Who do you pick to win the Stanley Cup?
 

As the hockey playoffs are under way, it is time for the common question of, "Who do you think is taking home the Cup?"

I am a Flyers fan so I would love to see them take it home. If they can get past Toronto I think they have a good chance, but getting past Toronto will be the tough part. :)

Who do you think will take home the Cup this year, and why?

Obviously being from Colorado I want to see the Avalanche win, and I think they have an excellent chance. Around the all star game there was concern that they wouldn't make the playoffs but they finished very strong and came back to win a ninth straight division title. They are playing very well now and it will be tough for anyone to beat them.

I have to say the Toronto Maple Leafs since I reside there myself.

It would mean a whole lot more for the fans of the Maple Leafs since we haven't had one Stanley Cup championship in over 35 years. As Leafs fans, we are fanatic about our team and very passionate about the game of hockey itself.

Go Leafs Go!

2003 Stanley Cup Champion - Toronto Maple Leafs (I hope)

i like ottawa

Devils - you have to have a solid goalie. Broudour is a rock!

the canucks baby.

I really am not sure right now, But Ottawa is lookin solid...I just wanna see a Canadian team win...My beloved Habs did not even make the playoffs, So I am going for the Canadian teams.

Its all about the leafs, but Nolan really needs to step up if we're goin all the way. If not the leafs then i'd say the ducks just cuz they've worked so hard to beat detroit and i liked the movies :D

HOPEFULLY Ottawa.

As long as the winner isn't Deadmonton or Toronto, it's ok though. :)

Ottawa all the way!

They're going to rock the cashbah!

Stars. They'll come out of this one stronger.

Dallas.

I want the Canucks to win...but I think the Cup will stay in the West either way...prolly Colorado.

In the East..Ottawa and NJ will battle for East champs.

I want to see the Leafs do well, but they are getting their ass handed to them this afternoon...its probably over for them too

Wow! the Leafs look tired, and the Flyers have bigger goons. I'd like to see Ottawa win, but i think the avalanche will come out of this with the cup.

i think, and i know absolutely nothing about ice hockey, that its going to be Ottawa.

lightning

Ottawa Dallas final Ottawa in 5

In reality, Colorado will probably win, even though I dont want them to. I'd like to see Ottawa pull it off. penguins didn't make it so I just watch the games as a neutral fan hehe =)

BLUES BABY!!!!!!!1

Two of my hated teams are out already (Detroit and Deadmonton)

Now if Toronto gets knocked out, it'll be 3 for 3.

Gooooooooo Philly!
Ottawa for the cup!!!!

The only real Hockey fan is a habs fan, but we suck :(

This year, I said in another post it will be the devils, but shit, really hard to predict

DETROIT!!!!! (yes, i am still in denial)

I really don't know about the Ottawa Senators. I am a fan of them, but watching them play, I see the talent, but not the desire. They were very sloppy in the first round, and fell asleep at the wheel a few times, even after the first game.

And what the Hell was up with the Ottawa crowd in their last game with the Islanders. Were they gassed before the game? Final game in the series, Sens about to advance, and with the exception of the last minute of gameplay, they just weren't there. I've seen more life in a morgue.

I'm a Leaf's fan, but I must *cough* tip my favour to the *cough* to the Senators.

I don't think Toronto will advance past Philly, so Ottawa won't have to worry about hitting the Blue wall of playoff defeat again.

(Boy, was that ever tough to admit)

ottawa fans, i being one, were gassed cause first round means nothing.

getting pasted the second round has always proved to be a problem. I think playing philly this year (i don't see toronto winning) it'll be tough, since last years major ass kicking. If you don't know what i'm talking about it was the shut-out after shut-out after shut-out 4-1 series ass kicking. (only two goals allowed the entire series)

Colorado Avalanche. From their 9th straight division title straight to the Stanley Cup.

It's sad that we act like it's the Ottawa Senators God given right to stroll through the first round. I mean, if it were me, and I could have actually made one of the games, I would have been very appreciative of the fact that the Senators were playing in the first round, and winning. You don't have to look any further than the Detroit Red Wings to see that anything can happen, and your team could be knocked out in the blink of an eye.

As for the Flyers, I remember what happened with them last year. I think Ottawa's in a catch 22 right now. They play Toronto, and the Leafs will find some way of obliterating the Senators. If it's the Flyers, they will definitely be looking for some payback from last year.

I am another vote for Colorado. Though why they had to make it intersting and bring us to game 7 of the series with the Wild I don't know. 7 hours from now we will know if they are even moving on.

I think its going to be the Leafs and the Stars in the Finals. I like the Sens because of the low payroll. It shows the other teams in the league you don't have to spend to win.....but I think the Leafs will eventually roll over them. I don't see anyone in the west stronger than Dallas as long as Turco holds up!

this should be the photo we see at the end

2-0 Flyers, as we speak. Looks like they're gonna get their chances against the Sens again this year. *taps wood* Excellent.

I dont like hockey that much, but go ducks

Ottawa and Vancouver.. Vancouver in 7 ... I HOPE...

hehe back in june yes i said june

i told everyone i know that the stars would win it all

that said it would be good for me if they won

but man it would be sweet if the ducks a 8 seed won it all

Sabres(just don't know what year)

Canucks will take it all this year.

Fucking Avalanche blew a 3-1 series lead and a 2-1 lead in the game last night. Hockey season is officially over now.

I am with crazybill... :(

I say let the Wild and Ducks duke it out for the stanley cup...

Now that the Wings and the AVS are out I going with the solid underdog and my homestate.... MINNESOTA!!!!!!!

It was a long shot for them to beat the AVS and i think these guys can HEART it out!!!!!!!!
