Cunny Dusts off Crystal Ball

Hockey Voice Head Psychic Geoff Cunningham

The Leafs - For the first time in a long time, the Leaf Nation have something to look forward to. You know the old saying " you must walk before you can run? " Well, let's just say the Leafs are walking very fast these days. Their defense is huge (much like the Ratz ), Kaberle paired with Komisarek, Schenn paired with Beauchemin, Exelby paired with Van Ryn, and White with Finger. They did grow a set of balls over the summer, and they are about land Kessel. Colton Orr will play a solid three to four minutes every night. Expect a huge year from Kaberle. I forgot to mention that Jason Blake grew 6 inches over the Summer.
Prediction - Playoff birth this year, 2nd round exit out of playoffs, Stanley Cup Championship in 2011.

The Habs - Much improved up front with Gomez & Gionta. Hired a good French Coach. Huge hit losing Komisarek and replacing him with Hal Gill (yes, he has a Cup ring but he is hands down the slowest skater in the League if Jason Allison doesn't make the Leafs.) This is Price's Right Of Passage; chance to become the next Patrick Roy OR Jose Theodore.

Prediction - Playoff Birth- early exit. Gainey fired following season if he doesn't resign first.

Kovalev - New lease on life in Ottawa is not enough for this super talented, Heartless F***ING Russian. Father time is catching up with him. Good place for this moron. Will not return to glory years he had with Habs, will be told to hit the road much like BJ Ryan was with the Jays.

Senators - F***ING hate them. Can't wait until Alfredson and Kovalev skate into the corners with Exelby and Beauchemin. No defense, no goaltending, and no heart. All their European players are focused on the Olympics.

Sens miss the playoffs and continue their losing ways.

Blue Jays - I should be the GM of that team. That's all I have to say about that. 11 thousand fans at a game last week. Enough Said.

Yankees - 2010 World Champions.....Deal with it, Joe. New Stadium will have a new banner.

Red Sox - Pedroira, Youkulis, Bay, and Ellsbury are not enough. The team got old in a hurry not to mention that their pitching staff has not lived up to their expectations. Bullpen sucks. Ortiz, Lowell, Varitek, Beckett, Wakefield, are painful to watch these days. Yankees and their pitching staff beat them in 5 games in the League Championship.

Be happy with a playoff birth and regroup for next season.
