Down the Stretch








The NHL Season is now winding down with less than 10 games remaining for each team. This is the second season after the season-long shutdown of 2004-5.

I like these four teams going into the playoffs, New Jersey, Anaheim, Detroit, and Ottawa. I rate them in three key playoff categories-special teams, goaltending, and intangibles of leadership and coaching.

New Jersey-27 (Special teams-8, Goaltending-10, Intangibles-9)

Anaheim-26 (Special teams-9, Goaltending-9, Intangibles-8)

Detroit-25 (Special teams-7, Goaltending-9, Intangibles-8)

Ottawa-23 (Special teams-8, Goaltending-7, Intangibles-8)

Teams of merit to warrant a possible upset include Buffalo and Vancouver.

I am looking forward to this postseason.
