Who do you think will win this year's Stanley Cup?

Any team besides the Rangers and Red Wings would be fine with me.

The Detroit Red Wings would seem like an obvious pick, but in the Western Conference the last few playoffs, low seeded teams have seemed to done well (especially those with great second-half runs) teams such as Anaheim in 2003 or Calgary in 2004 make me think a low seed will come out of the West. \nHowever, that said, I think an Eastern team will win it and am going to have to go with Ottawa

Sorry Georgie, not this year. My pick is Anahiem. Gigure, Pronger=Stanely Cup. Detroit is my second pick though.

regardless of who they face, the buffalo sabres will most likely prevail in the stanley cup...with their young talent both on offense and defense, the team is on a roll, running through the competition.  sabres are the best bet for now and maybe for the next couple of years.

The Oilers for sure, they are not an 8th place team. They have just as good a chance as any, especially if they knock off Detroit. Then everyone will jump on the bandwagon.

I think Edmonton really WANTS it more, but stupid Carolina is actually gonna take it home.\n\nFrom:\nA bitter Sabres fan.

Detroit. They had thier championship stolen from them last year. They will definetly win this year. The league wont let the team that defines teamwork lose because of bad whistles this year.

Carolina.  The Oilers relied too much on Roloson.  If the Canes don't have any more games like most of game one, they'll win.

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 !!!

The Buffalo Sabres!\n\n\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

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.

I believe Edmonton is going to upset those overrated fat-cat red wings and I for one will rejoice! The Oilers are one of my unsung hero Canadian teams (hey, like, the game was invented there, eh?) and I hope they advance well into the playoffs. I will forever be in their debt if they can knock off the loathsome dead things from detroit and I believe they will do so. Go Edmonton!

I would love to see the Los Angeles Kings win . . . but I don't think that is going to happen.\n\nRangers have a good team with Jager and Lundqvist in Goal . . . but so does the Thrashers with Kovalchuk and Savard.  Thing is the 'Canes have a better team than both . . . \n\nSo in the East . . . I will say the 'Canes.\n\nFor the West . . . that is a tougher picture . . . because all the teams have been really unimpressive to me . . . but from what I observed in games . . . the Red Wings . . . have better teamwork and cohesion.\n\nSo the West will be the Red Wings.\n\nAs for the Stanley Cup . . . I would say it will be close . . . six games . . . . 'Canes.\n\nThey better win . . . because I had money on them before the season started.  Also had money on the Kings too . . . but I know that won't pay off . . . lol

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.
