Right now, it looks like the Carolina Hurricanes have luck on their side.

Assuming we can get by Ottawa -- and I believe we can -- my proud Buffalo Sabres will win Lord Stanley's Cup and all of WNY (and those of us Sabres fans scattered about the rest of the world) will rejoice forevermore! :)\n\nGO SABRES!!!

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.

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!!!!!

I grew up in Buffalo am now living in Michigan. This would be a dream series  Sabres vs Red Wings.  Wouldn't care who won but if I was a betting person Stanley will establish residency in Detroit.

So with the oil prices going through the roof as a result of hurricanes.......the Oilers are going to win the Stanley cup.  Carolina will be picking up the pieces?  Let Carolina have their 'Canes....Edmonton has the oil and Lord Stanley!!!!!!!\nGO OILERS GO!!!!!

I think that the biggest surprise will be the Edmonton Oilers. They have the talent and the speed to upset any team, They have an excellent blue collar work ethic and with the recent addition of Dwayne Roloson, they have the right ingredients to go a long way in the playoffs.

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 that Buffalo will be able to knock out Carolina and Edmonton will hold on against Anaheim.  If you asked me a week ago, I would've said Edmonton in 5. But because Roloson isn't playing as well as he was before, I'm going to say Buffalo Sabres will win in 6.

I'd love to say the Flyers, but down 2-0, that doesn't look to be the case.\n\nOut of the East- presently you have to look at the match-ups as follows:\n\nTop seed Ottawa losing a close one, not drilled Tampa Bay.  TB no longer with a top rated back stop can be counted out.\n\nWith a 2-0 lead, Montreal holds on against the higher rated Canes with solid goaltending.\n\nThe Devils OWN the series against the Devils\n\nThe Sabres will hold on against the Flyers with their speed.\n\nTherefore- 2nd round match-ups make for:\n\nOttawa versus the lowest remaining seed- Canadians\nand Sabres versus the Devils.\n\nMy pick would be Ottawa and the Devils, with the Devils playoff savvy and defense beating the Sens with a non-top ranked backstop (with Hasek maybe a different story).\n\nNow let's move to the West---\n\nDown 2-1, the Wings will come back against the Oilers.\n\n#2- Dallas looks to be on the outs against the Avs.\n\n#3 Calgary will take the victory up 2-1 against the Ducks\n\nand #5 Sharks will hold on against the Preds.\n\nThat leaves the 2nd round match-ups as...\n\nWings versus Avs- GREAT match-up!  Wings prevail.\n\nCalgary versus the Sharks.  Gotta go with Mikka and the Flames.\n\nThat means a Western Final of Detroit versus Calgary.  Mikka doesn't do it again this year and the Wings march on to get ROMPED by the Devils and Brodeur.\n\nI HATE the Devils!

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

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

The Oilers for sure, they are not an 8th place team. They have just as good a chance as any, especially if they knock off Detroit. Then everyone will jump on the bandwagon.
