How well do you think the Montreal Canadiens will do this year ??

They'll go past the first round of the playoffs then lost in the 2nd round. They've got a bright future ahead though.  With two great goalies (if they keep them both), they'd be a threat for a few years. GO HABS.

I think the team is decent.  I don't think they will win it all, but they are good enough to cause trouble and possibly might be able to take out a more favored team.

Are you kidding, Moon? The Buffalo Sabres have been my team since their inception. I was only 6 when they made their NHL debut in 1970. Gilbert Perreault was my childhood hero growing up in those snowy Buffalo winters I recall so fondly. Erm, those same winters become less fun as one ages, I can tell you. lol...\n\nAlthough I've not lived there in many a winter I remain steadfastly loyal to the Sabres and have thoroughly enjoyed this exciting comeback season and playoffs -- and we're not finished yet! Although we lost to favoured Ottawa last night, we're still up 3-1 in the series and I believe we'll finish them off on Saturday (Monday at latest).\n\nAs for who their best players are, please bear in mind that these talented young Sabres are a team with a capital T. They are something of a no-name cast who outwork, outskate and outhustle every team they face. I adore this club! The consensus best players are: Ryan Miller (their exceptional rookie goaltender), Daniel Briere (co-captain), J.P. Dumont (Briere's linemate and close friend), Jochen Hecht (3rd member of that line and the team's best defensive forward), Chris Drury (the other co-captain), Maxim Afinogenov (best and fastest skater and playmaker) and their younger future star players like Tim Connolly, Ales Kotalik, Derek Roy and Brian Campbell. I'm leaving players out because, by rights, I should just name the entire team. It's just an amazing group of players (and coaches) who get along great and support each other on and off the ice. I LOVE this freaking team and, baby, we are going ALL THE WAY!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!! \n\nP.S. Thank you for asking! :)

If they do, will they go much farther.  I'm so disappointed with this team.  I can't believe how they look, I never anticipated this.

I think they will do better than last season, but still lack at defense. I don't think they will make the playoffs. Next year will be better. The stadium is built and games will be played there this season and the spirit is not broken to all you haters.

From the beginning of the season everyone said they would battle for a playoff spot all year. \n\nIn my opinion, the Leafs do not have consistent players in goal. Belfour is quickly nearing the end of his career, Tellqvist does not have enough experience to lead the team, and Aubin hasn't played a game in almost two years. \n\nTheir offense is a sad story, Chad Kilger has the most even strength goals on the team.\n\nFinally, the most evident part is their defense. Since McCabe went down with an injury their season started to do the same. Hopefully they will get a good draft pick and make some changes in management to have a better year in 06-07.

Unfortunately I think they're get beat in the Eastern Conference Finals by Ottawa. Although the Flyers have been able to beat Hasek in the past, so I'll keep my fingers crossed!\nOh, and Gagne needs to figure out that he can play without Forsberg, he's been awful since Forsberg got hurt.

Those kids in Pittsburgh are on fire. With Malkin, Crosby, Stall, and Fleury in their line up they've got a great future and will finally make it to the playoffs.\nMontreal Canadiens. Goalie controversy. I'm a bit disappointed with the way Huet is playing right now but it's great that we kept Aebischer. Go HABS.

not too much.  they may have beat detroit but they will not get past round two.  i say whoever plays them will win in 5 games.

Not until they find themselves a true starting goalie. Auld did a great job filling in for Cloutier this year, however even when Cloutier is at his healthy and at his best he is not an elite goalie. They have solid players and as long as they keep the core together (Naslund, Jovonoski, Bertuzzi, maybe the Sedin line), they should be a strong team next year.

They'll make the playoffs and probably lose first round. But coming off 2 consecutive last place seasons thats a great jump start for the coming years.  With Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, of course Sidney Crosby and Marc Andre Fluery in net this team is loaded with young, super talented 1st round draft picks and will only improve with the coming years.  Also with veterans like Mark Recchi,  Johan LeClair and Sergi Gonchar it always help to have the veteran experience. \n\nThe Biggest knock on them as has been for the last couple years is there lack of overall defense but that something they can surely improve on with a good trade or something.  Also there in a division that doesnt really have a great stand out team so I think the future is quite bright for the Pens.

Well they all seem to be having their good and bad games, but the Habs are definitely picking up their game this year.  Toronto sucks as usual, and don't get me started on the Sens...how embarrassing...For a team that was predicted to win the Cup last year, scoring under .500 already isn't a good sign.  I guess it's too early to tell.

I think he will be better than he has been this season.  A trade often has that effect.  I don't know if he will be the best he has ever been, and I don't think he will be another Patrick Roy.
