All-Star

They say he'll be back next Tuesday for the home opener. All-Star

As much as I would love that to happen, I think we all know what happens when the Habs have a lead going into the 3rd period, or are tied going into overtime. Tied for worst in the league last year in OTLs (9), and I do'nt really think it'll change too much. Hate to burst your bubble, but this version of the Habs doesn't have enough heart or gamebreaker-type players (aka Kastysitsin) to with in OT, let alone enough smart and safe players (Juneau is no longer safe) to hold a lead. Even if the odds are against it happening, stranger things have happened in the past... Any shot on net is a potential goal ...[Edited on 2003/10/9 by All-Star]

I predict a 3-2 win in overtime for Mtl. The scoring will be: First Period: Ott - White (Alfredson, Spezza) Mtl - Dwyer (Ryder, Quintal) Ryder's shot will hit him in the leg... Second Period: Ott - Hossa (unassisted) Third Period: Mtl - Brisebois (Zednik, Ribeiro) Overtime: Mtl - Hossa (Souray) Three Stars: 1 - Theodore 2 - Marcel Hossa 3 - Marian Hossa All-Star

I guess that means they chose Higgins over Plekanec to play with the big boys against Ottawa and Toronto... Good for him.

My Predictions (and my first post :/)): 1. Senators (No doubt) 2. Devils (Should win the division) 3. Lightning (Should win the division) 4. Leafs (No Cup For Them Though!!! ) 5. Bruins (They are good up front) 6. Flyers (Hackett << Checkmanek) 7. Canadiens (I can hope can't I?) 8. Islanders (The best team of what's left) _________________ 9. Rangers (Another year of wasting $$) 10. Sabres (Imo, They should be better this year) 11. Capitals (They still have some good players) 12. Panthers (Still young, will be good someday) 13. Hurricanes (Results of last year's panic attack) 14. Thrashers (No Heatley, no defence...) 15. Penguins (One horse show...) All-Star
