Anaheim was booted out of the playoffs in the first round this season by the Detroit Red Wings. Ryan Getzlaf captained an impressive team throughout the regular season, but the Ducks let their frustration get the best of them in the playoffs and the seventh seed Wings knocked them out in eight games. The Ducks will be back this season though, and should be as tough as ever, even after sending Bobby Ryan to Ottawa.

The Phoenix Coyotes future is no longer in doubt. They’ll be staying in Arizona, and they’ll be battling for a Cup. The Coyotes went out and signed center, Mike Ribeiro, extended goaltender Mike Smith, and even locked up coach Dave Tippett for another 5 years. The Coyotes always seem to be a sleeper team, but I wouldn’t count them out of contenders. To take a look at their schedule check out Howlin’ Hockey.

San Jose walked right through Vancouver in the first round of the playoffs this season, but found a wall in Jonathan Quick when they had to take on the Los Angeles Kings in the second round.

Vancouver is coming off of a disappointing loss to the San Jose Sharks last season in the first round of the playoffs, and much to their dismay, they’ll be playing the Sharks a little more often from here on out. The Canucks went ahead and fired Alaine Vigneault and went out and hired fire cracker coach John Tortorella. The Canucks are a skilled team that just may need a change behind the bench.
