nhl playoffs start this wednesday, so who do you want to win the cup? For me, i am going with New Jersey from the east, and Vancouver from the west. Hopefully, NJD will pull out. Luongo is too inconsistent and nucks will fall if he has a bad game.

Really dont want hawks to win (last thing i want is for the leafs to hold the longest nhl cup drought for an original 6) and detroit (shuldn't match 13 cups of the leafs). Besides these 2 i really dont see any other team having a chance (not balanced enuf). Also, pheonix cant win either, and sjs will choke like they do each year.

Go devils go (although i wont mind pens either).

Jersey or Buffalo in the East, Chicago or Detroit in the West. Overall, Chicago. Kane and Toews are gonna be hard to stop, especially after getting some experience with their run to the semis last year.

Really though, I'd be happy with anyone other than Pittsburgh or Washington winning.

I really wanna choose San Jose but I have a funny feeling that they are gonna get out early this year again like every time. Even though they have literally raped every NHL Team since last three seasons. They just can't handle the playoffs pressure i guess?!?

Pretty sure Joe wants to win the most. Dont think he wants to be known as the No Show Joe after his career is done.

I hope to god Washington doesn't win. I'm all for a Canadian Team Winning!

Stanley needs to come home! its been gone way to long.

I think it'll be a surprise this year... but San Jose does so bad every year though... Joe wants it but his team just breaks down.

habs? ;D

New Jersey's been my favourite team since I was like, 5 or 6. So I go with NJ.

Lets go Devils!

I've been a hawk fan my whole life. So, I'm saying the Blackhawks. I've waited a long time for this to come! GO HAWKS!

Let's go Pens, Repeat wooo!! LOL but if that doesn't happen I'd like to see either the Hawks or Canucks win...even washington, as long as they don't beat the pens in the process.

Also, major lol @ Piotr:

Round 4 Washington Capitals vs. Detroit Red Wings - Wings in 4

no way lol, i knew you'd predict something like that!

Well I WANT the habs to win. But they're going to loose in 6 to the caps.

Last time they met in the finals, that was the outcome

Everyone joining the capitals band wagon.

Crosby and his team can take care of capitals any day.
