The Chicago Blackhawks will beat the Leafs in game 7 of the finals in Toronto to win the championship.
I will therefore win a bet with my gal Melrose who loves the Leafs and earn the right to have her do me at center ice later in the night after everyone has left the building.

Pittsburgh Penguins
Crosby is beating out Martin St. Louis, Lecavier, and Ovechkin by 7 points, and hes played 5 less games. Staal leads the league in Shorthanded points, Malkin set records within his first 10 games, Recchi has the experience (was with Carolina for the second half of last year, then came back), Malone goes off occasionaly and has that beautiful goal, and Fleury is improving
They are all young except for Recchi, but hes not even 30 yet so expect them to win within the next few years if not this year

I knew its a pain in the *** for toronto fans to face reality- but Buffalo will win this year. a healthy buffalo team is unstoppable in a 4 game series. Toronto wont even MAKE the playoffs. screw nashville and thrashers buffalo beat BOTH of those teams at least once this season and buffalo only lost once to thrashers so far.
By the way- Buffalo is the second best team in the league nashville only has 1 more point.

Anaheim over Buffalo in the finals, although none of these teams would surprise me too much: Dallas, Nashville, New Jersey, Calgary, San Jose, Detroit.
Anaheim has everything cup winners need: a playoff-tested goalie, an excellent defenseman (2 actually!) who can play a lot of ice time and carry the puck, and balanced scoring.

I would like to see the Vancouver Canucks win, but that is more than unlikely?
The team I think which will win are the the expansion team Anaheim Ducks,they have a lot of fire power. It is unseen to the normal fans, but as a scout they have a god chance......

The Buffalo Sabres. This is their year. They have such a young and talented team. This shows with the dibocle of the Bruins last night. They have a bunch of experienced players such as Chris Drury and Danny Breire, they have many amazing stars such as Vanek, Afenagenov, and Miller. And this is their year. They have led in the eastern confrence since the get go and havent stopped. They are an incredible team with Amazing talent. LETS GO BUFFALO

the devils..we may have started out having not suv=ch a good season but now were on fire, we have marty brodeur, were the number 1 defense in the league, were good at coming back from behind(like if were down 1-0 in the third..we usually win), were one of the best in OT and shootouts, were just on fire!! 8-1-1 in the last 10...LET'S GO DEVILS!

The Penguins because the Stanley Cup will be fixed to give it to them. No I don't really believe that but I can dream. Well not so much that it is fixed but that just seems to be their best chance. I say the Ducks and the Devils play. I really don't have a reason for that pick but wait and see and if it happens you can thank me for helping you.

I don't know who will win it, but it WILL come down to the Thrashers and Predators. Two solid teams. Write it down, it will happen this year. No other team can stop these two. Before you say anything about the sabres and the ducks you should know that they will choke in the playoffs, as usaul. P.S. Go home bandwagoners!

Buffalo. I think their balanced scoring and team speed, combined with the experience they gained from last years near miss, along with Miller's continued improvement in the goal, will make them very hard to beat. If Hasek stays healthy, I think Detroit will win the west. Based on his age and history, I'm picking the Ducks.

If you mean the Stanley Cup I think it will be the Leafs. Look at last season. The teams that are not predicted to win make it to the finals and 1 wins. I predict Toronto and Calgary final and Toronto to win in 7.
