The NHL season gets underway this week!

My Pens and Kings are in for another long season I think...but the dreaded Ducks are looking good.

So once again...who is going to win Lord Stanley's Cup this season?

And sorry SimonB...the Leafs will be denied another year.

The Sabres are my longshot pick to go all the way, beating the Ducks in game six of the finals!! cool

Go Sabres


If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before.

Look for my Jackets to make the playoffs for the first time and then be put firmly back in their place for another year.


I will have a Belikin -- put it on klcman's tab.

I'm a fan of the lowly Wahington Caps in D.C. but it's because my son plays there, as a hockey professional in the NHL.

Just a little US-born kid bucking the odds with 'coke bottle' glasses skating on the natural outdoor ice rinks. But that said, he makes a pot-full of money.

Who's going to the Cup finals - even with an inside track: it's anybody's guess. For sure it's not Carolina - hah (due to the repeat stigma more than anything)!. The new CBA makes it a card shuffle each and every year. There no such thing as a steady locked-in lineup from year-to-year.

Sharks and the Flames in the West and the Senators, or you're correct, reaper; Buffalo in the east.

I like Dallas as a dark horse in the West and in the East - maybe, the NY Rangers.

Big market teams along the eastern seaboard get close and then fold in the "2nd season, that is the 2 1/2 month playoff run to the Cup. It's a brutal, exhausting finale spanning Oct to June. Probably too much but it's the money.

Always follow the money.

I work hard at not being tightly-wound about sports and hockey in particular! But that said, I need my 'satellite dish fix' where-ever I reside.

It's quite a treat, as a parent; being thrilled by a son, playing sports for $$$'s. Blessed, I am - truly blessed.

A key is keeping one's perspective and staying out of his personal and financial business. Recently though, I have been hinting: "pre-nup, pre-nup, pre-nup." Cynical, but practical enuf! Got to go - called my flight.

-Thx

The Pens vs. Caps was my first ever NHL game many years ago.
Ovechkin is amazing!
The Caps only have 4 US players on their team...
any hints so we can cheer for your son....

One of the best places to see a game is at the Joe downtown Detroit. Dinner in Greektown and a hockey game, doesn't get much better. (don't knock it unless you've tried it)


I've already told you more than I know.
