    Haven't you people learned anything? Phliars ALWAYS look good...during the first half of the season. They're one injury away from disaster, and that would be to the tough but brittle Pronger. He's their glue. and usually breaks at least one bone per season. We'll see.

    Oh and beware NHL fans. Though I'm not a fan of their's, the NY Islanders are for real and will be a playoff club either this year or next. They have lots of young talent, also a terrific coach. After 6-8 years of high drafts, the Islanders dam is ready to break. Because of it, they'll get their new arena built or they'll move. Look at the Kings this season. Look at the Pens of the last two seasons. Same thing.

    Get off Huet's back!! Once Hossa returns Hawks will score 5 a game. Plenty of margin for Huet's lapses.
