10 Things I Look Forward To

10. A healthy Malkin. Of all the problems the Heads had last year, and they were legion, the injury to Malkin was front and center.

9. Iggy gets 1000pts. Probably punches his HOF ticket when he does.

8. The Flames chemistry experiment. Is Jay-Bo an elite shutdown guy or does he have real offense? Will Ollie Jokinen get 50? Or can he still get 70? What about Tanguay? Are Iggy's PPG/40+goal seasons history? Which Kipper will show up?

7. The Oilers. For three reasons; they are going to get greased most every night, Taylor Hall is sure to get prime offensive ice as they build the team around him, and reading Lowetide.

6. Heatley+Thornton part deux.

5. The Heritage Classic. I even like the hybrid throwback jerseys.

4. Playing the Great Whites like a bridge hand. We have similar holes in our roster and he has some nice RFA pieces that will make strategy important, and fun. If he doesn't express loathing and disgust at least once I will be dissapointed.

3. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. He scored the clinching goal for Canada in a recent 1-0 victory over the US in the latest U18 tournament, and scouts are using 'Sakic' and 'Yzerman' as comparables. He's in a dogfight for1st overall next year so expectations are high.

2. Watching the World Jr finals with Oliver for the third year in a row. He's 3 and has his own Team Canada Uni.

1. Drinking Jagermeister from the Predator Cup.

4.
