Well it's an exciting day. The first day of the new NHL season is here! Passed along a few thoughts this morning. Just a little review, here are a few teams I’m thinking will make some noise this year:
First up, The Toronto Maple Leafs. Go Leafs Go!! Yes, I’ve drank the Kool-Aid and Yes, I think the Leafs will make the playoffs this year. I’m goin’ bold, infact hopeful for a 6th place finish in the East come playoff time…
Some other mentions. I think Chicago is going to have another great year, even with all their off season changes. And my choices for who to watch for. Interestingly, I find myself back to my Dark Horse picks from last year’s playoffs. In the East, the Buffalo Sabres are the team I’ll be keeping and eye on. In the West it’s the The LA Kings.
---P.S. Ryan Smyth: My favourite NHL player, and he’s still got the best hair in Hockey!! ha
What are your thoughts--the upcoming NHL season? My Choices? Lemme know HERE
