Who wins the Stanley Cup?

[pmorrow]

Who do you think will win?

[PenguinHunter]

I voted for the Dallas Stars.

I think they have good depth and lots of experience.
And Oettinger in the playoffs can be tough to beat.

And I want Pavelski to win the cup.

If Jumbo Joe didn't get a cup, I hope Little Joe does not!

[Swarley]

Tough to decide but I’ll go with the Florida Panthers

[Invictus]

Vegas has gamed the system enough to warrant my vote

[Daydream Nation]

Dallas and Carolina are my top picks. The next group includes NYR, Florida, Tampa, and Vegas (vomit).

Dallas

I can see a Florida/Dallas final and I think one of the best coaches in the NHL finally wins his first SC Trophy; Paul Maurice.

[SeaDawg]

I voted Dallas as well. So much depth on that team and they have solid goal-tending.

FWIW, I also think Carolina comes out of the East to face Dallas in the SCF.

It's Carolinas year.

[Bubba55]

Bruins. Why, cause I'm a Bruins fan, what else can I say (:

Most teams finishing #1 seem to falter under expectations.
I'm rooting for Dallas... but boy - this group has never been "the pick"... and now maybe they are... LOTS of pressure.

Edmonton is my pick in the West. I like the complimentary pieces brought in (Henrique esp).
They have more chemistry on D this year after patching in Ekholm only mid-last year. Now 1.5 years together... better.
They finished just far enough down the West standings to not be seen as "favourite"...
But where are they for points since Jan1?... probably pretty effin up there.

For same reason as Dallas, I'm not picking NYR out of the East. Expectations.... hoooo boy. No.
If Florida is healthy - I like them.

EDM vs. FLA is my finals pick.
FLA to win... nothing like being "close" and then knowing how/when exactly you have to give more.
Bobrovsky will stand on his head when needed.
And hopefully Matt Tkachuk feels good this go. Team is DEEEEP at forward this run.

[loppantorkel]

Went with Rangers at the start of the season and it looks like a decent pick still, so - Rangers ..over Edmonton. Close, but Shesterkin will shut them down.

[dejeanneret]

I took the Canes. I like the depth and veteran experience that team has sprinkled throughout, and the goaltending seems to have jelled at the right time too.

[Feenom]

Rags v Dallas. Dallas wins in 7

[The Comish]

Fanboy pick, Edmonton...versus Carolina, recreating the 2006 final. "Vengence will be ours, in this decade or the next" said some Gladiator somewhere.
