who will win the stanley cup

[brucestats]

Always been a habs fan, 15 years is long enough!

[sillywilly]

[spackler]

everyone knows lefties are crazy....

Of course I want to see the Sens go deep into the playoffs..................once they are out would like to see Habs win the Cup...............

However, I do not think any team in the East can handle the Ducks.
Particulary if the refs let the Ducks use "dirty" tactics ie. cross check on Alfie, typical Pronger cheap shots etc...............
I am not a big believer in conspiracy, but win I saw Bettman jumping up and down presenting the Cup to the Ducks last season............one had to wonder. Especially when he was so excited in proclaiming it was the first Cup win for a team from the State of California (largest populated State in the U.S.).........Why would the refs continue to let a team use illegal hits is beyond me...................Perhaps the NHL can answer that question..............

In years past we harboured the illusion that the Sens could win it all. This year we aren't even including them in a list of possible winners. How things have changed.

I am going for a Sens/Ducks repeat! I know it sounds crazy, but if the Sens can get past the Pens which i think they can... they will hopefully get back a healthy and rested Alfie and Fisher. The only really proven goalie in the entire East is Brodeur. Ya i know Gerber hasn't played great but he does have previous playoff success and the Sens will remember what is was like last year, and they aren't a significantly different team that the previous one.

Gerber does not really have much.Don't want to scare you.

Maybe we should start "win and your in" again........

[sillywilly]

Its amazing that there is only 1 vote for DET, they had an awesome reg. season

[Baxter]

I'm going with the Sharks...It will be a tough road for them to get there, as they have to start with the Flames...
Better yet...I think the winner of this series wins the Cup.

Joe Thornton vs Jarome Iginla the two best players in the game today...This is the series to watch for sure....

They are a bit of an older team, and the last couple of seasons they always seem to run of gas at some point in the playoffs. Could be the reason for the lack of support for the Wings.

[jonf]

Man, I'm having a really tough time deciding on this one. My brain says the Ducks, my heart says the Sens, and my gut says Carey Price.

[Hacker]

I think that the cup will be awarded to a Western Conference team...I'm just torn as to exactly which team it will be. I still think that Detroit is too soft to win 3 rounds in the West which leaves the Ducks and Sharks as the two front runners - I'm going to go with Sharks to win it all over the NYR in 6 games

[foxman]

I am going with the team that wins 16 games in this years playoffs

my thoughts exactly....no one is even looking at the Rangers. There is some proven playoff performers on this team. Good goaltending wins playoff games the rangers have that.

My reson for the the Sharks...is Tampa, Carolina, Anahiam, and San Jose look how nice that fits!

Is that you Gary Bettman?

I'll go with the Sharks as well. I just can't see any team from the East winning the Cup.

[Golfbum]

If all goes well I will post a photo of Joe and I holding Lord Stanley's Cup sometime in July on the first tee

PS, I like the way this poll is going so far

nevermind, i thought he had more than that!! Well even if its 2 games, still has more than Price, Fleury, Thomas and Biron while Huet doesn't have much experience either.

[Indio]

My heart is with the Sens and I am going to stick with them!

[mpare]

Bob, I didn't realize that an injured knee could affect one's cognitive abilities. I hope you're right about them. However, their record in the last half of the season was so abysmal as to make a sudden improvement unlikely.

My cognitive abilities have nothing to do with the injured knee, those have been absent from my repetoire since birth

I see all the so called experts on TSN and Sportsnet Picked Pittsburgh to win easy.

Ott vs Pitt Taking Ottawa
Bost vs Mtl Taking Montreal
Phil vs Was Taking Philly
NJ vs NYR Taking Rangers

Nash vs Det Taking Detroit
Sharks vs Flames Taking San Jose
Av's vs Wild Taking Colorado
Ducks vs Stars Taking Anaheim

This allows a Told You I'm smart......It also allows Told you I know nothing....I can't lose...

Just to let you big talkers know, I've put the hockey pool up onto the NCGT site:

Get your entries in quick, deadline is Wed at 7pm Eastern.

[mpare]

I tried to do so, Dave, but the server wasn't cooperating. It would have taken an hour to get my picks in. Also, there were no Caps players being listed. What gives?

I just checked, they are there.
You have use the drop down list ......... w for washington is at the bottom

[mpare]

Astounding as it may sound, I actually know about drop down lists and how to spell "Washington." That said, the list was not generating any names this morning when I accessed it. I will try again.
