Well, I think it will be a big playoff match between Ottawa and Detroit. Ottawa will probably be expected to win, seeing that they're the biggest,baddest team in th NHL. But, Detroit has come up from behind of many teams and they will probably win the Stanley Cup in a 6 game match.

EDMONTON ROCKS!!!!!\nThey are going for a good duck hunt.  My prediction is it will come down to the Oilers and the Sabres.  Sabres don't stand a chance though.\nGO OILERS GO!!!!!!\nYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

the wings for many reasons.  zetterberg and datsyuk will light up the lamp.  yzerman and fischer should be motivation enough to win the cup.  what i mean by that is it might be yzerman's last year and use the loss of fischer to play at their best.  GO WINGS!!!!  BRING IT!!!!  they will bring the cup to hockeytown.

I think Edmonton really WANTS it more, but stupid Carolina is actually gonna take it home.\n\nFrom:\nA bitter Sabres fan.

The Canes will win the Stanley cup, no doubt about it! How many games you ask..........5. The Oilers cannot not defeat the canes in even one game this series, but the canes will give away one game to this goalie-less team!!!!!

The Detroit Red Wings would seem like an obvious pick, but in the Western Conference the last few playoffs, low seeded teams have seemed to done well (especially those with great second-half runs) teams such as Anaheim in 2003 or Calgary in 2004 make me think a low seed will come out of the West. \nHowever, that said, I think an Eastern team will win it and am going to have to go with Ottawa

I'd like Seattle or Carolina to win it just because they haven't won it before. \n\nBut Pittsburgh has looked real good lately. They'll probably be the favorite to win it all.

I hope they win cuz I would like to see an 8 seed win the stanly cup. a 2 seed winning isn't nothing but an 8 seed win that would be history and edmonton hasnt come this far to not win.

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.

Well, the Tigers. The Red Wings are gonna blow it, as are the Pistons. So a Detroit team has to win the championship.\n\nThe Detroit Tigers!

Probably Detroit.\nBut there's always hope for the Avs...

Close but no.  Pronger has been great, but as a team the Oilers were consistent and Roloson was HOT.  He is actually third this year so far behind:  Joe Sakic and Scott Neidermayer.  Colorado would not be in the 2nd round but for the leadership of Sakic.  This is his team and he shows up every night and leads the charge.  Neidermayer was the best player in the Ducks-Flames series and stabalizes the whole team.  So my top 3 are all out West.  Which means someone from the East will win the Cup.  My pick as of today: New Jersey

It should be Ottawa, but New Jersey could win it too.  Defence wins championships, and I don't think Detroit is good enough to win it.  Defence is a trademark of the Eastern Conference.

The Buffalo Sabres!\n\n\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

Finally???\n\nThey have already won it multiple times.\n\nTonight though, they may prevent Carolina from finally winning themselves a Stanley Cup.
