THN Ranks San Jose #1 In The West

from The Hockey News,
The defending Presidents’ Trophy winners, despite their inability to cash in in the playoffs, are a good bet to repeat as regular season champs after a summer of little roster turnover. Look for sophomore bench boss Todd McLellan to have his troops better prepared for the stretch run, where they struggled badly in 2008-09.
more on all the teams and where they rank for the regular season…

Detroit 4th. I think that’s a little low. I don’t see Vancouver or Chcago higher.But maybe Calgary ? It’s only the regular season rankings though.
Also, they got Kane ranked 34th among players, with Toews out of the top 50 after being 40th last year.
I think Toews has it all over Kane.

A lion for the regular season, a lamb in the play-offs. Why does the Canadian media love this team so much? Is because of some infatuation with heartless slug, Joe Thornton? This captain-less team will be a carbon copy of last year…doomed to fail.

They also have The Crapitals 2nd in the East & the Pens 3rd , What the hell has Wash. done to improve ?? They lost Fedorov & Kozlov & Ovechkin STILL WON’T Play defense
THN is worthless anymore, It’s a shame

Sharks are a great team, but it’s time to stop predicting them to do anything worthy.

Correct, the same team,
Even after the G.M. said there will be magor changes. When? Where?

1) I’m a Sharks fan and 2) I love most of the stuff in the THN yearbook but I’ve started just to ignore (or roll my eyes) at the season predictions across the board. A bunch of rosters still aren’t set, major free agents are still out there, and you can’t predict injuries, trades, etc. I know it’s kind of a requirement for these types of magazines but I think it’s kind of a pointless exercise.
