The NHL season begins in less than 48 hours.
The big news is the change in goalie equipment. Pad have to bit the size of the player and there is way less protection around the collarbone. The aim is to increase scoring but I wonder if it will also increase injury.
They way I see it:
Everyone wants to know if the Caps can repeat. They didn't change much in the off season so we shall see. Remember, Trotz is gone.
The Preds, Jets, Knights, Sharks, Columbus, Pens, Tampa, BRUINS
should do well.
The Habs, Calgary, LA, Islanders, Chicago, Buffalo, Hurricanes, are still in trouble.
Could go either way: NJ (sorry Flattbutt), Colorado, Wild, Leafs, Flyers.
Tom Wilson will make Brad Marchand look like a choir boy.
. Cindy will still whine.
and the fans will still boo Bettman.
