Chicago always gets my respect, but don't forget that the Western is weak and their division isn't too impressive on top of that. It will be interesting to see what happens if they make it to the SCF. If they do....then the Pens/Canes/Devils will be their biggest test (yes, I honestly think that we are one of the three most likely teams to make it to the SCF this year).

The central is a tough division. Teams like St. Louis, Nashville, and Detroit are pretty good teams.

Columbus, yeah they suck. But the Southeast division is the weakest division. Florida is back to their old losing ways, but they have some young talent. Winnipeg well they are just a bit better then Columbus. Washington, what a mess that team is. Tampa, is the only possible threat. I hope Carolina can feed off those easy teams to catch a good seed in the playoffs.

Chicago just tied a NHL record, by gaining a point in their first 16 games to start a season tonight, with a win over Vancouver. Watching them play is like they are up against college players. They are on another level. Oh, and fug you Hansen of Vancouver, for that hit on Hossa.

      My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.

      Melo apologized and said he had been hit on the head and didn't know where he was at.
