sorry to say but no. i'm a flyers fan but esche is inconsistant niittymaki is young and we are very sloppy.\n\n\nTHE FLYERS WILL NEVER WIN THE CUP WITH CLARK STILL THERE!! CLARK WAN'T TO STAY WITH THE BROAD STREET BULLY STYLE WE NEED A NEW GM SOMEONE WILLING TO MAKE CHANGES!!

Sounds GREAT! And we can do it, too! Ottawa is on the ropes awaiting the knockout punch -- and it's coming! Carolina is likely next and we can and will destroy them too! The Stanley Cup Finals will be a mismatch as we can skate with and crush ANY of the Western Conference teams. The beauty of the 2005-06 (and beyond) Buffalo Sabres is that the combination of youth, speed, skill and work ethic is unrivaled in the NHL. This is the winning formula and it means the long-suffering fans of Buffalo are about to experience euphoria when our proud Sabres bring home the Cup!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!\n\nP.S. Does anything top loser Leafs fans trying to mock our successful Sabres when their embarrassment of a team is out on the links? ;)

Agreed about this being the greatest Stanley Cup Playoffs of all time (if not just because we've had to wait two long years for this).\n\nMy Buffalo Sabres will win Lord Stanley's Cup and make a great many long-suffering fans very happy!\n\nGO SABRES!!!

Despite the heated rivalry between our teams, I am surprised that the Senators have not won the Cup or at least made the finals by now. The reasons that you listed above all can be applied to the Flyers (except #6) but the real surprise for me is that the Sens are built for the new NHL while the Flyers are always trying to revive the B. S. Bullies.\n\nSounds like the Ottawa team should consider a makeover instead of a complete rebuilding plan. Alfredsson needs a new team to play for, get a solid goalie (stay away from Esche), and get a coach who has a grasp of how to play within the new rules and take advantage of them.\n\nI'm sure that your team will finish better than mine. That's why I say.....\n\nSNIDER MUST GO !!!!!

sure.\n\nbut even more importantly, do you think Edmonton has a chance at winning the Stanley Cup?

While the goaltending situation has been shaky in Philly, I still think the main struggles of the team lie in the defense.  \n\n-Joni Pitkanen is good but he's made some crucial mistakes late in the game that costed the team at least, 1 shot at a win (Tampa Bay) and his plus/minus is low which is understandable.\n\n-Alexandre Picard may have a future as he does put shots on goal but he does struggle in keeping the puck in the zone.  \n\n-Derian Hatcher has slightly adjusted more but he's still a liability and overpaid.  He's part of the problem.\n\n-Rathje:  See Hatcher\n\n-Freddy Meyer is showing signs of returning to his good play last year but still has fallen off quite a bit.  Still, I'd keep him around based on his great speed.\n\nI still think that Philly will stick with Niity and Esche this year and probably try employing a more pure backup goalie to Niittymaki next year rather than spending money.

I would love to see the Los Angeles Kings win . . . but I don't think that is going to happen.\n\nRangers have a good team with Jager and Lundqvist in Goal . . . but so does the Thrashers with Kovalchuk and Savard.  Thing is the 'Canes have a better team than both . . . \n\nSo in the East . . . I will say the 'Canes.\n\nFor the West . . . that is a tougher picture . . . because all the teams have been really unimpressive to me . . . but from what I observed in games . . . the Red Wings . . . have better teamwork and cohesion.\n\nSo the West will be the Red Wings.\n\nAs for the Stanley Cup . . . I would say it will be close . . . six games . . . . 'Canes.\n\nThey better win . . . because I had money on them before the season started.  Also had money on the Kings too . . . but I know that won't pay off . . . lol

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.

Haha Leafs and the Cup is almost like Cubs and the World Series.\n\nWhen will they win again:\n(1) Fire Ferguson: Pretty sure Ferguson cares more about making money for the owners, then the team winning itself. Remember, the longer the Leafs go without winning, the more sellouts the ACC has, which means more money.\n(2) Build A D: With this offseason and with plenty of cap space, the Leafs really have to build a decent defence. This means not signing another aki berg type player. Get Kaberle's brother in Carolina (Frantisek)?\n(3) Goalie: Well, all Leaf fans know what goes here.

I think they have a chance--everyone does.  I don't want them to win, but it's impossible to predict how well they'll perform. (I think back to my favorite Western Conference Quarterfinals--2003--and everyone said the Wings would run over the Ducks easily and it didn't happen!)

The Buffalo Sabres are the team of destiny. They are a collection of so-called "nobodies" who are setting the hockey world on fire. The Sabres are young, talented, fast-skating, hard-working and best of all, they are a team with a capital T. As you suggested in your comments, they have balanced scoring lines, a solid defense and a red-hot rookie goaltender. I honestly believe they can and will win the Stanley Cup -- and my God, do the long-suffering sports fans of Western New York ever deserve that!\n\nLET'S GO BUF-FA-LO!!!
