Nhl Playoffs

[King_Nothing]

Well it looks like the playoff picture is complete.
Anyone here have any thoughts?
What are your picks for:

Cup Finals? - Stars vs. Sens
Stanley Cup? - Sens
Conn Smyth? - Heatley

[Mr.Metal]

I really hope this is the Sens year!

But the Buffalo Sabres are a pretty scary team right now, and New Jersey has Brodeur.

On the other side you have the Sharks who have been playing great, the Red Wings who seem unstoppable (although they tend to chocke ) and Dallas.

Stanley Cup final: Senators vs Dallas
Stanley Cup Champs: Senators
MVP: Dany Alffredson

I support Dallas and Calgary.

I don't think Calgary can make to finals, because their game trusts too much Kipper. Although, if Kipper doesn't fail and they keep winning soccer numbers then it's all possible.

But Dallas has very good chance to get cup this year. Many good lines, and Turco seems quite hot goalie. If they don't make finals, it's a shame.

Im not bothered much about the East, and well neither the West since the Kings were eliminated. Too choose favourites for the win would be Calgary, but as long as it doesn't go Dallas, Detroit or Anaheim im not too bothered.

It's going to be a great playoff season this year, and I'm glad to see that there's coverage for almost every series. My beloved Montreal Canadiens are going to be in for a helluva fight against Carolina, who have generally thrashed them all season long (Theo was around for all of those lopsided losses, however), and it could get ugly for us.

Beyond that, it's really hard to go against Ottawa, even if they have to rely on the unproven Ray Emery to get them through until Hasek returns (if ever). That said, Jersey is absolutely on fire right now, Buffalo is on a major roll, and though they're down in 6th because of Montreal's choke-job last night, the Rangers have been consistent all season.

In the West, good luck predicting that one. It literally could be any of them that represent the conference in the Cup Finals. It will likely come down to some combination of Detroit, Dallas, Calgary, and San Jose. Not to knock any of the other teams, but those four have been fantastic for most of the season, and in the case of the Sharks, the Thornton-Cheechoo combination has been lethal ever since the trade.

All I know for sure is that I'll be watching a lot of hockey in the next few weeks, and cheering on my Habs until they're not around any more....if that happens.

Here's how my schedule starts each day- Go Up at 6 a clock to watch hockey with the doughter ( though she's kinda sleeping through the whole thing when she ain't eating I'd like to think she watches the game ).

As like the past few years the cup is up for graps and anyone get win, but if I was to make a guess I would have go with New Jersey and Buffalo as a black horse pick. For the west I'll go with San Jose and Edmonton as a black horse pick. The only team left I can really cheer for is Ottawa, but with Hasek out the first round againts TB could easly go 7. Both teams are getting spotty goaltending. Montreal might get past the first round, but getting past two may be pushing it. Calary has a chance to get to the finals, but lack of dept may hurt them and it their oppisition can get to Kipper that will be the big key to taking them down. Edmonton, most will think they will go out in the first round, but they have pulled off some big upsets in the past. Young and fast and if they get hot goaltending. Now if only my team made the playoffs.
