Well, I think it will be a big playoff match between Ottawa and Detroit. Ottawa will probably be expected to win, seeing that they're the biggest,baddest team in th NHL. But, Detroit has come up from behind of many teams and they will probably win the Stanley Cup in a 6 game match.

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.

the wings for many reasons.  zetterberg and datsyuk will light up the lamp.  yzerman and fischer should be motivation enough to win the cup.  what i mean by that is it might be yzerman's last year and use the loss of fischer to play at their best.  GO WINGS!!!!  BRING IT!!!!  they will bring the cup to hockeytown.

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.

Out of the West, the Red Wings should get into the Finals. Dallas goalie Marty Turco has only beat the Wings once, and that was in a shootout. His record against Detroit is like 1-5-1. Its bad. Detroit has handled Nashville nicely in the past week. The only team Detroit has to worry about is Vancouver because for some reason they just know how to beat Detroit. The east is a bit more difficult this season. Philadelphia has not won a game in Detroit in like 14 years, so if they make it to the finals, Detroit would win. I dont know how they match up against the Senators because Detroit and Ottawa do not play this season. Carolina matches up well against Detroit. The Devils also match up well. I do think though the Red Wings will win it because im from Detroit.

I believe that Detroit is going to wake up and win 6-2 before clinching the series in game 7.  If they aren't up 2 or 3-0 after the first period, then Edmonton will win 3-1.

The Red Wings have a really good team but the only way they are going to make it is if they have a sweep in the first round. Chelios and the older players are the achilles heel of the team. Not because of their skill but because of their age and the time that it takes for them to recover. I think that the Oilers will beat them and because they are a young team, they should be able to recover quicker and be able to go a long way. I think that the Oilers have a really good shot at going all the way.

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

I'd love to say the Flyers, but down 2-0, that doesn't look to be the case.\n\nOut of the East- presently you have to look at the match-ups as follows:\n\nTop seed Ottawa losing a close one, not drilled Tampa Bay.  TB no longer with a top rated back stop can be counted out.\n\nWith a 2-0 lead, Montreal holds on against the higher rated Canes with solid goaltending.\n\nThe Devils OWN the series against the Devils\n\nThe Sabres will hold on against the Flyers with their speed.\n\nTherefore- 2nd round match-ups make for:\n\nOttawa versus the lowest remaining seed- Canadians\nand Sabres versus the Devils.\n\nMy pick would be Ottawa and the Devils, with the Devils playoff savvy and defense beating the Sens with a non-top ranked backstop (with Hasek maybe a different story).\n\nNow let's move to the West---\n\nDown 2-1, the Wings will come back against the Oilers.\n\n#2- Dallas looks to be on the outs against the Avs.\n\n#3 Calgary will take the victory up 2-1 against the Ducks\n\nand #5 Sharks will hold on against the Preds.\n\nThat leaves the 2nd round match-ups as...\n\nWings versus Avs- GREAT match-up!  Wings prevail.\n\nCalgary versus the Sharks.  Gotta go with Mikka and the Flames.\n\nThat means a Western Final of Detroit versus Calgary.  Mikka doesn't do it again this year and the Wings march on to get ROMPED by the Devils and Brodeur.\n\nI HATE the Devils!

Great question!  My heart says Dallas since I live in Texas and am a Spurs, rather than a Mavericks fan, but if the Spurs don't take it then I would love to see Avery Johnson (former Spurs' point guard) win it as a coach.\n\nHaving said that, I think the Pistons are almost a lock this year and the Mavericks are a dark horse, at best.  The Spurs will give the Pistons a run for their money and might even take it provided Timmy Duncan and Ginobili stay healthy throughout the playoff run.\n\nAs for the NHL, I don't follow that as closely as I do the NBA.  But as far as I can tell, the Red Wings and Stars appear pretty evenly matched.  But NHL playoff hockey is sometimes difficult to predict.  A goalie can make or break a run at the Stanley Cup.
