With the team Toronto has set up it can only go 2 ways.

They could explode, and make it into the playoffs and have an overall good year.

Or they could implode, with no real leadership and alot of young players it could be a revamping year.

It is always hard to judge a team like Toronto's.

Maybe so, but dude, Ron Wilson isn't necessarily a good thing for any team.

But hey, I'll be sportsmanlike and say "good luck."

Yay, hockey talk!

Pittsburgh: The favorite, despite their significant free agent losses.
Dallas: Serious contender. Turco has erased the doubts about his playoff bonafides.
Detroit: As always, they'll be there. But how long can they defy age?
San Jose: Chokers until proven otherwise.
Washington: Good and on the rise, but who's stopping the puck? Fatal flaw.
Ottawa: See San Jose.
NYR: Actually, a lot more solid than many of these names.
Toronto: Whatever drug you're on, I want some.
Anaheim: Range of possibilities is endless. Neither winning the Cup or missing the playoffs would be a surprise.
Montreal: Skilled, but no heart and susceptible to an early exit.
Philadelphia: My team, so I hesitate to guess. That said, my guess is a deep run that comes up short.

Canadian love for a hockey team that has heart.

The guys defending the Alamo had heart, too.

The Flyers lost their preseason game against the Phantoms (their AHL affiliate). I think this is a very good omen.

My God... Is that common to happen?

Attn: Jen and Lucifer

Toronto and Detroit will be at it tomorrow night. Game is showing on Versus at 7:00pm ET.

San Jose and Anaheim are playing tomorrow as well. Living on the East coast during hockey season bums me out, because I only get to see a handful of Sharks games. The playoffs is really the only time I get to watch. :/

Yes, that has happened in the past. Our starting goaltender didn't play, nor did a couple of defensemen and one forward. It's a good sign for the medium-term strength of the organization that our AHL affiliate is good, though. It's rare when an NHL team and the affiliate are elite simultaneously, so that is nice. We have a few young guys who could easily be in the NHL, but are in juniors or on the Phantoms because of the depth of the Flyers' talent.

Ahh, I see now.
