NEW.ERA Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 If the Avs go 19-14-4 the rest of the way that will give the 96 points which should be enough but I do think 100 might be the magic number. So I think what you see now in the top 8 will be what it will be like in April barring massive collapses.

FiddySicks Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 So it's time for the Sharks to ante up Joe Pavelski, Devin Setoguchi and a 1st Round Draft Pick for Ilya Kovalchuk. Because I know for the top contenders in the West will do just about anything in there power to grab him for the playoffs.Just a harmless prediction.It is a possibility.Woah, that's giving up a whole hell of a lot, especially after what they gave up to get Heatley. That would be an absolutely deadly first two lines, but who would play behind them? On 11/19/2012 at 7:23 PM, oldschoolvikings said: She’s still half convinced “Chris Creamer” is a porn site.)

ElwoodCuse Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 How does that even fit under the cap? I know it prorates, but Kovalchuk gets 7.5 and Pavelski/Setoguchi get like 2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 The Blue Jackets have now won back-to-back games in regulation. I think that's called a winning streak. Weird, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think it will be a difficult adjustment with all of these players coming back. The players coming back could disrupt the chemestry that they have going right now.Poppycock. "Chemistry" is trumped by "having Johan Franzen." I'm sure they're grateful for the contributions they've gotten from Ville Leino or whoever, but they're going to play their best players as soon they're available and they'll be better off for it. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashcarson15 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I'm not giving up on the Blues yet. On one hand, since they did it last year, there's no chance they can do it again this year. On the other hand, there was no chance they could do it last year...Plus I know they're better than they've played, so maybe after a couple of weeks with the new coach they'll go on a tear. It'll have to be quite a tear, but it's still to early to give up in my book.I also think Dallas could get in. Partly because I still think there's teams in the top 8 that will slide.This is kind of the same feeling I have on the Jackets, as they're better than they've played.The Blue Jackets have now won back-to-back games in regulation. I think that's called a winning streak. Weird, I know.Yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Canucks at one point this year were missing Daniel Sedin, Roberto Luongo, and Sami Salo they all eventually returned and team started playing their best hockey. I don't see why a well coached veteran team in the Wings wont play their best hockey once they get some of their guys back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charger77 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 At one point the Wings were missing enough quality players to make up 2 quality lines, plus a few d-men. Getting players back from injury that missed a lot a time is not nearly the same as bringing in a quality player via trade. There is going to be a period of adjustment when these players come back. That adjustment may be enough to keep them out of the playoffs. They are getting players that are coming off of injuries that missed a boatload of time. That is not the same as getting a fresh/healthy player in midseason form.I would be saying this regardless if it was the Wings or any team, not sure why its so hard to understand that. Then again I am trying to justify my opinions to a kid so what do I know?-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Marian Hossa joined the Blackhawks late and was a PPG player for like his first 10 or 11 games.
