Sorry for Iceman33, but the "Mecque" of Hockey is in Canada. In Montreal, in fact.
The Habs are part of the culture and tradition of Quebec. The players have a lot of pression they're, cause the hockey is really important to the eyes of the fans, there.
That said, I'm a bit worried of the Canadians... The loose what? 6 games straigt? And Huet is aside, injured...

Well, its like that for every city dude for every sport. The companies have to put the local games on. That's just what happens.
If you really care about any other team, get NHL Centre Ice....I live in Ottawa and I cant get TO games...

ya i watched it on NBC...but they freakin cut to NYR-NYI mid way through the Pens game!Pens will go deep but i dont think they can get past buffalo, new jersey
aww man, that is PISS nuts. I would madder than a dog nut in heat that just got trampled over. Sabres Got nothing on FLUERY, and the speed of youthfull talent which makes up the penguins team. SABRES GOIN DOWN 💃 PENS GETTIN CUP 💃
seriously though, why the hell do network stations do that shit?
The West will probably win this year imo. Vancouver looks like a strong contender with Luongo arguably being the best goalie in the league right now. Anaheim is dangerous too with strong defense, great forwards and Giguere is a former playoff MVP winner. They definitely have the tools to get it down. Detroit will fail due to too many Europeans, Nashville is too small, New Jersey doesn't have enough depth, Penguins are too young (although they looked very impressive against Boston) and Fleury isn't as good as some of you seem to think, he's a super bright prospect and I love him, but not yet. Tampa Bay doesn't have the depth, Atlanta has too many Europeans, not enough leadership, and too young of a goalie.
My picks for top four are:
West - Anaheim vs. Vancouver
East - Buffalo vs. Ottawa
Finals:
Anaheim vs. Buffalo
Champs: Anaheim
😄
Typical Canadian.
Saying a team wont win because it has Europeans on it, and not realizing that Vancouver (a Canadian team I might add) is filled with Europeans, especially considering thier captain is Swedish, thier top three scorers are swedish and thier main guy in the back is Chezch.
The only thing that they have thats Canadian is Luongo.
But also considering that the Canucks have always faltered in the playoffs, and that Luongo hasnt played in the playoffs, I wouldnt be soo sure...and that they have too many Europeans on it.
