devils jersey of Windsor The Thunder
the top eight teams in the West, with a caveat that, while picking the Columbus Blue Jackets for the last playoff spot, it is more than likely that Calgary will be there instead. So, I have no choice but leading with the Flames on the list of teams that we think wont make the playoffs.1. Calgary Flames If I were completely objective and rational, Id put Calgary into the playoffs, based on the way they finished last season. If they keep that rate up, they can do even better than eighth. They lost defenseman Robgyn Regehr over the summer, and they didnt add much, so there is .Jason Arnott Jerseya good chance they wont play as well as they did late in the last season. Who knows This is a big guess anyway.2. Phoenix Coyotes The loss of Ilya Bryzgalov in goal will be devastating. So will be the departure of Vewrnon Fiddler, Ed Jovanovski, and Eric Belanger. Its hard to see how the offseason additions will make up for the offseason losses. Having said that, though, if things click, the Coyotes still could make the playoffs.3. Minnesota Wild Defense seems to be a challenge this ye. Joel Ward Jerseyar. Plus, it looks like a front office tear it down before we build it back up situation. So, why then, are we picking the Wild at 11th rather than lower We think theyll play reasonable solid hockey for the talent level that they have in place.4. Nashville Predators A lot of people think Nashville, coming off a playoff win last year, will improve this year. In fact, it would be easy to pick them for the last playoff spot. But, it just seems that things just arent right. They lost a lot of p. Shea Weber Jersey 6eople in the summer, and Im not sure really good players like Shea Weber can make enough of a difference.5. Edmonton Oilers We love Edmonton fans. We think they need a moral victory, if not the first choice in the NFL draft. So, were not picking them last. Were picking them two spots from last. We cant see the Oilers making the playoffs, but we can see them dropping below 13th.6. Colorado Avalanche The Avalanche are in a deep amount of hurt. But ma Maple Leafs and St. Louis Blues along.Steve Sullivan Jersey the way. The man who was drafted straight out of high school in the United States is now a member of the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame.In 200910, 68 defenseman Tyler Myers won the Calder. Tyler was the 12th overall pick of the Sabres in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. While earning the Calder, Myers played in all 82 regular season games for Buffalo, scoring eleven and totalling 48 points from the point.Like Barrasso, Myers is also Americanborn but moved to Canada when he was 10. He spent f.Anze Kopitar Jerseyour years with the Kelowna Rockets of the Western Hockey League before being drafted. In his final season of junior, he helped Kelowna to the WHL championships and a berth in the Memorial Cup. As well, he helped Canada to a gold medal win at the IIHF World Junior hockey championships.The Niagara Falls Thunder represented an eight year stop on the road for a welltravelled Ontario Hockey League franchise that began as the Windsor Spitfires in 194647. That Spitfires club has no relation to th.Anze Kopitar Jerseye current team that plays out of Windsor. The Thunder played between 198889 and 199596. Previous to that, the team was known as the Hamilton Steelhawks. Now, they are the Erie Otters. In those eight seasons, a member of the Niagara Falls Thunder won the Eddie Powers Trophy as the leagues top scorer three times.In the first Thunder season, 198889, Bryan Fogarty ripped the OHL apart from his defensive position. Fogarty totalled 155 points from the point and was ten points ahead of the next man, teammate Stan Drulia. Bryan was also awarded the Max Kaminsky Trophy as the OHLs top defenseman and the Red Tilson Trophy as the leagues most outstanding player. Niagara Falls finished the season, second in the Emms Division and lost in the Robertson Cup championship to the Peterborough Petes in six games.Bryan played four seaons in the OHL from 198586 to 198889. He played his first three years with the Kingston Canadians. He played a total of 156 NHL regular season games between 198990 and 199495 with the Quebec Nordique
