Well I would say Pistons are the best.\n\nBut the Spurs are good because they play strong defense, and have a perfectly balanced and salary-wise maintained roster. And they are the NBA's deepest team.

Why don't you ask Wayne Gretzky, Bobby Orr, or Mario Lemieux why they didn't play a more artistic flowing game of hockey?\n\nIMO, The north American game combines highly skilled artisitic play, with a hard edged, hard hitting action to make it the greatest game in the world.

If you had to choose one team, I think the 70-79 Red Army team was the best.  Not only did they beat the All-Starts from the NHL the WHA, and the best teams the NHL and WHA had to offer, they dominated the sport at such a high level that they were unbeatable. They won 7 World Championships, 2 Olympic Gold Medals.  With wingers like Valery Kharlamov and Boris Mikhailov, Centered by Valdimir Petrov they created one of the greatest and most dangerous scoring lines of all-time and with the greatest goalie of his time Vladislav Tretiak. I don’t even think the great Canadians or Oilers teams could have beaten them in there Prime

Have to go with the Red Wings.\n\nThe previous post mentioned their age as a factor, however the Red Wings are much younger this year then in previous years.  A lot of their production is coming from those younger members.  (Zetterberg, Dutsyuk, Samuelsson, and Williams are amoung thier top scorers.)\n\nTheir older players (Shanahan, Lidstrom, and Schneider) add leaderhsip and are preforming great.\n\nOsgood is handling the Goalie duties very well.  \n\nFinally, the seem to have a coach in Mike Babcock that the older guys respect and the younger are learning from.\n\nHard to beat that combination. \n\nIt's a long season and lots of things could change after the olympics.  Watch for key injuries at that time that will change the future for several teams.

Lidstrom is the best, but Chris Chelios is in the same class with him.  The Red Wings are fortunate to have two great defensemen like those two.  Both are locks for the Hall of Fame when they finally hang 'em up.\n\nBobby Orr was a great player on a great Bruins team, but he was an offensive defenseman.  I was a hockey fan (Red Wings of course) in the years when Orr was the leader of that Boston team along with Phil Esposito, Gerry Cheevers, John McKenzie, Derek Sanderson, Johnny Bucyk and others.  Orr was an original, a defenseman who was offense-minded.  He strayed from the blue line more than any d-man had up to that time.  He scored a lot of goals, but was often up ice so much that it put a lot of pressure on the other defenseman.  Great player, but for pure defense, I'd take Lidstrom or Chelios any day.

The Raiders?  They finished DEAD LAST in the AFC West last season. That organization is in disarray- it's a good thing they re-hired Art Shell.\n\nThe Penguins?  They nearly finished dead last in the entire NHL this season! They're future with Crosby looks promising, though.\n\nPortugal is a contender, though not a front-runner for the World Cup this year by any means.\n\nIt's good to have favorite teams out there- but not good to have dilusions about how good they are.

Here are some winning percentages excluding ties of the expansion teams\nSan Jose Sharks- 43%\nOttawa Senators- 47%\nTB Lightning- 40%\nFlorida Panthers- 44%\nAnaheim Ducks- 45%\nAtlanta Thrashers- 36%\nNashville Predators- 45%\nColumbus Blue Jackets- 37%\nMinnesota Wild- 45%\n\nI would say that the Ottawa Senators are the most successful, they are in Canada which means probably better attendance, also a presidents trophy and soon possibly a stanley cup, keeping in mind the newer expansion teams are just developing into good teams and minnesota is on the rise

The Red Wings have a really good team but the only way they are going to make it is if they have a sweep in the first round. Chelios and the older players are the achilles heel of the team. Not because of their skill but because of their age and the time that it takes for them to recover. I think that the Oilers will beat them and because they are a young team, they should be able to recover quicker and be able to go a long way. I think that the Oilers have a really good shot at going all the way.

I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan! I think they should've done much better with Sidney Crosby, Lemieux healthy, Gonchar, Leclair, and Zigmund Palffy. They should be one of the elites now.

all of those answers are good.  i think the top three greatest players of all-time are wayne gretzky, gordie howe and mario lemieux. the greatest player now is a toss-up between alexander ovechkin and sidney crosby. the best defenseman now is a tossup between chris pronger and nick lidstrom.  the best leader now is steve yzerman.  the best goalie now:  martin brodeur.  the best goalie of all time: a tie between patrick roy and terry sawchuck.  the best leaders in history:  mark messier, steve yzerman, and joe sakic to name a few.

The Russians (w/Malkin and Ovechkin) look very strong, but I think the Canadians are still a better team.\n\nSo...Canada would be my pick.
