THE NHL'S 2006 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFFS

Ottawa Senators, why I think the Senators will win the 2006 stanley cup is because, they are a very fast offensive team, there goaltending has been it's strongest than it's ever been, and there defencemen line up is very positional and is always working harder than any other player on the ice I also want to predict that the stanley cup series round will be Ottawa and calgary the sens will take it in 6 games LoL !!!

Even as a Detroit Redwings fan, I was extrememly concerned when I saw them matched up with the Oilers.  I knew that the Oilers would give them problems, mainly because they can skate well, pass well, play great defense, and have a solid goaltender.  About halfway through that series I knew that Edmonton was going to beat the Wings and make a run at the Cup.  And I've been rooting for them ever since.

It's not like this is the first time Carolina has been to the finals.  Before the Hurricanes, Raleigh had the Ice Caps (ECHL) hockey team for most of the 1990s (the team folded because of the impending arrival of the Hurricanes), so it's not like hockey is completely a novelty there.

Those kids in Pittsburgh are on fire. With Malkin, Crosby, Stall, and Fleury in their line up they've got a great future and will finally make it to the playoffs.\nMontreal Canadiens. Goalie controversy. I'm a bit disappointed with the way Huet is playing right now but it's great that we kept Aebischer. Go HABS.

Oilers are on fire with Dwayne Roloson leading the way.  Probably the best move all season by any team.  The sharks aren't playing their best hockey and the Oilers have a very good chance at winning this series

Right now Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals is set for June 1st and if you give two days. The Stanley cup finals should start on June 3 or 4th depending on TV.  Then going every other night game 7 would be june 15 or 16.\n\nBut i think if the two conference finals finish early the Stanley cup finals will start sooner as well.\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo....

I'm very upset to see thhe great season down the drain. but hopefully this will teach them a lesson for next year. I'm not gonna make excuses here, just facts. Lets see, Edmonton, first off, did one hell of a job. Pronger played like he needed to and Roloson showed up hungry. The Wings went in overconfident I think and Edmonton stunned them for the first 2 and 1/2 games with their great teamwork, goaltending, and lets not forget that tricky neutral ice trap style defense that worked out great. Detroit was not slow at all. In every game since game 2, Detroit controlled the tempo, had way more ice time in the offensive zone, and nearly doubled Edmonton in Shots on goal. The wings did great, they got great scoring chances but just weren't finishing on them. Stevie Y and Lang were in the trenches of every play of their shift. Zetty scored at least one goal every game. Maltby did one hell of a job blocking the passing lanes and forceing turnovers on the power play. Shanny had many of opportunities. It's not that we didn't play well. We had the chances, but just could not convert them into points. Now don't get me wrong on this next part, I like Manny Legace a lot, but every game, he allowed over his goals per game average and in nearly every game he allowed 2 goals within the first 10 shots and one game where he allowed 2 goals within the first 7 shots. Ya can't do that in the playoffs. They couldn't pull him and let ozzy play, cause ozzy was injured. I think Manny is an excellent goaltender, but he just had a really bad playoff run. Possibly due to inexperience. I just hope they don't fire manny for it. He got us the Presidents Trophy and he's been one hell of a backup for the past few seasons. lets not forget when we had Hasek and Kujo, Legace was third string and both Kujo and Hasek were injured and Manny played nearly as many games as Dom and Kujo combined, and we won the presidents trophy that year too. I say keep Manny, he just needs more experience as a starter. Hats off to Edmonton for a series well played. they won fair and square. All except for the third goal that was reviewed in game 6. It was def hit down with a high stick that the refs didn't call and then a very controversial kicking motion. but oh well. Maybe next year for the Wings. (((( KEEP MANNY LEGACE ))))

You called it, rogue. The Sabres will win this series in six games, possibly five. Buffalo matches up beautifully against Carolina and will absolutely defeat them to advance to the Stanley Cup Finals (and I have zero fear of Anaheim, assuming they get there).\n\nTime to enlighten eurofootballfan... The Sabres were 1-2-1 against the Hurricanes (you overlooked the shootout). More to the point, in their last meeting, which was on the final night of the regular season, Carolina had EVERYTHING to play for, as a win would have meant the top seed in the Eastern Conference. Buffalo had NOTHING to play for but pride, as they could not move up or down in the seedings. Indeed, the Sabres rested starting goalie Ryan Miller and several other veteran players. The game was even played in Carolina, so the 'Canes were all set, right? \n\nWrong! The Sabres annihilated them, shutting them out 4-0 in front of a home crowd stunned into silence. Get ready for more of the same (I wouldn't rule out a Sabres sweep) in the Eastern Conference Finals. Your point about the heavy reliance on Eric Staal and his line only further makes my point. The Chris Drury line, the Sabres' best checking line, will completely shut down your heroes who rely far too much on a single line for their scoring. Don't believe me? Ask Peter Forsberg and Simon Gagne. Ask Daniel Alfredsson and Dany Heatley. \n\nAs for your precious Cam Ward, he was shelled in game 4 in New Jersey and the Sabres will exploit him much worse. Buffalo has three balanced scoring lines and a different hero every night. Our top defensive pairing, Henrik Tallinder and Toni Lydman will make your top scoring line look abject, again, as they did with Philly and Ottawa. And best of all, we have the best young goattender in the world between the pipes, Ryan Miller. I hope you enjoyed the first two rounds because you are doomed, Carolina fans. Face your fate and enjoy defeat. It's coming, courtesy of my Buffalo Sabres, the 2006 Stanley Cup Champions. \n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!

I grew up in Buffalo am now living in Michigan. This would be a dream series  Sabres vs Red Wings.  Wouldn't care who won but if I was a betting person Stanley will establish residency in Detroit.

Wong, you're pretty close.  Mob, you're way off.\n\nThe first deciding factor is seed (ranking).  The top seeded team will always have home ice.  When you get to the Stanley Cup Finals, there is a chance of two equally seeded teams meeting up.  If that is the case, it goes to regular season record.  If those are equal, then it goes to total GF (goals for - whoever has more).  If all the planets are aligned and those are equal, then it goes to GA (goals against - whoever has less).  There is one more deciding factor, but I can't remember what it is.\n\nIt doesn't matter at this point in the playoffs - Edmonton will always be the road team.  If it came down to Edmonton and Tampa Bay (8th seed in the East), then it would go to regular season record.
