This 2009-2010 NHL season has so far surely had its ups, downs, and down right suprises. There are the Hawks, Sharks,and Flames who are up to their usual winning business.  Also you have the disappointing Ducks, Wings, and Canucks that aren't quite where most think they should be. You can't forget about the shocking Aves, prowling Preds, royal Kings, or howling Coyotes. These teams have taken the league by storm and are snatching up possible playoff spots. Though no matter whether YOUR team was mentioned or not, you can't help but get caught up in yet another great NHL season. Good luck, Merry XMAS, and Happy Hockeying to all.
