Do you smell hockey pucks?

Ah, that sweet, sweet aroma. The only smell more able to get me geared up for puck season was the stale beer and crushed peanut smell the old Boston Garden had.
Anyway, let’s do this already!
First order of business, taking over the Hockey Forum. What’s with all these other questions? Don’t people know how to categorize their question?
Next, Pre-season Awards (my predictions):
1. Most Over-Hyped- Stamkos and the Lightning. Can’t say why, I just have a gut feeling that all the changes won’t pan out the way the new owners conceived.
2. Biggest Surprise (for better or worse): Toronto. If they win 25 games they get this award. When I look at their potential starting roster, I have to get out my Hockey News Draft issue to see where these guys last played.
3. Don’t Count Us Out Award: Phoenix. Olli is possessed and will see the playoffs for the first time. Doan will build on his best pro season and Gretzky will look like a genius, again.
4. I Love My New Linemates Award: Hossa. He’ll have a huge year if paired with Zetterberg all year.

Ideas on other awards??
Great to be back. Go Red Wings (and Bruins - had to say that since we here in Boston take winning seriously…and have been doing it so often lately)
3.
Boneyard- thanks for the info. They must be the same guys managing the “bailout” here in the USA.
By the way- Skoda logo- are you in Europe? When I lived in Norway I used to see that a lot.
ANYONE ELSE THINK it is ironic that Hollweg got suspended for swiping his stick at someone last week?It was him who received the brutal slash from Simon- what’s with that?!
TROMBASS- good new awards. The *** Award is priceless. I’ll throw Jokinen into the category if things fail there. The kid will think he is jinxed if that happens.
