Comment on Season Preview: NY Rangers by David

It’s just a question of insurance. With the way Lundqvist has played the past two years (especially the second half of last year) he’s obviously the guy you ride. But you should have at least a plan B - if Lundqvist were seriously injured, the Rangers have no experienced goaltender to lean on.

In other words, it’s not Weekes’ himself that the Rangers will miss; it’s simply having an experienced keeper in the wings who can step in should the King have some bad luck. Even the Vancouver Canucks grabbed Curtis Sanford as some insurance should Luongo go down.

I agree with your comments about the long-term contracts, but not with your last paragraph. Nobody’s going to miss Weekes. There’s a reason why he only appeared in 14 games: he’s just not very good.

Looks to me like Gomez is really going to click with the team. I am looking forward to a great season.

After watching the first game and a half, I have to point out that I’m finding myself rooting for Anaheim after all. As much as I’d like to see the cup back in Canada, I just can’t make myself hope for success for those damned Senators.

With the Sens knocking out my New Jersey Devils, and seeing how impressive Ottawa played, I gotta root for them to win.

Comment on West Matchup: (1) Detroit Red Wings vs. (5) San Jose Sharks by David

Detroit is certainly not making me look good with my predictions this year.

And San Jose, who looked so good in soundly thrashing the Predators in the first round, have looked very ordinary in most of this matchup.

I don’t believe that to be true. I think that if Hasek can stay stron and not give up stupid plays like he has, the relentless shots that Detroit puts on net, night in and night out, plus with the on ice sight that Datyuk, Zetterberg and Lidstorm bring, I see Detroit winning this series in 7.
