I think the Sharks are a pretty good pick this year, Jay. But how can you not be a Habs fan? They have been hot this year!
KF, I'm a long time Bruins fan. Each year, I suffer from Early Playoff Exit syndrome. :(
I'm a Dallas Stars fan.
Good luck against the Ducks!!

Too much Ovechkin for Philadelphia.
NJ looks like a very old team.
Detroit will steamroll Nashville.
Cal - SJ looks like a great series.
Jose Theodore - comeback player of the year?

Interesting series between the two... can Boston tie it up?
toque, 1st prize in the pool is $280. :D
Can Boston tie it up? Yes and they could win the series. Boston have outplayed the Habs in all the games except the first.

Well, I'm going to cheer for the Canadiens on this one. Partly, so you can get the cash, though it would take a miracle. :lol And partly because I will cheer for any chance to have the cup in Canada. Is Calgary our only other hope?
I should post a pic of hubby with the cup. I think he was drooling in it though. :lol
Borje posed with The Cup? :bow
I'm afraid Calgary is poised to lose to San Jose. :(

The same thing also happened in 1994 when Vancouver lost game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. I think it can happen when a lot of people get together, some of whom are drunk, some of whom are overly emotional.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Rangers
Detroit Red Wings vs Colorado Avalanche
San Jose Sharks vs Dallas Stars
My fearless predictions (Part 2):
Montreal is too fast for the big, slow Flyers - Montreal in 6
Pittsburgh hasn't played to their potential yet - Pittsburgh in 6
Theodore will keep it close - Detroit in 7
The Sharks have been less than impressive, unlike Dallas - Stars in 6

Congrats to the Red Wings and their fans. Hopefully, we will get you next year, you turkeys. :D
