from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet,
As we near the Christmas break, it is time to identify the biggest surprises and disappointments to date of the 2009-10 season.
In the Eastern Conference, my biggest surprise is the emergence of the New Jersey Devils as the best team in the league. Not that we should really be surprised. Perhaps surprise is the wrong word. General manager Lou Lamoriello always has his team in the hunt….
In the Western Conference, my biggest surprise is Patrick Marleau. There were all kinds of rumours that the San Jose Sharks wanted to trade him last summer, though GM Doug Wilson insists that was never the case. Still, the Sharks did take the captaincy away from Marleau so it remained to be seen what affect that would have on the veteran in his 13th NHL season….
