Big 'Canes fan so for me it's the 'Canes and Habs, but overall I'd say it's a tie between Rangers/ Devils and Flyers/Sabres, out west the best first round series is Ducks/Flames.\n\nIt will be Detroit and Carolina in the Cup finals, Carolina in 6.

Well I would say Pistons are the best.\n\nBut the Spurs are good because they play strong defense, and have a perfectly balanced and salary-wise maintained roster. And they are the NBA's deepest team.

If you are talking about one single team in a season - then I would say the Oilers in the early 80's though you could also argue for the Red Wings, the Islanders, or any other team. As for dynasty type - I would say either Montreal or Detroit. Two great hockey organizations over the years.

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.

If you had to choose one team, I think the 70-79 Red Army team was the best.  Not only did they beat the All-Starts from the NHL the WHA, and the best teams the NHL and WHA had to offer, they dominated the sport at such a high level that they were unbeatable. They won 7 World Championships, 2 Olympic Gold Medals.  With wingers like Valery Kharlamov and Boris Mikhailov, Centered by Valdimir Petrov they created one of the greatest and most dangerous scoring lines of all-time and with the greatest goalie of his time Vladislav Tretiak. I don’t even think the great Canadians or Oilers teams could have beaten them in there Prime

St. Louis because they are the best team.

Edmonton dude, they are the most phyical team in hockey right now and with Pronger, Symth, Samsonov, Pisani, Torres, and most of all Horcoff, unstoppable.

Ottawa.  They have the best offence and the best defence.  Scored the most goals and had the biggest differential of goals for vs. goals against = +103.\n\nDetroit may have ended the season with more points but they are in the weakest division in the NHL and got to play Columbus, Chicago, and St. Louis 8 times each.  They are old and it will show as the playoffs continue.

Yeah, they have an amazing team with all sorts of superstars.  I hope Jiri Fischer comes back to hockey.

the best goalie is Patrick Roy which he is retired from the Avalanche. and the next goalie is David Aebischer which the manager just had to trade him to canadian montreal for this guy name theodore.. so the goalie now is Peter Budaj.. which he is really nice b/c i met him once.. ok anyways the best captain is Joe Sakic from the Avalanche also.. and the best rookie is Marek Svatos but he just got injured and is out for the season.. ok sorry for talking too much.

The Raiders?  They finished DEAD LAST in the AFC West last season. That organization is in disarray- it's a good thing they re-hired Art Shell.\n\nThe Penguins?  They nearly finished dead last in the entire NHL this season! They're future with Crosby looks promising, though.\n\nPortugal is a contender, though not a front-runner for the World Cup this year by any means.\n\nIt's good to have favorite teams out there- but not good to have dilusions about how good they are.
