what canadian team will win the 2006 stanley cup and why?

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 !!!

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'll have to argue and say that the Sharks will win the Pacific division.  Great teams are built up the middle and the Sharks truly follow this path, with the best 1 2 combination of centres in the NHL in Marleau and Thornton, and in goal with Toskala and Nabokov. The centres are able to split much of the ice time among each other and can team up for key power plays and late game situations(think Messier and Gretzky).  Add in the scoring punch of young guns Jonathan Cheechoo, Steve Bernier, and Milan Michalek and you're looking at a deadly combination.  The back end is sharp too, with rookie Matt Carle quarterbacking the powerplay and gritty Scott Hannan and Kyle Mclaren locking up the back end.  Again considering how much rest both star netminders can get(think Gerber and Ward, Vernon and Osgood, or Barrasso and Wregget) and you're not only looking at a team that is good enough to win the Pacific division crown, but will surely compete for Lord Stanley's Cup.

San Jose Sharks will win because they have the most Canadians on their team. All the "Canadian" teams captain's will be playing for Sweden and Finland in the world championships next week. Sundin likes Abba!

I think it's going to game seven, which is a toss up. But then, Carolina could take it in six in light of the injuries...jcass, I think you have it twisted. Let's not forget that Buffalo would not even be here if it were not for the key injury to Ottawa, aka Hasek. Ottawa handled Buffalo all year, but they were lucky enough to run into a rookie goalie in the playoffs.\n\nUndeserving Oilers? Remind me who beat the President's Trophy winner in 6 games? And who came back from 2 games down to beat the hottest team in the NHL going into playoffs in 4 straight (barring possibly New Jesrsey)? Who is up 3 games to 1 against the team that battled the Flames to a first round defeat and swept the Avalanche (another one of the 3 hottest teams in the league going into the playoffs)? Who fought wars all year just to make the playoffs in the toughest divison in the NHL? If there has ever been a team more deserving of a Stanley Cup than the Edmonton Oilers, I have not heard of them.

Maple Leafs. My father scouted for them so, being about 7 at the time, that was a pretty good reason to pick them as my team. They haven't won the cup since.

The Buffalo Sabres are hotter than they've ever been. While everyone has been talking about Carolina in the East, Buffalo is the real surprise story of 05-06 season. They are my pick to win it all
