NHL Standings for 09/10 season heading into the playoffs

I wouldnt call Tampa a dark horse. They have a lot of good players there and good goaltending. I have them in 7th so.

They do have good players, I'm just not convinced about the D and the G. We'll see, I think they are going to put up a real good fight this year though.

They're set in nets, but I'm not confident in a lot of things. I think they might need another year to put everything together, but...anything can happen.

rock on, Sens in 5th, pushing close to 100 pts, let the good times roll come Oct 3.

This guy scares me a little...it looks like he's doing something naughty... He's still cool though!

I just don't see Montreal finishing ahead of us. Although if they do, Price must be playing fantastic, and I got him in the draft pool, so I'm a bit conflicted.

I didnt Montreal would be my pick people challenged

Price will never be the starting goalie that Gainey thinks he can be, which bodes very bad for him because he fired a coach over it (allegedly) and traded away a true starter over it as well. The Habs will only do well if Halak gets the starting nod.

- In no way do I think the regular season standings will determine post-season success.

That's some bold predictions...

Go bold or go home

I'm not convinced with my picks for 8th (I would put that as 8-11th because all 4 teams in those spaces could make it over the others) but I'm confident about the top-7 in each conference.

I'm pretty much with you, don't like Atlanta as much as I did with Zherdev in their lineup. Lehtonen will prob get injured too, haha.

Yeah, I like Atlanta as well - PKing is a problem - BIG TIME though. Plus I don't like Lehtonen as a player that much. Maybe Pavelic or whatever will grab the ball and run.

The more I think about it, I think there might be a serious issue coming for the Flames. I think they could miss in the ultra-competitive West. Nice D - the best in the business, but so weak at forward. And yes, I know about their 'young' guys, but it's not good enough.

If there's to be a surprise miss of the playoffs it's them IMO.

yeah probably...Pavelec has a lot to prove, but he's got a ton of skill...If it happens, I wouldn't bet against Pav or Hedberg taking the reins and running with it.

Conversely, I'm not with you on Carolina...I can vibe with the rest of both conferences, but I just can't get behind Carolina. Not convinced...
