Title: Stanley Cup predictions...
Post by: gilshem ironstone on May 11, 2007, 12:23:45 PM: It is down to the final four: Detroit Red Wings, Anaheim Ducks, Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres...

Who will win the greatest trophy in sport? Who will survive the marathon that is the Stanley Cup playoffs? Who is your team and why? Why are they going to beat my Ottawa Senators? Or are they?

LET'S GO RED WINGS!8)

Might not matter if their offense keeps playing the way they do, but against Anaheim I think it may be crucial.

Hasek saved then tonight, exactly why he was brought to the team, and at 42 to boot! Ultimately though, Detroit will have to play better to get out of this series alive. I don't know who to pick in the West right now. In my heart of hearts I want a Detroit vs. Ottawa final, because it would make the most intriguing story... and I am a dire hard Senators fan.

So go Red Wings! (Until the Cup Final) :)

Scifi, I hope that Ottawa gets a chance to prove that getting rid of Hasek was a good thing.

Post by: gilshem ironstone on May 14, 2007, 03:51:15 PM: I do have to be realistic about my expectations as a fan of one of the biggest choking teams in recent memory (Not worse than the '86 Red Sox though). If they win tonight, I am pretty certain they will go to the Cup final, after that, I want to see how they respond against a team as tough as the Ducks, who have looked better than Detroit in both games. Should be a good final though, perhaps one of the most competitive in years. (No disprespect to Edmonton or Calgary intended).
