The Red Wings are the best. Two words sum it up Brendan Shanahan.

They are the best team in the NBA hands down. Every team has a weakness and with the Pistons i dont see it! Look at thier starting 5.\nPG-Chauncey Billups- Clutch point guard. Good shooter and great court vision\nSG-Rip Hamilton- The best perimeter shooter in the game. \nSF- Tayshaun Prince- One of the better defenders in the NBA and has a good 3 point shot\nPF- Rasheed Wallace- The definition of versatility. Can score inside,outside and mid range. Can shoot the three and rebound with anybody in the lague\nC- Ben Wallace- A monster on the boards. Is one of the most competitive people i have ever seen.\n\nNow look at their bench\nTony Delk, Lindsey Hunter, Antinio McDyess, Dale Davis, Kelvin Cato, Mourice Evans and last but not least Carlos Delfino.\n\nAll these guys are battle tested and have played in the playoffs. I think this team can go on to be one of the best ever

No... only You.    .Scotty Bowman is not even the head coach anymore.  He retired about 4 years ago I think it was.  When they won their LAST Stanley cup!\n\nScotty  Bowman retired when he was at his highest point and is loving every minute of it!  Now if you are asking about the Red Wings HEAD COACH, MIKE BABCOCK is not crying.. he is relaxing!  Stressful and SUCCESSFULL season is over.  Who was ranked number 1 in the whole NHL ALL SEASON long??????  WHO got the presidents trophy???  WHO'S  goalie was Mr. October???   Just because Detroit IS the best does not mean they are perfect!\n\nLOL.. I think you are my newest favorite enemy!!!   lol

I live right near Detroit and I've been a wings fan my whole life.  I think resigning Chelios was a great idea.  Chelios brings a fire to the ice that you don't see out of enough players.  He is one of the best penalty killers in the league and he is a very smart hockey player.  Too many "hockey fans" today can't tell the difference between a good defenseman and an egg salad sandwich.  I think Ken Holland (one of the best GMs in hockey) knows what he's doing.  If resigning him was a bad idea then one of you idiots would be getting paid millions to make those decisions.    Go Chelios '07

The team is definitely one of the fastest and most aggressive out there,  they can definitely score and they are fun to watch.  However it is a very young and inexperienced team.  There defense has looked shoddy at times and to win the cup, a team needs a defense that can get it done.  Another key is goaltending, again you see that they are inexperienced in this area, while Gerber has looked excellent at times, its hard to say how he will hold up in the playoffs. We need to remember that the last Cup winner was the Lightning, a young talented team riding hot scorers and a hot goalie.  We can't count out the 'Canes but you need to remember that if they don't get it done this year, this is a team that will be good for many years.

Hockey, by a mile!  It's fast.  It's exciting.  It makes me jump on my couch and scream: Let's go Rangers!!!\n\nWhy do I love hockey?  Here are a few reasons:\n\nJagr, Lundqvist, Prucha, Malik, Kasparitis, Sykora, Nylander, Ward, Moore, Ortmeyer, Hollweg, Straka, Rucinsky, Ruccin ... and so on.

They're pretty good, and might make the playoffs yet, watch out for Florida though won 7 in a row. They need a big Defenceman like that Chara guy Ottawa has, to keep the front of the net clear for the goalies. They also have to keep guys like Savard and Hossa happy (ie. more money), and they have both played great this season. Thats about all I can think of. Go Lightning!

This is absolutely right.  They've been consistent winners with a solid core of future Hall of Famers.  Over the last 10 years they've featured players like Yzerman, Shanahan, Hull, Fedorov, Lang, Lidstrom, Chelios, Robitaille, Hasek, Zetterberg and Datsyuk.  It seems that whoever comes to play for Detroit just automatically gets better, and who wouldn't with the kind of veteran leadership that this team has had?  The new rules and the salary cap were supposed to kill Detroit, but as of today, they are in the lead for the President's Cup.  Great team with a great tradition.

Definetly. Im an avid Sabres fan and i've been watching this team all year. The new NHL favors speedy and skillful teams much like the Sabres. The teams that seem to give the Sabres the most trouble are teams with distinguished goaltending and defense. Although Ottawa plays very solid defense, with Hasek still out for atleast another round I dont think Ray Emery can do enough to stop this Sabres offense. Lines 1-4 for the Sabres are filled with energy and skill. I dont think that any remaining team can compare to the depth they have, which is way I look for this team to make a long run in this years playoffs.

Highly doubtful.\nThey have a pretty good core of guys, and if the defense (and Hasek!) stays healthy, they should have a decent year.\nAny team can win on any given day in the NHL, but there are quite a few teams with more talent in the league.  \nI'd love to see them hold up the cup again, but I doubt it will happen soon....:(

The Detroit Pistons are the best in the NBA, bar none.  They have stopped the Spurs twice already this year; their offense is runnin' wild now - Flip has let the reins loose on the offensive side (something that Brown never did!) and it shows.  Meanwhile, their D is and always has been, stellar.  They have kicked it up a notch and none of the other teams can compete when the Pistons bring it to them.  Another reason is that they're so deep - the bench is almost ANOTHER starting team!  Joe Dumars has been quite excellent in putting this team together.  Watch for the Pistons to run deep in the playoffs this year, yet again, and quite possibly run the table!

Edmonton dude, they are the most phyical team in hockey right now and with Pronger, Symth, Samsonov, Pisani, Torres, and most of all Horcoff, unstoppable.

sometime in the next decade or so if they ever quit rebuilding their team.  any team with lindros never goes too far. just believe it someday they will rise again.  look to see the wings and how long it took them to rebuild and get to where they are now.

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 !!!
