2007-2008 New Jersey Devils Player PredictionsPatrick EliasThe captain once again led the team in points but did not have the offensive season one would associate with the type of contract he signed. Problem is he will never live up to that contract offensively, but it’s the little things that Elias does so well that makes him valuable to the team.GP-78 G-24 A-48 P-72Brian GiontaFrom 89 points to

NHL #1Boy do I love the NHL.What have been the top headlines in sports? Major League Baseball being forced to embrace a suspected cheater while he rewrites history. A NBA referee accused of gambling thus compromising the legitimacy of hundreds of NBA contests. And Michael Vick; one of the most recognizable faces in a sport where everybody wears helmets, becoming public enemy number one.A juicer,

Rumor Has It..Let the bidding begin! Or not so much bidding but convincing. Who will be able to charm Peter 'The Great' into joining their team and instantly bolstering it's offense.There is no doubt that Peter Forsberg can still perform at a high level and with his off season surgery he is hoping to have his ankle at 100%. But where does he want to play? There are only a handful of options that

Borderline of FameThe 2007 Hall of Fame class just happens to be one of those years where every player is a no brainer. There are no debates or questions; All were known as Hall of Fame players long before the announcement that made it official. Mark Messier, Ron Francis, Scott Stevens, and Al MacInnis. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said, "The players elected represent the epitome of hockey

Book Review : MESSIERI try and keep up with Hockey message boards to see what my peers are thinking every now and again. Recently a debate came up on HFboards.com, the most popular hockey message board on the planet, that pitted Scott Stevens vs Mark Messier. Who was the better leader? Now I am a New Jersey Devils fan and have basically worshipped the ground Mr. Stevens has walked...or skated on

E-Train Derailed?TSN.ca is reporting that Eric Lindros' future as a player may be in question. The "Big E" is an unrestricted free agent but has been focusing more on a players association role than an actual player. "Right now my focus is the 'PA work," says Lindros. "I'm not really concerned about the rest of it. But the last couple of years have been pretty frustrating in terms of not

Defending The DevilPlaying the devil's advocate is a great role for anybody needing a topic to write about. In this case I may have bitten off more than I can chew. That's right, I am going to defend Alexei Yashin. Earning the nick name "Cashin", it is obvious that many NHL fans have reserved a special spot in their hearts for Alexei, usually reserved for hatred or frustration. To understand

No Big Deal?So we all know about the blockbuster signings that shaked the very core of hockey as we know it. It was all very exciting but as we were all pointing and laughing at The Islanders (sorry couldn't resist) there were some very nice deals that went under the free agent radar. They didn't make any headlines really, until now.Jocelyn Thibault- I bet half of you guys didn't even know he

In Defense of...You know what I can't believe it. I am actually going to defend the New York Rangers and their signings of Scott Gomez and Chris Drury. I've heard a lot of Ranger fans guarentee a cup with those deals, which is ridiculous and a bit premature but the signings are far from bad. FAR from it. Lets just put this one comparison to rest. The Bobby Holik deal to NY is not comparable
