Which do you see happening in the 2008-2009 NHL season?

Question

1. Marty Turco's first ever win at the Joe gives him the confidence to not only have Detroit's number next year but also knocks em out of the playoffs?

2. The LA Kings made it into the playoffs with Nikolai Khabibulin finding his winning touch again.

3. Tampa Bay winning the cup even though there's no defense.

5. Phoenix Coyotes win the Division and get the past the first round after maing a good trade at the deadline for a good defenseman?

Answer 1

1 and #7 but dallas wont knock detriot out of the playoffs i think detriot will lose to anahiem they have a deep defense to handle detriot's offense

Answer 2

  I'll answer #2 & #5

    2)  No way the Queens make the playoffs... Good young talent but without a good group of veterans to show them the way they are going to have growing pains. They will finish no better than 13th in the conference. I actually am picking them 15th right now... they still need to get above the cap floor.

   5)  Are you serious??? I think the Yotes have a good shot at sneaking into the playoff.. Bryz is the real deal.. miss him lots here in Anaheim..  But Phx is not going to leap frog Dallas , Anaheim and San Jose... 3 of the 4 best teams in the West.  

Answer 3

Dang, I REALLY like the sound of three, Howls.

Answer 4

1.) Nope, the Red Wings are too much of a compete team.  

2.) Having Khabibulin play well won't help the Kings seeing as how he plays for the Hawks.  

3.) hahahahahaha no.....

4.) Obama cares way less about race then people think he is.  God knows why they do.  

5.) I could see it.  They've got a goalie, and a legit first line center.  Plus Gretzky's starting to come into his own as a coach.  

6.) No offense to the Coyotes, but anywhere is better then Phoenix.  

7.) Seriously if the Leafs are loosing who would think to blame the coach even if it was his fault?  

Answer 5

da wild winning all the way.

Answer 6

2) this sort of makes me laugh.

3) i can really see Tampa having a good chance at the cup, along with the pens. i think i'm rooting for both teams this year.

5) i could see this happening in the future..

Answer 7

Turco won at the Joe during the playoffs.  Haha.

Answer 8

1. he can will all the games he wants at the Joe during the regular season, its the post season  that counts, and i dont see the wings losing, bring on the repeat (not a wings fan either)

2. with the loss of Cammaleri, i dont see the kings going far, but i can see the Bulin-Wall in a Kings jersey this year

3. no chance, i think Tampa might be a tad over-hyped a bit, yah they made alot of moves, but i think they make the playoffs but as a low seed 6-7-8

4. if they are good enough, let them play, skin colours dont matter on the ice, just the logo on the front you play for.

5. in all seriousness i could see Phoenix winning the division, but its a h**l of a long shot. Getting past Dallas, Anaheim, San Jose, all of them should be good teams this year.

6. no chance of the NHL going to Vegas, far more teams deserve it before Las Vegas

7. i do think Wilson is a mistake for the leafs, Torts could be there to tell the players that they actually suck, and hopefully they pick up their game. Make sure that Toskala is pulling his weight, which i think he will again

Answer 9

-Where are the Blues making the playoffs?

Answer 10

number 2 is not possible, the Kings can't make it to the playoffs!

Answer 11

I can see #3 and #5 happening actually. Tampa May have their Defense step up . You never know. The Coyotes were fun to watch last season. They were close. A trade or two at the deadline could put them over the top.  

Answer 12

Hey Howler, no way are your Coyotes going to do better than the Sharks!!

I'll take #1. Marty Turco will beat the Wings in the 2nd Round to then play the Sharks in the 3rd round. But he will have a shaky 3rd Round and lose to the 08-09 Cup Champs!
