There are quite a few Canadian teams in the playoffs this year. I think we have a chance! Go Montreal!!

as long as there is a strong team like Ottawa who has been really skateing well all season then yes I think its very possible that a canadian team may win the stanley cup this year

don't get too upset with san jose.  at least they made to the second round.  they did not do too bad.  at least they did not choke like the red wings did in the first round.  i like san jose.  they will be a great opponent to play in the next few years.  the top teams in the west like detroit, dallas and colorado are getting too old to remain on top.  the sharks, oilers, flames, and ducks are the future top teams in the west.  these teams are young and speedy.  keep the faith and remain a fan.  someday san jose will win the cup.

EDMONTON ROCKS!!!!!\nThey are going for a good duck hunt.  My prediction is it will come down to the Oilers and the Sabres.  Sabres don't stand a chance though.\nGO OILERS GO!!!!!!\nYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

I'm not only Canadian, I live in Edmonton! Damn straight I'm proud! I'm ALWAYS proud to be Canadian, but I am even more proud of our hockey team right now... OMG it is so crazy in Edmonton right now we are all so excited! Man I hope we win! GO OILERS! WOOOOOOOO

Hell yeah!   It's about time we had a good team in Detroit.  I mean we got the pitching, hitting and defense down.  We just need a left handed bat and a better closer and I honestly think we can go all the way.  But, I'll be happy with just making the playoffs because it's been soooo long.

The Oilers for sure, they are not an 8th place team. They have just as good a chance as any, especially if they knock off Detroit. Then everyone will jump on the bandwagon.

HABITANT...how old are you?....for a guy that hates the Leafs so much...you seem to talk about them a whole lot.\n\nThe Leafs have just as good a chance as any team.  How many surprises have we seen in the playoffs over the last 3-4 years????\n\ni give it 52%

It's better than just "good," Moon, it is AWESOME! My Sabres are playing so consistently well that none can stop them on their quest of the Cup. I honestly believe we can and will win it all! \n\nKeep rooting for Buffalo because we are going all the way!\n\nGO SABRES!!!

YEAAAA they'll come back and take it all! Oilers suck and i think niedermayer is awesome! Go ducks and Joffrey Lupul and Ilya Bryzgalov need to save us!

Yeah. I'm Canadian, and while I would have liked to see the cup back in Canada - I remember visiting some friends in North Carolina and looking at the stats last November and the Hurricanes were at the top of the conference.  I kept an eye on them all year - and you know what - as cool as it would have been to see eighth place (in the west) Edmonton come and win it - The Hurricanes totally DESERVED to win - they worked their butts off all year and game 7 - they were relentless and outplayed the Oilers hands down.  I'm happy for them.  I feel bad for the Oilers, but they've won the cup more than a few times - and The Hurricanes haven't.  Given they are an expansion team I think it's good for the south to have a Stanley Cup winner and spread the thrill of hockey to a region that is learning the joy of the game!

They are doing real well, even better than the high expectations before the season. Pronger is having a fantastic year, and they can pretty much have either Neidermeyer or Pronger on the ice at all times on Defense. Giguere is playing like he did in the 03 playoffs. I don't think they have anyone along the lead's leading scorers, but because they have a well-balanced team and the kids are doing a lot, they are among the leaders in goals scored anyway. Despite all this, attendance seems to be down so there should be plenty of good seats to most games. Go see em'!

I actually think so. They've done some really good moves to bolster the team - the trade for Thornton being paramount. The main reason isn't so much based on the strengths of their own team (even though they showed some stamina against the Preds tonight and got the OT win) as other teams above them in the West right now faultering. I predict Anaheim and Colorado out of the playoffs in 15-16 games time and the Sharks sneaking into that 8th spot.
