Eklund: Exactly What Will Happen in the Atlantic (SPOILER ALERT!)
- Eklund

From whose stand point?

I think, by the end of things, the Pens will pass the Flyers in the standings.

I think the isles will surprise alot of people.

Flyers are the best!!!

FLYERSBUZZ!!

Have to agree. Still a lot of time for roster moves to be made, but if they stay healthy, Pittsburgh/NYR should finish 1-2.

Flyers are the best!!!

Is bryz even aware that hockey is back? I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't show up. He's probably lost somewhere.

Ek didn't completely trash the devils like the rest of the media? is this opposite day?

i love the way the rangers look on paper, but we've all heard that countless times over the years. i really doubt they're going to sweep the season series against the flyers again and the ranger success seems to be weighed pretty heavily on two guys who have a combined zero regular season games in a rangers uniform. either they win the atlantic or they crash and burn.

1. Rangers
2. Pens
3. Flyers
4. Devils
5. Islanders

Defense stinks and I'm an Islanders fan...how is this kid Hickey you gave us?

I would sh*t my pants if the devils got Benn but they do need to start getting younger

Ek,

What are you hearing in regards to Redden and Gomez?

The Flyers are gonna be sh*t w/out Jagr...

Seems like every year the Devs are picked to finish in the bottom half of the division. Keep underestimating the Devils, that's how we like it!

1. NYR
2. BOS
3. Tampa
4. Pitt
5. PHI
6. WSH
7. BUF
8. NYI
9. OTT
10. CAR
11. TOR
12. NJ
13. FLA

Why are they bringing back the fisherman jersey's?!

You know it...they probs took the second biggest losses other then Wings

The Rangers, Flyers, and Pens will finish within 4 points of one another. One popular line of thought here is that Shero figured there would be a lockout and a shortened season with a condensed schedule, so the signing of Vokoun allows them to not have to overplay MAF, which is what happened last year because Johnson wet the bed every time he played.
