Tampa Bay is currently in the 8th spot in the East. It's a toss up between Montreal & New Jersey for the final spot.\n\nRight now Edmonton is in the 8th spot, tied with San Jose. Colorado is only one point ahead of Edmonton and San Jose.

Sorry Billy you are wrong... \n\nEven if we count the entire 89-90 season for Lemieux has got a total of 838 points in the '80 (don't forget he only start in the 84-85 season.\n\nThe right answer is... Peter Stastny. When he was trade to the New Jersey Devils in 1989 Peter had already 1048 points in the '80. He is the second player the get the 1000 point during a decade.

sharks will be the western conference final champions.  the ducks will be roasted in the western conference finals by the sharks.  in the east it will be a dog fight between buffalo and the winner of the new jersey-carolina series. if the 'canes win i say it will be buffalo vs san kose for the cup.  if the devils win i say new jersey will have to pull out a few miracles to beat buffalo. either way it'll be buffalo and san jose to play for the stanley cup

san jose will be the dark horse of the west in the playoffs.  on paper the wings are the best.  how they hold up in the playoffs is a different story.  you have a good point about thorton.  he is good.  i hope they face the wings in the playoffs.

This year it was the east. The east has also won more in the history of the all-star game. What seperates them? East is known for guards west is known for forwards...most centers in the league right now just suck.

well, shanny's not gay.  he has three kids and is married.   they lost due to datsyuk and manny legace. legace's failure to quit letting in bs goals lead to his demise in the playoffs.  the team is solid and capable of winning.  edmonton progressed and is going to the second round against colorado.  the team was flat and not fast enough.

they need real goal tending! i was embarsed to see them trade Abby to montreal for Theodore, Abby kept Switserland in the olympics far longer than they should have been and Theodore has been run out of the net more often than France out of Paris. So bad that they took to starting Huet on a regular basis, sucker trade, but the fans in Colorado want a name to replace Roy and Jose has won a Vesnia.

The Russians (w/Malkin and Ovechkin) look very strong, but I think the Canadians are still a better team.\n\nSo...Canada would be my pick.

I actually think so. They've done some really good moves to bolster the team - the trade for Thornton being paramount. The main reason isn't so much based on the strengths of their own team (even though they showed some stamina against the Preds tonight and got the OT win) as other teams above them in the West right now faultering. I predict Anaheim and Colorado out of the playoffs in 15-16 games time and the Sharks sneaking into that 8th spot.

if you mean all star 2006- it was the east team

Buffallo deserves to and the city really really really really needs to win something. Ottawa may prove to be too much but they certainly don't show the spirit of the Sabres as a team. Also Mighty Ducks seem to be peaking at the right time and have the best on ice leader. Buffallo i say. Jeez..i forgot Edmonton was still in it..i go with Edmonton but Buffalo still deserves it the most.

Devils in 95 I think were 8th seed

No....for a number of reasons......losing Mark Eaton for 2-3 months really hurt...he was becoming the best defenseman they had, and they already miss his shot blocking and penalty killing abilities. They really have no one to take his spot, and Brooks Orpik is being slowly brought back after his hand surgery. Sergei Gonchar has struggled since Eaton was hurt (9 points - 2G,7A, +1 before the injury;3 points - 3A,-3 after it). They don't have the necessary toughness yet, their face-off success is low, they take too many lazy penalties, Marc-Andre Fleury has been somewhat inconsistent (although he'd played several very good games) and their power play has been struggling. Interestingly, Sidney Crosby is not used to kill penalties at this time (thereby leaving their best offensive threat  to languish on the bench for extended periods of time). While Malkin has been shown to be the real deal, his supporting cast has struggled...John LeClare and Mark Recchi two proven scorers in past years) haven't been exactly red hot, and neither has Colby Armstrong. Michel Therrien has tried numeros combinations to get more goals, and he still hasn't been satisfied with the results. They do have a promising team, however, so that while they won't make the playoffs this year, with proper draft choices and trades, they could be a real challenger for the cup in the near-future.

It looks like the Carolina Hurricanes are going to win, because they are up 3-1 in the series.  I would have said that it would be a close series going until 7 games, but the Edmonton Oilers basically got to the finals because of their goalie Dwayne Roloson.  Now that he's injured, they don't have much of a chance because their remaining goalies are not very good.
