I mean come on. Big picture people. They do have a lot of talent. I predict the Columbus Blue Jackets to win.

ABSOLUTELY!! I've been thinking that the Blues would make it for about 15 years now . . .

I have to agree with The Mocker on this one. The futures odds on Columbus as of November 30th are currently 50-1 to win the Stanley Cup , down from 85-1 when the season opened. You can still clean up. Atlanta is currently 40-1. This info comes from a well known source here in Vegas.

As a Blue Jacket fan, even I wouldn't put any money on the Jackets winning the Cup (I would love to be proven wrong, though!) I do think they will make the playoffs, and maybe even make it through the first round, but the Cup will have to wait for a year or two.
As for the Thrashers....uhhhh, no.
Ross V...the Jackets don't have any PROVEN VETERAN leadership? Do the names Sergei Federov, Adam Foote, Michael Peca and Fredrik Modin ring a bell? How about Ken Hitchcock?

this is Stretching It, right here is the 411 the main suitable the Jackets can do is #5 in the West the Worst #9 this is an Above favourite group Stanley Cup it may take 3 to 4 Years for that, yet preserving Dreaming they are actually not there yet.

It's okay to THINK about it, but it won't happen.
Columbus does have a lot of talent, but they are young and inexperienced when it comes to the playoffs, they do have some good veteran leadership, but I still don't think it's enough to take them all the way to the Cup. They might make it to the playoffs, but I really don't think they have what it takes to win the Cup this year.
If they both, by some miracle, made it I would root for the Blue Jackets though.

It's fine for you to predict that... but I think most people would call it a short sighted viewpoint. Sure they're playing great, but when was the last time they won a playoff series? When was the last time they won a playoff game?
The reigning champion Ducks took steps each season towards the ultimate prize... learning along the way. If I'm a Blue Jacket fan, my expectations are the playoffs - period. Everything else is just gravy.

I like your thinking. Blue Jackets show alot of heart and with a proven head coach I'm thinking this is the year we make the playoffs. Yes we may get swept in the 1st round but I just want them to make it and see what happens.

The key word is THINK. Yes, you may THINK that one of them will win, but the correct answer is the Anaheim Ducks won the cup for the year 2007!
Ask the question again in 26 days, when it's 2008, you might get a different answer. :)

Thats a tall order. They got to get through the Wings first! I suppose if Leclaire got HOT in the playoffs that it COULD happen. But not likely. Lets face it, experience means a lot in the SC playoffs and Leclaire has NONE!

Its EXTREMELY improbable, but I guess it could happen. You say they have a lot of talent, which they must if they are a pro team, but there are plenty of teams with much more talent than them. I would rank Columbus maybe 10th to 15th in talent, Atlanta maybe 15th to 20th. That's just my opinion though.

Sure it is OK. You are entitled to whatever dillusions you care to scheme. I personally get a lot of help with alcohol. I once dreamt I was the President of Iceland and that I was swimming with puffins in a lake of geo-thermal water.
