Can't wait!!!!!

It'll probably take a little while, a few good games, for the bitterness to subside for me. The Canucks aught to have another good season this year.

The Canucks better have a good season! I just hope the tickets go down a bit "same prices as Calgary games in the " Saddle Dome"

It's like how you want to buy something really badly, but decide to wait until it gets to a better price or something, and then after a few weeks you realize that you don't really want it anymore.
That's sort of how I feel about this season, but I'm positive that I will be hyped up about it once I see a few games. My dad just won some tickets to the Sens vs. Leafs game next weekend, but decided to sell them since we aren't able to go.
Anyway, I'm definitely going to be supporting the Sens again (why wouldn't I), and hope that the new player/goalie switches actually improve them as a team.

Also a Canadian team better win the Cup this Year. cough cough ... Canucks....
- Fanco0
I'm for any Canadian teams BUT the Leafs!!

I like the new rules they've introduced this season - should make for some really fluid playing...
- vealemoble0
I hope so Jevad i hope so... i will be happy if a team from the west wins

being from pittsburgh, i am partial to the penguins..but aside from that their team looks good, talent wise!
time will tell. looking forward to catching a few games.

i still think they should remove those teams in cities with crappy markets. like nashville, anaheim, etc.
anywhere were you can't naturally find ice should not have a hockey team.
and when a team gets named after a series of crappy movie (mighty ducks), you just can't take the game seriously anymore.

i agree. hockey is the shiznit. i've gone to two kings games so far at the staples center. my girl's an avalanche fan but she's kinda grown up in colorado so i let it go. i'm truly a long beach ice dog fan tho! go dogs!
and uh yeah, season tix is the way to go! i love mid-ice season tix haha! woot!

Penguins 7 goals.
Crosby is a phenom prodigy of Gretzky/Lemieux.
- canuck0
7 goals eh!
Was this their first preseason win?

My beloved Maple Leafs are gonna suck. I give Lindros until Christmas before he's knocked out and retired from hockey for good. This will be the only thing to look forward to this season. :(

The Sens haven't lost any pre-season games yet! They totally kicked other teams' asses in their last three games, especially against Toronto. W0000ttt!!!
I thought we'd be in trouble for not trading as much as we should have but the managers obviously knew what they were doing. The new players had so many goals over the past few games, and one had a hat-trick.
- MrRemote0
Official prediction:
5 min into second period. Lindros picks up a pass at the red line, swings out wide, cuts back in to the centre as he's crossing the blue line... and had his clock cleaned by Mike Peca.
Maybe he can start a car washing business with his glass chined brother Brent once the ringing in his ears goes away.

Let's see....the scores for the Sens so far:
Ottawa vs. Toronto Win 5-2
Pittsburgh vs. Ottawa Win 3-0
Ottawa vs. Pittsburgh Win 6-2
Toronto vs. Ottawa Win 7-4Yup, undefeated. Spezza and Bochensk have been stars so far. I'm sort of glad we only have two players over the age of 30, one being the captain.
