My question is, who will be left out in the cold? I feel that Quebec and Montreal are too good not to make it. The both have solid teams and I would be very surprised if they dont qualify. The Hartford Whalers, the usual schmorons of the division seem like they want to qualify for the playoffs. The nerve! They actually have enough talent to do it too. The Whalers are also hungry. So, That leaves Buffalo and Boston. One of these teams will be out for the first time in who knows how many years. I feel the key will be weather Buffalo can find the right combination of players in all of the lines that they keep jumbling up. I have been a Sabres fan for years but I couldn't tell you one set line on the Sabres team. They change so often. If Buffalo can find a conbination of lines they like, and their so called talented young players will start to produce, they may be able to make a strong run. If not, Boston will back into the playoffs. As a Sabres fan I hope it is the bruins that will be put on ice. I would like to know who other people think will not make the playoffs in the Adams? -Carl (maddog) Dettelis
