Official 2011-12 NHL Thread - Congratulations to the Los Angeles Kings!

Hockey is back! After a summer of tragedy, it's time to drop the puck!

Who's the Cup favorite? Who made the best off season moves? When will Crosby return? When will Doughty sign?


And to start off the season, Mike Modano officially retired yesterday.

My predictions on who makes it:

East: Ottawa and Buffalo. Washington just looks too sour.

West: LA and Phoenix.
I'll agree with you on the East teams making it in.

As for the west, I see LA and PHX making it as well, but I think the Stars are going to have some serious issues with their remaining games, and won't be surprised to see them get bumped out, and SJ in winning the division. That home-and-home they got with each other is going to be HUGE.

I don't understand the wings sometimes. How can they... within the space of 3 days... go from destroying a team 7-2 to losing to them 2-4? It baffles me.

And for the love of god please stop putting Conklin in! He has got to be the worst goalie ever. Almost every time that guy is in the crease the goals just go flying by him.

I prefer not to think about that Frown

Just like I prefer not to recall their past two games against the Islanders.

10 points against the Islanders in two games. The ISLANDERS?!??!? They can put the blame on their 3 normal d-men being out, but they need to right this ship in a hurry.

Yeah, I was shocked the Isles won both games - but they always play tough games against the Atlantic teams.

I think now the Rangers just need 5 points to win the east as they win any tie-breaker Big Grin Looks like it could be a Pens-Flyers first round. That would be rough. Devils would probably get Florida.

You see him almost break his stick after the second goal? That man was pissed.

He's their only choice. Can't trade and Howard and Macdonald are hurt...Well, Howard is back now, but he has missed a lot of games coming into the playoffs.

They had the backup goalie. Pearce should have been in after Conklin gave up 3 goals in the first 9 minutes.

Let us hope.. On this apriliest of fool days... that the redwings suddenly say "Oh yea, all that losing we've been doing and playing like a bad team? Jokes on you!" and beat the Panthers 40 gazillion to 0.
