As an avid Redwings fan, I have to say the Wings. The "Dominator" is back, I feel cocky.

I am an wings fan too so I say wings. But I expect Minnasota to put up a show this year, they were pretty good last year and they're young.

Colorado will win they are gonna be unstopable this season, They should have won last season but Minnesota somehow got lucky and came back from a Colorado series lead 3-1 it wont happen again and if Colorado doesnt win my second choice would have to be Anaheim they are pretty good with some young players.!!!!!!!!!!Detroit dont stand a chance they cant perform like they did 2 years ago, New Jersey wont repeat because I think Tampa will make it to the finals they are getting way better and that is the only reason why New Jersey even got to the finals is because the east has the worse teams in the sport they only have to play one good team in the playoffs and thats in the finals they got lucky!!!!!!!!!!!

If Aebischer plays half as well as Roy, the Avs will win. Otherwise, its the Wings.

It's going to be interesting to see how the Ducks do this year, I hope they do well and bring the cup to Anaheim, but it probably won't happen. I'm pretty sure we will be watching post season hockey here in Anaheim again though. As far as the cup...I'd hate to say it but Colorado is going to be tough this year.

Colorado has no goaltending. Detroit has Hasek but not the Hasek of the mid to late 90's. Philly got Hackett but that will be as about important as Al Sharpton to the presidential race. At this point, I think the Devils and Stars look to be the most likely candidates to be there in June. If Boston somehow gets Cujo off of Detroit, perhaps, the B's have a shot at winning two games from Jersey in the playoffs instead of one.

Goaltending is always the key to winning the cup. Jersey has always had it in their cup runs and that's why they have three cups.

Anaheim is definately going to be a team to watch this year. They devastated Detroit in the finals and picked up Fedorov in the off season.

I'm still backing the Wings, but will be keeping a close watch on the Ducks. I'm predicting a re-match in the conference finals.

Colorado will win it. If Aebischer stumbles they won't hesitate for a second to find a way to acquire a top notch goaltender. Everywhere else they have too much depth, plus the sting of last year's embarassment should help motivate them.

Errr, they're both in the same conference, that would be a good Western Conference Final prediction.
However, the team to watch this year is the Dallas Stars, because I think they'll be focusing more on TEAM DEFENSE rather than just saying "Oh, let Hatch handle it." Look for Dallas to make a good early run with Marty Turco still in his record breaking form and Dallas' newfound (refound would be more like it) ability to grind it out. It is too early to tell tho seeing as how it's only the preseason and that doesn't matter.

My money is going with Anaheim this year; they really impressed me last year.

The ads they're running in Pittsburgh are using the hook "The X Generation". They point out how young this team is and how they are going to have a lot of spirit. Then they have little audio clips from youngsters on the team and one of them says something to the effect of "...this team could bring a cup to Pittsburgh in three or four years."

Nothing like warning the fans plunking down $75 per ticket that your team is going to suck this year...and probably next.

Gotta say Ottawa has it... They were a goal away from taking it all last year.

Balanced scoring and an effective defensive (trap) system...

Now that we have a billionaire owner the sky is the limit!

Based on: Colorado Last Year - Roy + Players picked and traded for between seasons.

I don't think the Stars are focusing much on defense with how they traded their top defensive player to the Wings between seasons.

Ok, you obviously don't read into this stuff much. The Stars did not TRADE Hatch away. Hatcher was an Unrestricted Free Agent who SIGNED with the Red Wings. Dallas tried to dump Pierre Turgeon to make room for Hatch, nobody claimed Turgeon off waivers, nor could they trade him away. Hell, they even tried TRADING Bill Guerin away to make room for Hatcher. Remember, the D in Dallas stands for Defense, and it always will. Their plus/minus differential last year was second only to Ottawa, yeah, they're not focusing on defense AT ALL.

Nobody on ice can match Detroit's defense, and it took the Dominator 3 preseason games to record his first shutout. Datsyuk and Zetterberg will fill a little bit of the void left by Fedorov. Scoring won't be a problem.

Colorado may score a lot, but they're gonna have trouble stopping people.

Is Giguere for real? He's got the pressure of high expectations this year. Look for early struggles.

Ottowa vs NJ in the east. Vancouver vs Detroit in the west.
Ottowa vs Detroit in the finals.
Parade down Woodward Ave. in June, 2004. Go Wings!
