NHL Stanley Cup Picks

<---My dream finals...


Boston vs Vancouver





(I said dream!)

 

[mugs]

I want the Devils to win it again, but I'm not sure about their chances without Stevens. They have played noticably worse since he's been on IR.

I'd like anyone BUT the Avalanche or the Flyers to win. If not the Devils, my preference would be Boston.

Keep dreaming buddy. Tdot (and Ottawa for that matter) choke every year, Mtl is bringing the cup home where it belongs

As much as I'd like the habs to go all the way, if Raycroft can play in the playoffs like he's played in the season Boston is going to be a tough team to beat.

hehe. dont hate cause we're better than you!

my only worry is i wish that they had upgraded the blue line a little bit more defensively at the trade deadline. the d has been solid all season, but is nowhere as deep and talented as the forwards. but of course the best defence is good offence right the top 3 toronto lines are tough to handle. i mean, ALEX MOGILNY (albeit post injury) is on our third line. and the skyline is impossible to stop, just take a look at yesterdays game.

mtl and ottawa, prepare to lose!

Lookin like you guys are playing Ottawa. The B's have a 3-0 lead on the Devils with about 15:00 minutes left in the game. If they hang on, Toronto will be officially bumped out of 2nd, and the B's will wrap up the division.

Ottawa vs Toronto will be awesome!

lets make it... what, 4 years in a row? its becoming an annual tradition type thing. look for Ponikarovsky-Nieuwendyk-Antropov to dominate this series. they will be stopped only if the sens successfully clone chara...

Ottawa and TO in the first round...... Again.....

That's too bad, b/c I think Ott and TO both had a good chance of going far, so it would have been better to see them play different teams. Oh well.

W00t! My B's win the division, and the 2nd seed.

Toronto and Ottawa will be awesome, and that was inevitable...the NE Division is just too strong...it was bound to happen.

Go B's!!!!

[dragonballgtz]

Red Wings will win the Stanley Cup.

 

[AntaresVI]

Wow. No love for Philly. If they can get Esche playing his best again, they can play at least even with anyone, and decisively better than most.

Oh wait...maybe you have been watching Devils vs Minnesota trap fests....

Edit:

In reading your post again....I think I mis-read. Sorry.

Sounds like you don't watch hockey, the Devil's dont trap. And the Bruins are just as guilty of any defensive schemes in this league then anyone.

I think the winner of the Philly/NJ Series is going to represent the East this year. The west is never clear cut, just look at Anaheim making it last year.

You think they can beat Toronto in the first round? I just don't see it happening unless Belfour's back acts up and they have to play Kidd.


Muuuuuuuch better chance of the B's moving on to the second round...

Exactly. Peter Bondra is Mr. Capital. He took less money to stay 3 years ago and he genuinely didn't want to leave when they sent him. He has a lot of respect for the team that drafted him 156th overall. Don't see too many players like that these days... I would cry for him if he got his SC.

Don't watch hockey?!?! I have been a Bruins fan for more than 10 years, have season tickets the last three years to the local AHL team (Manchester), and I can count the B's games I've missed this year on one hand. But..whatever. The Devils don't trap?? Are you sure about that? Granted, they don't quite do the trap fest they did under Lemairre, but playing under Pat Burns, it's trap and defense first.

When Burns coached the B's he had us play the trap. Also, the B's do have defensive schemes, but they don't play that type of game where they get the lead, keep 5 men back, and ice the puck at the slightest hint of danger. I can see where we might have a difference of opinion on this, but to say the Devils don't trap is plain wrong...IMO of course.
