Who do I want to win or who do I think is going to win?  I want the stinkin' Oilers to go all the way.  After my other teams (Canucks & Senators) got knocked out I have to go for the other Canadian teams that are still in even if they are Edmonton.  But looking back at the past couple games I don't have much confidence left in the stinkin' Oilers so I'm going to say I think the Canes are going to win it tonight, sadly.

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

I agree with both parts of your statement.  I am not upset that the wings are out and hope that Ottawa wins it all.  I predicted, against many vocal opponents on here, that Detroit would get upset and that NY Rangers wouldn't get past the first round.  Nobody believed me.  Detroit had an extremely easy division to play in and I thought they would have trouble winning a more difficult series.  (against any team with a record over .500)

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

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.

"The Carolina Panthers"?  (reference an answer a few submissions up).  hehe.  It's Hurricanes, but perhaps you meant to say Panthers?\n\nAnyhow, I am stunned by Detroit's early exit - likewise the Stars.  The East seems to be keeping pace - the top teams have either advanced or are near advancing, while upsets abound in the West.\n\nI'm a Canes fan, but I have to say, if they exit the playoffs, I'm pulling for Edmonton.\n\nAs for what happened to Detroit?  They spent the whole season being #1 and my best guess is they simply ran out of gas.

I think they will take it this year. First off this is probably going to be Yzermans last year and all of his teammates know that and will want to send him off on top like Bowman 4 years ago. second they have 7 or 8 20 goal scorers this year, and you can take any player on that team and put them on any other teams first line and they will fit in. third the 6 Swedes enough said. fourth Pavel Datsyuk, better player than Sergei Fedorov could ever dream of being. and finally with Draps and Malts on the penalty kill. Detroits gonna have 2 partys to throw this spring, the Wings and the Pistons

O isn't that cute that you think the bulls are going to win. We all know its going to be Detroit. I do like the bulls but I am always routing for the Pistons

I would like to see the Rangers win the cup.  I think that they will end up being my surrogate team (seeing as both Minnesota and Phoenix have not a chance).  Unfortunately though, I think that the Wings will end up beating the Rangers in 6 games.

in my opinion the rangers last cup win back in 1994. followed by detroit's first cup in 42 years in 1997

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.
