MY 3 SONS!

And so we begin......

Alas, the NHL resumed its' regular season last night. (Sorry Oiler fans, your 6-2-0 record in pre-season means nothing).

More importantly, the Flames start their season tonight up in the mighty hole called Edmonton. (Hey what a great name for their team, instead of Mighty Ducks of Anaheim, the Mighty Hole of Edmonton). Anyway, hockey is by far the most entertaining sport to watch, as most Canadians would agree, and it would appear the Sports networks would also agree as all but 5 of the Flames games are televised this season.

Here are my bold predictions for the 2006/07 campaign;
1. Jarome Iginla will hit 50 goals / 100 points this season
2. Alex Tanguay will hit 40 goals / 80 points
3. Flames will finish first in division, 3rd in Conference for their 3rd consecutive season with a banner to raise.
4. Oilers will finish 9th, missing the play-offs after their Cup run....ahem
5. Canucks will be dismal finishing 10th or worse.
6. Flames will win the Stanley Cup defeating the Buffalo Sabres in 6 games.
7. Markannen will end up the starting goalie in Edmonton after Rolason is given up on after 20-25 games.

So bloggers, what are YOUR predictions? (I know they will be extremely different from mine for some........but it's OK to be wrong, so don't feel so bad).
