1) Would never ignore a loyal reader, but as you can see we've been busy with our predictions issues.
2) The Eklund outing piece is still in the process of being reseasrched/written. Rest assured, despite posts/e-mails of intimidation and threats, it WILL be written!
3) As far as your Habs are concerned, I'm sorry to say but if you're unhappy with their roster, it appears that it will be the team they will have at least the first month or so.

1) We aren't a "band wagon" site. We infact START the bandwagons for others to follow.
2) We like what The Wild did in regard to supplementing their offense. If Fernandez is as good as he thinks, they will be a playoff team.
3) Same for Nashville, who also will have the benefit of playing Chicago, the Blues, and Columbus 24 times.
4) It will take more than JD to resurrect the Blues. They signed a bunch of vets to attract fans, but in the end their starting goaltending will be the worst in hockey

1) As for the Habs, 'rainbow if you've ever been the Quebec you'd understand.
2) They are very knowledgeable and rabid fans of their team. They want to win very badly. Nothing less than a Cup would suffice in the city that has more championships than any other.
3) We don't like their addition of Niinimaa, though we hear most Habs fans dislike Ribiero.
