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....

They have lost 10 in a row--have been swept in their last 3 series--I am not sure they are capable of winning another game--however they are playing Tampa Bay this weekend, so hopefully they can win at least one of those games!!!!

The Canes will win the Stanley cup, no doubt about it! How many games you ask..........5. The Oilers cannot not defeat the canes in even one game this series, but the canes will give away one game to this goalie-less team!!!!!

They lost some key players; Yzerman and Shanahan. Chelios is getting old, and Hasek is a big question at this point. I would say they will win their division, but I don't think they will go far in the playoffs again this year.

I think they have a really good chance.  I don't recall them making any huge acquisitions during the lockout, but whatever they did worked.  They would have to go through Ottawa, Philadelphia, or NY Rangers to get to the finals, but I like their chances.  If they have to play either Philly or NYR, I put them at 85%.  75% if they play Ottawa.  We could possibly see a rematch of the 2001-2002 Stanley Cup Finals when the Hurricanes played Detroit.\n\nAnd by the way, I seem to remember Calgary losing to Tampa last season.  Also, I am from Los Angeles, CA.  GO KINGS!

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....:(

Although I agree with everyones point on why the Flames are better then the Sharks...\n\nI do believe EVERYONE forgot one very important fact. \n\nIn the 2003-2004 playoffs...western conference finals....Let me ask you...\n\nWHO kicked WHOSE a§§ to become the Western Conference Champions...???\n\nThats right...the Flames kicked the Sharks a§§....\n\nI think that pretty much covers it...Thank you. \n\nGO FLAMES GO...

Good question. No doubt the Oilers have momentum on their side after playing a near-perfect game 6...BUT...the 'Canes have home ice advantage on their side for the deciding game and those fans will be NUTS! Additionally, since the 7 game format started in 1939, there have only been 13 game 7's...and the home team has won 11 of those. The only thing that remains is this: with the 'Canes having blown a 3-1 series lead, will they become the second team to lose a Stanley Cup final after leading 3 games to 1? The Maple Leafs (GOD, that hurt to say that! LOL) did it 54 years ago. Is it time for history to repeat itself and see the Oilers win their 6th cup in franchise history? I think so. I believe the 'Canes' psyche is far more fragile after two absolutely devastating and demoralizing losses and they won't have enough to close the deal.

Rubba-dub-dub LETS WIN THE CUP?

Not unless Vokie comes back...\n\nPaul Kariya is great and what he did in Anaheim in 03' was phenominal...but I seriously doubt Nashville can get past Detroit, Dallas, Ottawa, or Carolina in a series. And they would most likely face one or two of those teams on the road to the cup.

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.
