In my opinion, these are the two best teams in the East, and maybe in the sim (at least on paper). Who do you think will win tonight and what do you think the score will be?
Personally, I'm thinking Rangers 5-3.

(A little birdie told me that Manny Legace will be in net tonight). He won't be enough against the high powered Ottawa offense, however, Manny will stand on his head. I look for 65-70 shots between the two squads and the game ends in overtime 3-2. Ottawa wins.
I hope I am wrong for my good buddy Rich, but I think I may be accurate. Time will tell!

He wasted a Lundqvist start on those lowly Flyers?

He was actually in New York City the past few days...been busy. If he doesn't pull this game out, he may kick himself.

Ottawa, 3-2 in OT. I'm with you on this one Mark. I actually picked the score before seeing your prediction.

We weren't too far off, although it was a shootout...6-5. Rangers win. Good job, Richy.

I'm back from the big apple, board meeting at 304 west 56th street at the Bricco rest. a fine meal was put on for the ranger board meeting. a special thanks to Nino the rest owner on his new bartender addition, she's 25 and a set of rockets that are spectacular. the rangers did indeed win a close game and had to bring in our star goaltender at the end to do it. Lundqvist is a little tired right now so I expect Legace to play against the devils today. its late in the season and the rangers are starting to earn those big paychecks.

He wasted a Lundqvist start on those lowly Flyers? Now that wasn't a very diplomatic comment for the only NsHL team whose success relies on one player to make.

Jack, I'm proud of you son. I was going to make the same comment. You just beat me to it. Without Thornton, the Bruins are more like the team without any depth than the hottest team in hockey.
I mean, who starts Ivan Huml for a game in the pros, let alone 28.

Nice win by the Rangers, I will say though it is a common misconception thinking that the Senators are an Offensive Dynamo, were solid but right in the middle of the pack as far as team scoring goes. Something I am looking to adress and hopefully Scatchard will help out with giving a bit more size up front.

NsHL Stanley Cup Finals Predictions: Detroit over Boston in 5. Thornton disappears in the finals leading to Boston's demise. Jeff Traver shaves his head then deals Joe Thornton for Konstantin Koltsov from his laptop in rehab.

good stuff, Jack. I knew this would spawn some good comebacks.

I'm sure that Thornton also helped Marty Turco get a 2.48 GAA

Best two teams in the Sim? Man, no love for the Canes??

I'll give the Canes some credit. There were several pundits, including myself, who thought the Canes could do some serious damage this year. Great job, Jeremy.
