One month in, what teams have surprised you and disappointed you the most? For surprising, it was slightly referred to in another thread, but the Columbus Blue Jackets have played very well out of the gate.

Disappointing, well, I think obviously you have to look at the Rangers and Sabres and their slow starts.

Im really suprised with how well the Habs have played. I thought they were going to be a weak team this year and not make the playoffs and so far have looked like a elite team. Carey price is awesome and that powerplay hasnt missed a beat even with the departure of Souray. Outside of Ott/Car Id have to say Montreal right now is the next best team.

Canucks have been a major dissapointment so far and look lifeless as a team. They need to badly aquire some more offense and team speed because they are really weak in this area.

The Devils have been piss-poor so far; i expect better

I really didnt expect much from them after looking at there blueline.

And since they spent almost a month on the road to start

Impressed- Ottawa

simply the best team in the league at this juncture

Blues & Blackhawks.

Blues & Blackhawks surprising.

Dissapointing- Anaheim

they stink, have lost twice to Phoenix and once to Edmonton all at home in the past 2 weeks.

Anaheim is missing that spark offensively, something that Selanne brought.

Anaheim has been delightfully disappointing so far

Surprises: Columbus and Montreal

Dissapointments: Anaheim, Atlanta

I don't see how Atlanta is a disappointment when they've been picked last in the Southeast Division in many, many preseason rankings.

Well they've dissapointed me

I guess that works for me

Surprising: Columbus, Chicago, Saint Louis
Disappointing: Anaheim and Sabres

suprising- Blackhawks

Red Wings only have 4 loss's this season and 3 of them are to the blackhawks.

Suprising: Columbus (Pascal Leclaire) and Chicago
