Why do you think the Montreal Canadiens will win the Stanley Cup this year?

Yes. They will win the Cup and bring back the Cup where it belongs Canada.

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.

If you look at the standings, the best teams right now are Detroit, Carolina, Dallas, Ottowa and the NY rangers. Having watched alot of NHL games, I tend to lean toward the Red Wings as being the best to this point. They are playing as good as they have in recent years and have made an effort to enfuse their younger players early in the year which will make them stronger during a Cup run.

They'll go past the first round of the playoffs then lost in the 2nd round. They've got a bright future ahead though.  With two great goalies (if they keep them both), they'd be a threat for a few years. GO HABS.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to say zero. They didn't utilize this years trade deadline through some misguided belief that they could make a cup run this year with the team they have. The team is aging and prospects are poor.

sure.\n\nbut even more importantly, do you think Edmonton has a chance at winning the Stanley Cup?

You ask because they will win for 3rd time the trophy?\n\nNothing. Trophy is now perpetual.

Actually, yes. They have a great attitude and are not merely satisfied splitting the series 1-1 in Ottawa. They fully intend to go out and win again tonight and here's hoping they do just that! For some odd reason, Game Two of a best-of-seven series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs is significant. Close to 70% of the teams who win Game Two end up winning the series. So...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

I am ecstatic! My proud, young underdog Sabres weren't expected to even make the playoffs this year by the so-called "experts" and now they're crushing the top seed left in these glorious Stanley Cup Playoffs! Fantastic! :)\n\nWe now return to Buffalo for Games 3 & 4 at home, but no one expected us to be up 2-0 after the first two games in Ottawa. The Sabres are in complete control of this series and I believe they shall go on and win it (not sure about a sweep). I KNOW we can defeat Carolina because we've done it several times this season, and it's looking like they may beat New Jersey. \n\nI don't wish to get ahead of myself here but my Sabres are setting themselves up to WIN IT ALL! How awesome would that be for the long-suffering fans back home in Buffalo, eh? :)\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!! =)

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.

Close but no.  Pronger has been great, but as a team the Oilers were consistent and Roloson was HOT.  He is actually third this year so far behind:  Joe Sakic and Scott Neidermayer.  Colorado would not be in the 2nd round but for the leadership of Sakic.  This is his team and he shows up every night and leads the charge.  Neidermayer was the best player in the Ducks-Flames series and stabalizes the whole team.  So my top 3 are all out West.  Which means someone from the East will win the Cup.  My pick as of today: New Jersey

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

Well This Aint Cosidered A Playoff...But The NCAA Tourney Is Far Better Than The Stanley Cup...Its So Fun To Try And Predict What Will Happen..

Buffalo will win. They play like a team. They don't have one guy they give the pick to and expect big things of. Such as a guy like Gagne or Heatley, or with the Canes and Staal (sp?) and Brindamour. We have guys like Pominville and Brier and Afinegenov. Look at the talent spread across the line. Their leading scorer from the season is considered to be from the Checking Line: Chris Drury. Are you kidding me? Drury is not a checking line player. He is a playmaker. \n\nOttawa a team that was the cup favorite. Had all the talent in the world but couldnt use it. Hence why Buffalo will win. \n\nWait how many times did Ryan Miller get pulled in the playoffs? Didnt he allow 6 goals in game 1 against the Sens? But the Sabres still won. \n\nCam Ward kiss those Cup Dreams good bye. You Will Witness the Real Rookie of the Year in Ryan Miller. You know that kid who got no acknowledgement in the rookie of the year balloting and took his team to the playoffs. A team that not only wasnt supposed to make the playoffs, but was supposed to finish in the basement. \n\nKeep saying that Buffalo won't win. Its been said all year and hasnt kept us down. So Anaheim...see you in the Cup.

They're pretty good, and might make the playoffs yet, watch out for Florida though won 7 in a row. They need a big Defenceman like that Chara guy Ottawa has, to keep the front of the net clear for the goalies. They also have to keep guys like Savard and Hossa happy (ie. more money), and they have both played great this season. Thats about all I can think of. Go Lightning!

Yes,they will!\n\n\nThe Buffalo Sabres shall win the Stanley Cup!:)\n\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

I agree with you.  I also live in North Carolina and we love our hockey down here.  I say GO CANES GO.  If they win the Stanley Cup, it will be the first big professional win for any professional sport team from our state.  The Carolina Panthers almost won the Superbowl a couple years ago.  Our NBA team needs a lot help right now.
