawks. The addition of Brian Campbell will be a great boost for Chicago.

Sorry dude.

Answer 9

Edmonton, they made some nice moves this off-season.

Just couldn't stay away, could you? Must be all that dark energy floating around,lol.

Answer 10

Phoenix. I can see them taking a few teams by surprise and squeaking into the playoffs.

Answer 11

Surprise - Gilbert Brule

Disappointments - Pittsburgh and Ottawa

Can we really consider it a surprise when Sundin ends up back with the Leafs?
