Team Name W L T Pts Comment

Toronto Maple Leafs 5 3 1 11 Above .500, but has allowed 1 more goal than they have scored (27 GF, 28 GA) which is not a good habit.

Boston Bruins 4 3 1 9 Anson Carter and Sergei Samsonov have 10 points apiece in 8 games. The Bruins look solid.

Ottawa Senators 2 3 2 6 Tugger is struggling with a record of 1-3-1, but lineup is balanced with good offense and defense. Yashin who?

Buffalo Sabres 1 1 2 4 Dixon Ward (8 points in 4 games) cannot and will not carry this team. Hasek is off to a poor start and is still looking for first win(0-1-2).

Montreal Canadiens 1 4 0 2 This is no surprise, punchless offense (7 goals in 5 games) is not going to win many games. Hackett is playing well on a horrible team.

Pittsburgh Penguins(Mateo) 4 0 1 9 Commentators beware! Herb Brooks and his offensive brand of hockey are alive and well. Jagr(21 points in 5 games) continues his dominance over opposing defenses.

New York Rangers 3 2 2 8 Have allowed as many goals as they have scored(18), but getting by just nicely. The potential of this team is massive.

Philadelphia Flyers 3 0 0 6 Undefeated and have scored nearly twice as many goals as they have allowed. Four players with 4 points in 3 games. Primeau trade working out well...this team is scary!

New Jersey Devils 2 1 1 5 Young guns(Madden, Gomez, Rafalski) supercharge this team. Above .500 even though Brodeur(3.15 GAA 88.2 S%) has played poorly.

New York Islanders 2 2 0 4 Last place team at .500? Islanders may not score much, but the hold their own on D(8 GF, 8 GA). Luongo(2-1-0, 1.62 GAA, 94.6 S%) has been brilliant.

Carolina Hurricanes 2 5 0 4 1^st place Hurricanes are 3 games under .500, what can I say? This division is BAD!!!!

Washington Capitals 1 0 1 3 Don't be fooled, this team is undefeated and Kolzig(1-0-1, 1.92 GAA, 92.6 S%, 1 SO) has been stellar!

Atlanta Thrashers 1 2 1 3 Goaltending has been excellent, but the offense has been atrocious! Should be exciting to watch this team duke it out with Tampa Bay for the worst team in the league title.

Tampa Bay Lightning 1 1 1 3 Well, Chris Gratton has 25 PIM in 3 games. That's exciting, isn't it? It'll be another long year for the Lightning.

Florida Panthers 1 4 0 2 The surprise of the week! Florida has been victimized by bad goaltending, and Bure(2 assists in 5 games) has yet to score a goal.

Chicago Blackhawks 4 0 2 10 Is this team for real? Amonte(9 points in 6 games) and the 'Hawks were impressive in 5-5 tie with 1^st place Pittsburgh. Goaltending has been solid.

St. Louis Blues 3 3 0 6 Turek(2-3-0, 3.20 GAA, 90.9 S%) is slumping, but team is solid and plays well at both ends of the rink.

Detroit Red Wings 2 2 1 5 Lets-go-Red-Wings! Detroit a .500 team? Naw, don't worry the wins will come especially with the way Fedorov(6 points in 5 games) and Osgood(1-1-0, 2.00 GAA, 93.0 S%) are playing.

Nashville Predators 1 3 2 4 They may score a lot(21GF), but they give a lot up too(22 GA). Lets be blunt, Nashville doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell to compete in this division. Mighty Mites Ronning(9 points in 6 games) and Peltonen(7 points in 6 games) have been impressive.

Edmonton Oilers 3 1 1 7 Go-go-go Joseph! Joseph Beranek has 6 points in 5 games. Only 2 points separate first from last in this division. Team will need to play Tommy Salo(0-0-1, 2.76 GAA, 92.2 S%) more often if they want to stay on top.

Vancouver Canucks 3 2 0 6 The Canucks have 3 wins for one reason, "The Cat" is rippin' it up. Felix Potvin(3-1-0, 1.00 GAA, 96.4 S%, 1 SO) is playing like a brick wall. Little Stevie Kariya leads the team with 5 points in 5 games.

Colorado Avalanche 2 3 2 6 Has anyone seen Patrick Roy? Roy(1-2-2, 4.45 GAA, 85.2 S%) is playing like a vacuum-- he's suckin' it up. Look for the veteran to bounce back. Sakic(10 points in 7 games) led offense is rippin' it up.

Calgary Flames 2 2 1 5 Another .500 team in last, that's just bad luck. They'd be even better if Fuhr(1-1-1, 3.75 GAA, 86.7 S%) wasn't suckin' it up. Little Bure(3 goals, 1 assist in 5 games) has more points than bro Pavel.

Dallas Stars 5 2 1 11 The Stanley Cup Champions retain their lead in the west. Hull(8 assists in 8 games) is showin' everyone he can pass too. This team comes to play everyday.

Los Angeles Kings(BP) 4 0 0 8 Gettin' Ziggy wit it! Zigmund Palffy(14 points in 4 games) is lovin' life in L.A. Ex-Nordique Stephane Fiset(4-0-0, 2.25 GAA, 93.5 S%) and the L.A. defense have kept the Kings undefeated through 4 games. Look out Stars, there's trouble on the horizon.

San Jose Sharks 2 2 3 7 Marco Sturm(6 points in 7 games) and Stevie "Human" Shields(2-2-2, 2.57 GAA, 91.1 S%) lead the youthful Sharks. Veteran blue-liner Gary Suter(7 games, 5 points, 38 PIM, +3) is on a terror.

Phoenix Coyotes 1 4 2 4 Boy it's hot out here, huh? Sean Burke(1-3-2, 3.76 GAA, 87.4 S%) still hasn't adjusted to the warm West Division climate. Defensemen are a collective -5. Look for Phoenix to heat it up later in the season, as they always do.

Anaheim Mighty Ducks(Big C) 0 4 0 0 The only winless team in the league. The offensively challenged Ducks have just 5 goals in 4 games. Teemu Selanne(1 assist, -2 in 4 games) is wishing he was a rookie again. I guess the only bright spot thus far is that they can't get any worse.

Who's Hot:

1. Jaromir Jagr- 21 points (10 G, 11 A) and a +12 in 5 games.

2. Zigmund Palffy- 14 points (9 G, 4 A) and a +12 in 4 games.

3. Felix Potvin- Is 3-1-0 with a 1.00 GAA, 96.4 S%, and 1 shutout in 4 games.

Who's Not:

1. Teemu Selanne- 0 goals,1 assist, 2 PIM, and a -2 in 4 games.

2. Patrick Roy- Is 1-2-2 with a 4.45 GAA, and a 85.1 S% in 5 games.

3. Hal Gill- Has 0 points, 5 PIM, and a -6 in 8 games.
