Its that time!!!
Ok, so i know MY teams (Tampa Bay) training camp starts this weekend and for me that officially "starts" hockey season. We have made some historic signings and changes this offseason. i am very excited and i am predicting a playoff run so:
What is your team?
What big moves (and bad moves) did they make this offseason?
What is your prediction and why?
Ill start!
What is your team?
The Tampa Bay Lightning
What big moves (and bad moves) did they make this offseason?
Nothing but good for us, i mean bad would have been impossible after lest season
Hired Steve Yserman as GM/VP
Hired entire new coaching staff led by Guy Bouche
Resigned Martin St. Louis and Steve Downie (and more)
Aquired Simon Gagne and Dan Ellis(G)
Got rid of Alex Tanguay and Nittimaki and traded off Mezaros()
What is your prediction and why?
The guys have something they havnt had in 3 or 4 years, confidence. i feel confidence alone will win games for a team. when you have faith in your coaches as well as the front office and you have players like Lecavelier, St. Louis, Stamkos, Gagne, Malone, Downie and Mike Smith and a very deep minor league system to pick from then to me thats a great recipe for sucess. i just KNOW we will make a great run this year. for the first time since 2004, everyone, even the fans seem happy.
