Washington should be the worst team by far, even with Ovechkin. I had a tough time leaving Atlanta off the playoff list. Waddel is underrated.

[Blue56]

Montreal over Boston??

[renuszm]

Yup. a little bias involved, but I truly believe this team is better. No bias towards the Leafs at all, they will be bad this year.

[Blue56]

I had a tough time chosing who too place last. Rangers or the Islanders. LOL

What does Ottawa have that makes everyone rank them #1? In other forums, everyone's saying Ottawa #1.....I just don't see it.

[renuszm]

Daniel Alfreddson, Dany Heatley, Martin Havlat, Jason Spezza and Dominek Hasek. They have a great team for sure.

Yeah, i'm starting to believe that since they have Lindros and Allison probably on the same line.
HEre's my new prediction of that section:

Ottawa
Boston
Toronto
Montreal
Buffalo

[renuszm]

the Leafs look like there just too old, and this is after they lost Niewendyk and Roberts. I wouldnt be able to trust players like Belfour the entire season at this point in their career. If there not old, there injury prone (Lindros, Allison). The only player that I think can have a big season is Mats Sundin, because you can never count out Mats.

Montreal's going down this year :D especially if they lose THeodore to injury.

What's with the sudden hate on my team? Theo won't go down to injury.And the habs are being ranked by everybody lower than they should be but I'm fine with that.It makes us that much more unpredictable.

Why would they lose Theodore to injury all of the sudden? It's not like he's injury prone...
