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.

Brazil are the bookies favourite.\n\nEngland would be in with a shout if we didn't have a turnip-headed manager with no plan B and USA are in with more of a shout than people give them credit for.\n\nPersonally though I think France will be back knocking on the door, but Germany being the host nation is a big factor and the Ukraine could pull up some trees with Mr. Schevchenko up front.

OH yes, Ukraine! \n\nI really hope so. It's a young country that is taking a stand in the world in many aspects, music and sports especially. Ukraine needs this win, please God help them\n\nBuvajte!

i believe the wings will win it for stevie y.  this is may be his last chance for the cup.  i think there is a hunger there that is unmatched by any team in the west outside of dallas.  it would make the fans of detroit like me happy to see stevie y raise that cup over his head one more time before he retires so he can retire with four cups under his belt.  i believe it can be done this season if everything goes their way.

Steaua will win. Yes they are the best... and all other teams underestimate Steaua.

I'd like to see the USA bring it home. It's hard to go against France with the way Henry is playing. Germany has a great team with the homeland edge. Although my guess is ENGLAND with their very well rounded team and if Robinson plays well in the net.

Have to go with the Red Wings.\n\nThe previous post mentioned their age as a factor, however the Red Wings are much younger this year then in previous years.  A lot of their production is coming from those younger members.  (Zetterberg, Dutsyuk, Samuelsson, and Williams are amoung thier top scorers.)\n\nTheir older players (Shanahan, Lidstrom, and Schneider) add leaderhsip and are preforming great.\n\nOsgood is handling the Goalie duties very well.  \n\nFinally, the seem to have a coach in Mike Babcock that the older guys respect and the younger are learning from.\n\nHard to beat that combination. \n\nIt's a long season and lots of things could change after the olympics.  Watch for key injuries at that time that will change the future for several teams.

Sharks. They're winning and without much help from Thorton or Cheechoo. Marleau is a beast in the playoffs.

Brazil, if they can get their act together.\nBut of course I think other countries could win it. Theres alot of talent out there.\n\nAnd.. Canada isnt even in the Cup...

Assuming we can get by Ottawa -- and I believe we can -- my proud Buffalo Sabres will win Lord Stanley's Cup and all of WNY (and those of us Sabres fans scattered about the rest of the world) will rejoice forevermore! :)\n\nGO SABRES!!!

let's all hope its ukraine ! They really need to go to the semis and maybe further they are a good team with a great coach(oleg blokhin)Just remember Italy and ukriane played in friendlies and the ukrainians managed to tie without Shevchenko so they can do this and beat them!

i'd like to see one of the new teams specially the african teams win it. however i think it's going to be Brazil, or england will win it this year.

i see a dogfight between these two.  whoever's goalie is hotter will win the series.  the ducks are my pick in seven.  they are as fast as edmonton and have a good goalie.
