Also I agree Calgary and Detroit should both be playoff teams. And why Vancouver so high sure they gained Luongo but they lost Bert, Jovo, Park, Carter I think theyre a 7th or 8th seed at best. I think the conference will look like this 1. San Jose 2. Calgary(close battle between them and nashville for second) 3. Nashville 4. Anaheim 5. Dallas 6. Detroit 7. Vancouver 8. Colorado (they never miss) Woah! everyones picking Anahiem to miss the playoffs when they made the third round last year and added pronger to the team?

San Jose 2. Vancouver 3. Nashville 4. Dallas 5. Colorado 6. Calgary 7. Detroit 8. Edmonton/Los Angeles The last Playoff seed will be hotly Contested for.. as always, but i do think this is the year all 3 teams in the west make the playoffs and would mark the most playoff teams from canada in about 10 or so with 5 whoa… thats odd predictions.. detroit missing the playoffs??

Vancouver - 101 points with a very similar team. This teams will tear up the regular season then fall apart in the post season. Just as autumn follows summer and winter follows fall. 2. San Jose - Another strong young team. Again, is similar to Shark team iced in the past. The team to beat in the west. 3. Nashville - You read it here in September. 4. Detroit - The wings are not a league doormat yet are they stevie. 5. Dallas - Two years ago the wheels fell off. This teams will ride Turco and Modano to respectability 6. Los Angeles - I don't know who yet , but somebody will rise to the goaltending challange in California. 7. Calgary - "Old time hockey coach! Eddie Shore!" 8. Colorado - When was the last time this team didn't make the playoffs. When they lost the division to the Whalers? 1. Vancouver - 101 points with a very similar team.

Predictions made before the first game has even started. Take them with a grain of salt. I do think Chicago has improved their team, I do think Calgary will suffer a little bit of a cup hangover. Could they still make the playoffs? Could they still finish first overall? Of course, but my feeling is no. What happens if Calgary does poorly in their division? Lets say 10-22. Chicago goes 22-10. All of a sudden Calgary's at the bottom of their division and Chicago's at the top of theirs. Also keep in mind there are no ties this year. Chicago is just as likely to win in overtime or in a shootout as Calgary is, or Columbus or any other 'weak' team is. I also noted that the in and out margin is going to be very slim, we're talking some teams missing 8th spot by 1, 2 or 3 points. 8 teams isn't many, some decent teams just won't get in.

Are you saying you actually think Chicago is a better team than Calgary? Why would you pick Chicago to make the playoffs while Calgary misses them?
