Go ahead and post your suprises, predictions, and upsets and whatever else comes to mind with what has gone down so far this season. Now my suprise is the Avs, people were ranking thm dead last this year but there currently have one of the best records in the league. Just beat Calgary last night off a sick goal from Wojtek who by the way has been killing it this season.

Canucks are looking good.. I was at the Kings game, good first and third period. Second period was a trap-fest though.

The Canucks are a boring hockey team to watch. I'm from Vancouver, and I don't like them. Capitols on the other hand are fucking awesome. Such an offensive team and always skating hard. I'm hyped to see them play the nuck's tonight, maybe some of their offensive hockey will rub off on Vancouver.

Only two teams in the Western Conference (LA and SJ) have scored more goals than the Canucks.

In addition, we have the 3rd best Power Play and are finally returning to a healthy line up.

I agree they could play more tempo, but with so much invested in a goalie its better to grind out 2-1, 3-2, etc results than get into a huge shoot-out to keep their confidence and sense of necessity up.

The Canucks are just a cursed franchise. Ie, wednesday, I'm listening to the radio and Pratt as usual gives you his two top picks to bet on for sportsaction and he goes "take the canucks, they're 13-4-0 at home and the Ducks are last in the conference, it's a gift!" And I said out loud, "Yeah but it's the CANUCKS. Never bet on the Canucks." And what do you know, they laid an egg and lost the game.

I watch every Nucks game and have lived with the disappointment for too many years, I know by now what to expect.

Too bad Luongo is consistently inconsistent and injured frequently. Money well spent eh?

And you call that inconsistent? He will still end up with excellent numbers at the end of the season... Hell I'd take him on my team any day with the money he gets.

I'm an Avs fan, have been since 2000 (kindergarten). I just want to say this to all the panelists, fans of other teams, and especially the canucks...TAKE THAT MOTHERFUCKERS.

Also, does anyone else hate Pierre McGuire with a burning passion?

I'm a Duck's player all the way, some really sick players, Getzlaf, Perry, Neidermeyer, Ryan, Selanne, and two starting worthy goalies, but fuck they haven't been able to pull it together this year.  Hoping for the best though.

The Av's have been playing really unreal though, it's sweet to watch cause Cody McLeod has been playing so good for still being a young guy and being from my home town and all.  Such a sick player, going to have an unreal career.  Props to him.

Btw, who caught the Caps vs Oilers game tonight, my god did Ovechkin dominate, brought em back from the 2-0 deficite.

Flyers blow, it's been almost painful to watch some games. They won when I went to see my first NHL game at the wachovia center though so that was cool. We haven't been all bad we just seem like we're all over the place.

I'm surprised we held off toronto last night, I'll also be surprised if we can clinch a playoff spot. But we're the fuckin flyers, we always seem to make it in there somehow. Bring on the Rangers we need a fuckin win over here.

Although I like the PENS I am very disappointed about the fact that the CAPS swept them in the regular season series and I fucking hate Oveckin and the CAPS.. Most bullshit team in the league.
