Have to say, on paper, it's got to be Buffalo. Four players with over 30 goals in the regular season. And EVERY team that's gone into the playoffs with 4 or more players over 30 have won. Add in solid goaltending (not stellar, but the last three games have been impressive) with their speed and depth, the fact that they won the President's Cup and just dominated the East all season, AND their willingness to take the body shot to clock the puck, and you've got the makings of a championship team.
As for the west. Have to go with the Ducks. SJ should be good to finish off Detroit (who's record was inflated by being in a sucky division) and then we'll see a real good matchup for the West title.

New Jersey- you won't be able to flow incorrect with Martin Brodeur. Danis is an rather risk-free backup. After finding out to purchase Kovalchuk they have 2 celebrity left-wingers (Parise). they're perennially on the excellent of the standings and that they get the main out of their gamers. would be significantly better with Paul Martin back in the lineup. Ottawa won't win, their goalies are shaky and their group is well-known at perfect. Overachieved as much as this element. vulnerable D exterior of Phillips and Volchenkov. Pittsburgh- in no way count quantity this group out. Kunitz has been injured and Fleury hasn't been enjoying as much as par, yet they're going to %. it up. Crosby, Malkin, Staal=their centers so as of traces. Philadelphia- they have an excellent lineup that has each and every thing-aside from a valid no.a million goaltender. as quickly as Ray Emery returns, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, issues may be distinctive, yet while they get carry of even a first rate starter they have a reliable shot. Boston- Many adult males underachieving and Marc Savard injured, yet I nevertheless have self assurance this group could make a reliable run. they have too a lot intensity to be enjoying this badly. Vancouver- The Sedins have shown why they're excellent-line gamers. they have a very underrated center of gamers who're somewhat versatile in Burrows, Kesler, and Raymond. Their defence lacks a real celebrity yet is rather sturdy regardless of the reality that and Luongo will constantly supply them a huge gamble to win. Calgary- on the commencing up of the season, I mentioned that they did not have reliable adequate forward intensity. Now they have replaced that, finding out to purchase numerous reliable gamers and leaving them with a lot of it of their excellent traces. i think of that finding out to purchase and merchandising Phaneuf became right into a reliable theory, yet they have been given some thing that they actually mandatory. Jokinen in no way gelled with Iginla and that they've been given some superb help in the commerce. Kipru will back constantly supply them a huge gamble. Detroit- back, do not count quantity this group out. they have too a lot celebrity-skill to lose. the only reason they're so low in the standings is as a results of the fact they have had maximum of injuries. With their key adult males from previous seasons getting older extraordinarily, they might use a commerce for better checkers.

I'm going with either Sharks, Ducks in the West and either Sabers, Senators in the East.
Can't make up my mind because I can't watch any of the games because I don't have the Versus Channel!
