Now that the Ducks are out of the playoffs, who do you think will win the Stanley Cup this year?

Now I just hope the cup doesn't find a home in Northern California.

Or Dallas.....

[Duck304]

Or Dallas.....

Or Detroit.

[GLOVESAVE35]

Y'all are going to hate me, but I don't want SJ to lose now. I'd rather the Cup went to SJ and stay in California than go to Dallas or Detroit. But no matter what, I think the Cup winner is coming out of the West.

My cup prediction is Penguins. They are too good.

SJ's goaltending is better. Plus there's no way to know how "good" they are until they play the WC winner.

[JimmyWah]

screw SJ....hate those fools. i'd much rather see an east team win although the east is soft.

Gee GS35, I would find it very difficult to hate you. But I really don't want to see SJ win it all. I'd rather see Detroit, sorry. But that isn't going to happen either. What about the Rangers? They might have a chance. Avery on the Cup??? The horror.

[DucksSnip]

dont jump on me for this but IMO dallas is winning the cup this year. i thought that the winner of this series was going to go on and win the cup...dallas=detroit on steriods

We're going way OT here, but Philadelphia has huge depth on offense. They had like five 20+ goal scorers. If Biron can steal a few... who knows.

Well, I wouldn't be terribly sad if Calgary won that series. Outside of when SJ plays us, I don't hate them all that much. Plus going to their playoff games would be doable ('cause I'm a hockey junkie). I'd rather see a new Cup winner rather than a team that has already won it. (And seeing all the hand-wringing and emotional writhing going on in Detroit when they bow out is just too much fun. )

[Duck304]

Boston over Detroit in 5

kidding. But slightly serious.

Pittsburgh over Detroit in 7.

[UltraDavid]

!!

(looks at scoreboard)

Ohhh... sigh...

I'm gonna go with Les Canadiens. I think they're the best team in the East, I think whoever comes out of the West will be totally beaten up, and I think the magic of Montreal (rookie goaltender in the playoffs plus always having won at least one Stanley Cup in every decade since their inception) will win out. I say they play Dallas in the finals and win in 7.

[GLOVESAVE35]

I think it's going to be Detroit, though I wouldn't mind being wrong. If not them, the Sharks. I'd really like a see a team that's never won it take the Cup though.

[ducksfansince93]

tough one.

pittsburgh over detroit in 5

[lvsprt]

Can I get back to you in a few days?

[Hollander]

If I knew I'd be a rich man but I'm rooting for the Bruins. As long as it's not the Sharks (sorry, but I want to remain the only California team to have won the Cup), Dallas (I hate 'em even though they beat us fair and square) or New York (Avery sucks!)

[GLOVESAVE35]

I hate the Stars too. Then again I'd probably hate any team we play.

[jojo983]

Pittsburgh or Boston I would like to win the Cup, mainly because its been ages since they did. Don't want San Jose to win as I like the fact we are the only CA team to win the Cup!

[Cassie8236]

At this point I don't care, as long as it's not Dallas, San Jose, or Detroit. (But that is subject to change when my bitterness of the Ducks loss goes away)

[German Rocket #7]

Here's hoping for NY Rangers over Dallas Stars in 7 Games. OT Goal by Shanahan who was clearly within the crease. Karma shall be a bitch.

[Still MIGHTY]

I'd pick Colorado for my West team to win. Get good ol' Rusty Salei a Cup.
I dont want San Jose, Dallas, or Detroit to win it. I'm really kinda indifferent towards Calgary. I just want them to finish off San Jose

For the East. I'd like the Capitals. I love Ovechkin.
If not the Caps, the Rangers although I'd hate Avery's name on the chalice.
My grandpa grew up on the upper east side of manhattan and grew up on the Rangers. He became a Ducks fan when they were created out here. But he still has a soft spot for the Rangers.

[Stuntman]

i think Montreal and Detroit will be the two
Montreal will win, and then it will be part of their 100th anniversary celebration.
The Stanley Cup, Draft, and All-Star Game, now that is an interesting 100th anniversary.

[West of House]

Montreal.

[Barmy Army]

I'm cheering for the Penguins

[hillbillywingsfan]

well i think who ever comes out of the west is going to win.

[socalcustoms]

I have been very busy lately so I haven't been posting on this board much.

Now that the Ducks are out... I am putting all my hopes on the Penguins.

As some of you know, I named my Daughter after Sidney Crosby and even though some of you dislike him for various reasons, he is amazing to watch. He has exceeded expectations and makes everyone around him better.

I have even found myself comparing other players on the Pens team to our Ducks. I am now a huge fan of Staal, Malone, Gonchar, Ruutu, Laraque, Kennedy, Fleury, Conklin, Whitney, and of course Malkin..

This team is fun to watch, easy to cheer for, and has the firepower to get to the finals.

I suggest some of you watch them if you get a chance!

GO PENGUINS!!!

[Todrick]

Pens v Sharks

Pens take it.

[ladiesandgentlemen]

I'm with Todrick on this one, although Fleury will have to keep up his .955 Sv% to do it or I think the Sharks big bodies with speed might prevail.

I must say that the best thing for the NHL would be for at least one of the Original Six to make the Finals and take it to seven games. Something along the lines of DETvsPITT or SJSvsNYR. The very best thing for the league would probably be an all Orig.6 like DETvsNYR or MTL. I don't mean to diss the Bruins, but I highly doubt their chances.

[DucksSnip]

Pens v Sharks

Pens take it.

i think calgary will beat the sharks in game 7....heres what i see in the west
det vs. col=det
dal vs. cal =dal
dallas will win in 6 and then take the cup in 6 againts the rangers

[Todrick]

well regardless... Pens to the finals...

and i think we are likely to see that given a complete overkill when it comes to offensive talent(what the sens lacked) an Eastern team can beat a physical western team.

my take:
Det v Col = Det in 6
Dal v Sjs = Sjs in 5

Sjs v Det = Sjs Sjs in 6

and the Pens steamroll the east, then the Sharks in 6

Pens take the cup.

though to be honest i wouldn't mind the sharks taking it... simply because then it will be even more apparent how much the kings suck.
