san jose will be the dark horse of the west in the playoffs.  on paper the wings are the best.  how they hold up in the playoffs is a different story.  you have a good point about thorton.  he is good.  i hope they face the wings in the playoffs.

I agree with you.  I also live in North Carolina and we love our hockey down here.  I say GO CANES GO.  If they win the Stanley Cup, it will be the first big professional win for any professional sport team from our state.  The Carolina Panthers almost won the Superbowl a couple years ago.  Our NBA team needs a lot help right now.

If you look at the standings, the best teams right now are Detroit, Carolina, Dallas, Ottowa and the NY rangers. Having watched alot of NHL games, I tend to lean toward the Red Wings as being the best to this point. They are playing as good as they have in recent years and have made an effort to enfuse their younger players early in the year which will make them stronger during a Cup run.

Miami. Here's why. They're showing their toughness very early in this series and the way they're shooting right now, if they continue playing the way they did in game one, and make the necessary adjustments to remain consistently effective, they are going to the NBA Finals. Rasheed is still ailing from an ankle injury, and the rest of the Pistons squad is pretty tired from going seven games against the Cavs. Making the necessary adjustments this late in the playoffs was the talk all-over sports media. It'll be interesting to see what Detroit can do and what Miami is going to try next!!!!

It is the Stanley Cup so anything can happen, but unfortunately for Oiler fans, time has already ran out. The Hurricanes are on a roll. Plus not only has Edmonton lost their starting goalie, that 3-goal lead they blew has sucked the life out of them. They have to play desperate hockey and I see no signs of that yet. So realistically I can't see them winning even another game. No chance whatsoever of winning Lord Stanley's coveted cup. Watch and learn!

Edmonton in 5 games. the Ducks are good enough to win at least one, maybe two, just out of shear adrenalin if nothing else. I believe Edmonton will will the cup in 6 games over Buffalo. GO EDMONTON!!! I can remeber when I was a kid and got to see the original Oilers play with some of the greatest player to ever play the game. They were amazing! The talent and skill on that one team, I believe was the greatest team in all sports ever assembled. I know alot will disagree but look back over the reels of the old games and then judge.\n\nP.S. I'm not an Oiler fan. I'm a Penguin fan, but I am a hockey fan 1st.

I'm not satisfied!!\n\nI'm a Duck's fan and I wish they could win the cup this year; however after game one I told my girlfriend... "My prediction is either Edmonton will sweep us or the series will go to seven games."  After tonight it looks like (sadly) I will get it right with the first guess.  \n\nEdmonton is not a true Cinderella, they finished eight but the bottom three teams were playing musical chairs at the end of regular season... it won't a big surprise if they go all the way.  Too bad for the NHL and tv ratings.\n\nAs consolation to all Duck fans out there we can say the Ducks are mightier than at least 26 other teams in the NHL (by virtue of actually making it to the conference finals).

Go Pistons!!\nJames is good but not enough. People like him cuz he's still young and he's good. But not enough. Piston will win the series 4-1.\nSpur will have their A$$ whipped by dallas.

Red Wings.\n\nI'm a Eastern Conference guy though, so I'm rooting for the Senators, although I'm wary of their recent history of playoff disappointments.

I asked Gary Thorne (ESPN commentator and USA Today columnist) a couple of weeks ago regarding this on a USA Today chat.  He mentions Daniel Briere but goes on to say it was way too early to determine the Conn Smythe winner.  It's probably still a little early to guess until we have the finals set this evening (or tomorrow morning).  If I had to give my answer right away, I'd go with either of the following:  Daniel Briere, Eric Staal, Cory Stillman, Cam Ward, Dwayne Rolosson or Ryan Miller.

if san jose beats edmonton, then there will be a dog fight in the west between the ducks and the sharks.  i think the ducks might win.  buffalo is hot so whoever plays them in the finals better be hot too. their goalies get better every game.  i pick sharks or ducks to win.

okay, i just answered your eastern conference question and was hoping you put this one up too....\nk...well, the oilers beat an over-rated red wings team, impressively none the less; and then a sharks team that i was convinced would be in the cup, possibly winning it all...the ducks played a spirited series vs. the flames, and then absolutely wrecked the avalanche...it seems like a closer battle then one would have guessed at the beginning of these playoffs, but i will get to the point-this ducks team seems vaguely familiar to the ducks team who almost took the cup against the devils a couple of years ago...so i'll give u this- ducks in 6... but a very good six
