The summer months have taken long enough and it's time for the hockey season to begin. The hockeynews has ranked the habs 13th in the eastern conference. I can't say i totally agree with that prediction. There might be a bit of bias because i am a habs fanatic but i honestly believe it is not a stretch for the habs to make the playoffs this season. But enough of my blabbing, why don't you take a look for yourselves.
Andrei Kostitsyn is looking to have a breakout year

I have no idea what they are going to do with Dandenault.
The players in bold are new faces & the ones in italics are young players that have improved from 06-07 to 07-08
What do you guys think? thumbs up or thumbs down?I think the youth will help propel this team into the playoffs.
