My Rangers were very inconsistent the first half of the season, but now everything is coming together, and at the right time. I'm feeling really positive with them going into the off season.

I think the Rangers have a real shot at winning the Conference, but I think they're making the playoffs. The Rangers are getting a TON of contribution from their young talents Brandon Dubinsky, Ryan Callahan, Nigel Dawes, Dan Girardi and Fedor Tyutin. The 2 major off season pick ups Scott Gomez and Chris Drury have really stepped it up. I expect Chris Drury to wear the "C" next season. Brendan Shanahan provides a ton of leadership, and Jagr has really started to turn it on the last month.

Henrik Lundqvist is back to "King-like" form and Valiquette has proven he's a very solid backup. The Defense isn't spectacular, but they make due with what they have. And Sean Avery, the man people love to hate, but you want him on your team. Lock him up Slats!! ASAP!!!

How bout the rest of you guys?

After a very inconsistant majority of the season, the Sharks are finally playing like they were expected to by analysts and fans. I doubt we can catch Detroit, but hopefully we'll finish at the top of our division and have the 2nd best record in the league. HUGE divisional game against the damn Ducks tomorrow...

My Avs had the injury bug this year and it definitely spread amongst their best players but it seems everyone is getting healthy and getting ready for a playoff push. Theodore has been amazing this second half of the season and he's starting to regain the confidence he once had. It also seems Forsberg may be an on and off again player but that's okay, I'm sure he will be huge during the playoffs.

Anyways, they are sitting in 8th place with a 4 point cushion over the 9th place team but they need to start getting some wins to get a bigger lead.

Best in the league, however I haven't been able to watch them. Detroit just has too many good teams right now and it's hard to watch them all.

Henrik Lundqvist is back to "King-like" form

InterpolWilco

Theres my answer. If only the offense could score some more, they would be a top 4 seed.

Once the Wings get their full team back, they are going to be tough to beat. The last week, they've been doing well.

3 game losing streak and barely clinging onto to 8th seed. itll be interesing, if the avs get 8th seed, we will most likely play the wings first round, and with foppa and foote back, plus i heard red wings might be gettting mccarthy back, it should be an exciting match up. but first of all the avs have to pick up their game or well be going no where.

The Wild - They are doing well but are one of those teams who will make the playoffs, but have no chance of winning it all unless they get something more. The trade they made for Simon wasn't just stupid, it was insulting considering how much emphasis "family" in their PR and such.

Pens are doing well and they are an absolute joy to watch. I can't wait until Crosby and Hossa get a chance to play together. I have been pretty impressed with Hossa so far.

Toronto is in contention for the Cup as usual. I think we should be locking up that first seed pretty soon.

Not well because Vesa is the only player carrying us.

Our back end is surely lacking because we haven't learned anything from the Devils all these years and our defensemen are grossly overpaid.

Oh well, we've managed to hang around when the vast majority would agree that we have no business still being in the playoff picture so cross your fingers.

The Leafs are doing amazing considering they dont have Snudin or Antropov, there best players. I doubt they will make the playoffs because of early season woes...

The canes r making their playoff push. Winning 9 of the last 10. They play in streches of great and horrible. Since Brind'amour went down, Eric Staal and Cam Ward are carrying us. The couple of trades they made at the deadline were great. So far Evaes hasn't shown much offense, but Joe Korvo (sp) has helped imrpve the PP.

Thrashers have been terrible all year. No coach, no system, no passion, nothing. In serious need of house cleaning (and Stamkos or Doughty).

The Avs are clinging onto the 8th place in the West right now. Some injury issues but we are alright with Theodore finally emerging as our #1. The acquistions of Foote, Forsberg and Salei really improves our team. And we are coming off a HUGE (and I mean HUGE) 2-0 win over Calgary the other night. But we need to continue to win to hold of 9th place and red-hot Edmonton. Then again...so do Vancouver and Calgary lol.

The Blackhawks future look bright, with Seabrook, Keith, Toews, Kane, and Sharpe. Honestly if Havlat wasn't so injury prone, i think Chicago would have made the playoffs. Plus goaltending was very inconsistent this year. but i would watchout for the blackhawks next year.

They'll probably squeak into the playoffs during the last week. Of course, that was probably the goal for this year, so I guess the mission will probably be accomplished.

Seriously. Plus the Rangers are really hanging in there.

And notice the difference Scott Gomez makes? We need him if we're gonna make an impact in the playoffs.

Well the Sabres are on life support, but they're pretty much out barring a miracle collapse from Boston and Washington. Freaking the 3rd team in history (1st Montreal, then the Rangers) to finish first in overall points one season and miss the playoffs the next.

My Caps have been playing really well lately, and hopefully they'll finish the season strong to make the playoffs. We're not the best team in the league or anything, but when you have the best player in the world you always have a shot to make some noise.

yeah, but you guys will probably get, I mean steal the 8th seed thanks to your weak division.
