New Year, New Hopes, New Stanley Cup Champ.

For some of us, especially those of us who grew up near or in the Great White North, the best thing about the start of football season is that it is a month until the start of hockey season. Anyone want to make some early prognostications or start bragging rights? I'll start out early with the Caps, due to Boudreau's coaching and Ovechkin, even though I am not a Caps fan. They came on strong in the second half last year and I think that they will continue.
