Yeah, but they're one of the better 0-12 teams I've ever seen. Like San
Diego last year, they very easily could have 4 or 5 or 6 wins right now, but
lost some close games.
the tigers are perennially embarrassing (and

Much as I hate to say it (them being the Wings and all), I still think the
Wings have the best shot this year (but probably only this year, as next
year most of the starters will be collecting social security). And they lost
to a really, really hot team in the Kings. Which almost knocked the
Avalanche off, too.

Yeah. I was really impressed with my ol' Buffaloes this year. But honestly,
all their whining about not getting to play for the national championship is
a little much. I mean, sure Nebraska blows this year (which the Buffs showed
Thanksgiving weekend - a beautiful day), but Oregon has more right to play
for the title than CU does.

Not sure. All they lost in the off-season was Bourque and Forsberg (who
might be coming back in the spring). But Blake's been hurt, and they're
really struggling to score goals. Oh well. Can't win every season, you know?

Ah, sounds familiar. Go Rockies and take the Nuggets with you...
