in the west it will be Detroit I think. As much as I love my Canucks, they lack Detroit's experience and Chicago's mettle. San Jose's always a dark horse but they can't win it all with Thorton and Heatley, imo.

nah san jose always choke
id say canucks take it to western final only to get beaten by detroit
theyre generated alot of buzz regardless of the lack of playoff exp

West : Vancouver because of the twins/kesler/luango they added some very solid D during the summer and they have a very solid team for the playoffs
East : Phillie, such a stacked team with so many good centers. BUT I'd bet on two other teams. Washington will go a long way and I truly believe that they can beat phillie. They have better talent and they actually learned how to play D.
And Cinderalla team pick : 514-MTL :). If Price decides to play to his 110% he can bring us further then Halak.

i wonder if the NHL will issue a warning to the Bruins. I'm all for old time hockey and some grit...but at the end of the game it was exaggerated and bad for the sport....Jacques Martin is an idiot though....why was Pleks on the ice in the final minute vs the goon line? Bad coaching 101.
it is official: Scott Gomez is a useless piece of that doesn't care about anything other than a paycheck...he needs the Wade Redden treatment. They really should send him to the minors to ride the bus for a week or 2.
Lars Eller? How can the Habs let him have so many games in the NHL when he needs some more minor experience. I get they have to justify to the fans because of the Halak trade...but Carey has shut them up...call up a guy that can at least bring something to us like a bit of grit.

gomez is terrible. i agree completely. he's -14! lolllll
i also agree about eller. he just doesn't belong in the nhl at this point in time.

it is too soon to say anything about Eller except that he is not NHL ready yet. It isn't his fault he got traded for Halak, so he shouldn't have to pay for being inserted into a lineup in which he has no place in...at least not yet...we will see in 2 or 3 years.
he looks like he is 15! never mind growing a playoff beard, i am having doubts that his pubic hair has grown yet! a boy cannot play a mans sport.

im annoyed @ subban and Gill for not killing Lucic when he hit Price. That should've been a green light on the spot.
Zyklon_Jay
Subban was told he is not allowed to fight. JM has him on a very short leash. Gill? Really? The guy couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. Being big =/= able to fight.
I'm not impressed against the Isles. We need wins against bottom feeders...
Zyklon_Jay
this is why gill doesn't fight. he has also gotten his ass kicked multiple times against way smaller guys.
