my comments are regarding the actual NHL.
Chicago is playing like they have something to prove this year.
Detroit doesnt look like they are going to make the playoffs let alone contend.
Carolina added to many new pieces and are going to have a hard time getting everyone to gel.
For all Edmonton is hyped with their young stars, I think Winnipeg will finish higher in the standings this year.
I think Leafs will squeak into the playoffs this year.
Columbus wont finish dead last but will just fall out of playoff contention.
