NJayDevil Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 http://www.faceoff.com/nhl/rankings/1008_2002.html Rank LW TEAM Record Bottom Line 1 _ Detroit Red Wings _ Who's better at finding good, young talent? 2 _ Colorado Avalanche _ Fill hole left by Bourque with Morris trade. 3 _ Dallas Stars _ Could have three dangerous scoring lines. 4 _ New Jersey Devils _ Transition game better with Tverdovsky. 5 _ Vancouver Canucks _ Defence is better if Salo can stay off IR. 6 _ San Jose Sharks _ Kiprusoff no Nabokov, but not chicken feed. 7 _ Carolina Hurricanes _ Could be slowed by Kapanen ankle injury. 8 _ Toronto Maple Leafs _ Defence remains biggest question mark. 9 _ Los Angeles Kings _ Smolinski needs to return to 2000-01 form. 10 _ Montreal Canadiens _ Three forward lines clicking in pre-season. 11 _ Ottawa Senators _ Talent is there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilsFan Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Yeah Baby... Looks like a free pass to Stanley Cup Finals{according to them}... With addition of couple of players at the trade deadline, they might really prove it.. Go Devils!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 Carolina as the second best team in the East? Are you kidding the SBT? The Flyers and Sens are much better than the Canes. Last year's trip to the finals was a fluke. No friggin' way they should have beaten the Devils. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueNJ97 Posted October 9, 2002 Share Posted October 9, 2002 I think 4th is a little too high for the Devs. I can see 8-10, but not 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
