Hockey is back and now its time to drop the puck!!!!!!

You wouldn't think me of all people that i am a hockey fan but you are wrong i am a huge hockey fan who cant wait for the season to start. Tonight, we finally can say we are dropping the puck and seeing some hockey. This year alot of teams are starting fresh and look to go after the Stanley Cup and take it away from the Los Angeles Kings who had won it last year. Last years teams gained some star player or player they needed to cover there area of weakeness. In the Eastern Conference all the teams look very strong especially the playoff teams like the Rangers, Devils, Peguins, Flyers and Capitals for the Western Conference the Blakhawks, Wild, Red Wings, and others who will compete against these top teams in there respectful division. For the first game of the year they put some good ones on the schedule with the Peguins versus the Flyers and the Rangers versus Bruins. All four teams are developing a great rivarly between each other and now with a very condensed schedule which is a 48 game season no one knows what the outcome will be. Out of both conferences i think it will be the Rangers and Wild facing each other in the Stanley Cup finals. Both teams have the core of there squad back with new additions to the equation.

The Rangers have a special team who is young, hungry, and are on a mission last year from last seasons success. They were dissappointed in the outcome because they knew they can go all the way and win the championship. The Rangers made a huge trade in the off season by acquiring Rick Nash from the Colombus Blue Jackets. With the acquistion of Nash now it makes diffcult for coaches who are the opponents to figure out who to put the defenseman on which gives the edge to the Rangers who i think are going to be very special and lead to something we havent seen in a long time out of the Rangers. With the Minnesota Wild they have a veteran team who look like they are healthy and ready to play they have good scores and good defenseman which is important. I think it will be a competive Western Conference but i think after the dust cleares the Wild will be victorious coming out of that division.

Here is my quick thought on this years NHL season I will have more to come in the next couple of days after i am able to analyze each team. Come back tomorrow after the NFL championship games hope everyone is having a good and safe weekend.
