Wings, who are still too deep a team while Hawks will be dogging the ice on Penguins, Devils, Sharks and Bruins.

Vegas seems to be much smarter than all of us about this stuff and they have the Wings winning the Cup. I'll go with them!!

I don't mind the Pens, they seem like a good team that plays hockey the right way. But no one in their right mind wants to see the goon squad - Sorry! I meant BULLIES - to win. Philly thrives - and has for the last (almost) 40 years by challenging the rules and trying to get away with their DIRTY PLAY. The thought of them winning anything makes real hockey fans physically ill!!!

Its ironic that this comment was made before last nights game between the Flyers and the Penguins - the game where it ended with Mike Richards doing nothing to avoid running into Fleury, Scotty Hartnall biting LeTang's finger, and the new goon on the block Pronger can be seen holding Kunitz off the ice by holding his collar from behind, effectively choking him. Classy play, but justice is served by the final score.

Normally I would say Washington is the hungriest team with the ability to win a Stanley cup which makes their lack of off season moves curious.. I know they signed Mike Knuble, a steady player but he's not going to be the one player that puts them over the hump...
I don't think Washington wins it this year.. Still should be Pittsburgh or Detroit barring injuries but watch Boston... They're going to have a great team shortly...

As a lifelong Wings fan, I'm (obviously) pulling for Detroit.
But I'm betting on Chicago.

The Capitals picked up some defense and have arguably the best minor leaguers in Hockey. Expect a strong season with possibly a Stanley Cup finals for them. But even as a die hard Caps fan, i think we lose to Detroit, 4-2 in the finals. Maybe we will rebound like Pittsburgh and win next year...
Go with Vegas's pick, Detroit truly is way to deep.

Detroit or Chicago are my fist picks. Detroit's defense and goal are weak, so I'm concerned.
I hope not Pittsburg and snot nosed Sid. Love the Steelers, hate the Pens with Crosby.
I'd love to see the young Avs grab some attention and build momentum, but they're short on experience and maturity now.

The wings have many of the types of players that make even the average players seem better than they might be and there ability to build each year they lose key players is amazing with good netminding and decent defense they have the ability to reach the finals any given year and this year is no different if i,m not mistaken the wings are at minimum one of the top 2 teams in any sport with a winning average over the past 20 years

I would love to see New Jersey win the cup, but I think the Devils made too many changes this year and they need to start playing another goalie and stop counting on Broeduer so much.....he's getting old and washed up.....we need new blood out there(clemenson did a fine job last season)
{"commentId":10303513,"authorDomain":"shedevil66"}
I also would love to see the Devils take the cup but the changes have made the team start all over again. We definitly need new blood in the crease, Clemmemsen most certainly should have stayed, he saved us last year and his thanks was goodby!!

It will be hard to repeat (just ask Detroit), but the Pens appear to be a better team than the other choices. Until the win against St. Louis, the Pens weren't even playing their best hockey, and they were still winning. That can't be said of the other teams so far; and it the mark of a good team that it can win even when not playing at its best. I don't think the loss of Gonchar will hurt as much this year as it did last year - there is more depth and some pretty good options on the defense this year to help the power play.

Yeah Stu(pid) Barnes... The Pen(n?)s suck. That certainly explains the hardware they won last season, the 7 game winning streak, the 9-1-0 record & the league leading 18 points so far this season. The Pens just can't compare to the fascinating Crapitals that have only 2 players that are actually good, while the rest of the team stands by and waits for Ovetchkin to cripple the other teams players with a slew-foot, an intentional knee on knee hit or some other dirty play so the rest of the other Crapitals can try to stay on their skates and play the game.
The only thing that sucks Stu, is to be jealous of such a great team like the Penguins. Maybe some day you'll understand hockey, then maybe (and I emphasis maybe) you will have something intelligent to add to the conversation.
I say Pens again this year, but downing Colorado... No offense Wings, they just seem to be struggling a bit trying to get their lines clicking.

Wow, grown up comment "Nick". "Crapitals"? The Penguins have some of the most talented players in the NHL, but will never have a true team dynasty until they stop drooling and panting over "Sid the Kid", and start recognizing Malkin for the talent he is.

Penguins suck as much as the Phillies and Steelers: they suck NOT! The only thing that sucks is jealousy toward these classy franchises. By the way: I am not a fan of any of these Pennsylvania teams, but respect them for the winners they are.

Exactly... That's a true sports fan. Now, on the other hand, the Pirates really do suck.

Hey, could the Aves pull it off? Before the season started, I figured this would be a long, hard season. They are still considered a long shot, but, hey, maybe it's possible!

The Pens have a young and cocky team. Defending their championship is harder than winning it. Everyone is out to take it away so it puts a lot of pressure on a team that is young to defend it all year long. With young egos that constant pressure to defend their cup will take it's toll by the playoffs. Detroit has a seasoned team that basically lost Stanly by a point or two. They're lying low until the new guys are broken in and steadily pace themselves to playoff. They're the team with the least amount of pressure, they're a proven team and they don't have a championship to defend. While everyone else is chipping away at the Pens, the Wings will move in when no one is expecting them to while eveyone else is distracting the Pens. Guarantee the Wings won't come home without Stanley again!
