Actually, no. Perhaps they make them look tame in regards to pizza -- watching some of this baseball and football has reminded me of the magnificent glory of sports where big fat guys rule. Alas, that can't happen in hockey. Although it is a sport where you could smoke DuMaurier's in the penalty box and between periods.
well. i've got the leafs jersey on right now, but i knowthis is going to be a long season. i'll be happy if we makethe playoffs.
since i live in calgary, i'm surrounded by millions of bandwagon fans, which is really annoying, but i will admit they've got an awesome coach and a decent team. the fans SUCK though.
predictions? fucked if i know.

With the alleged crackdown on obstruction this year - I don't really think Philly will win it. Their defensive pick ups are all big and slow - Hatcher/Therien/Rathje plus both Primeau and Knuble are more power players. But I think the power forwards are better off than the huge defensemen - they'll be able to get to the net easier. But big, slow defensemen will be huge liability and all three guys I listed are big and slow and will be taken advantage of by the great skaters. Also, Esche hasn't proved himself in the playoffs.
I really don't know who to pick because every team has some kind of glaring weakness due to free agency. The fastest team is probably Tampa Bay but can Grahame/Burke stop the puck?? Detroit is in trouble with too old of a team, lost Kronwall for 6 months, and goaltending is really a problem - and I'm a Detroit slappy...
