so who do you think

[Teachey]

I want the devils to make it to the Stanley Cup but I want Phoenix to win the Stanley Cup. Fuck LA and NY.

I picked the Rangers over the Devils but imo it could go either way. Both teams have all their lines clicking and the physicality will be awesome to see. Also Phoniex sucks I mean who puts a hockey team in a desert

[Mamora BAR]

ill have to go with LA. Would b e interesting to see New York vs LA thing going on. hehe

I think at this point it is a toss up between the Rangers and Devils.

[Parker 1st MRB]

Rangers are overall better than the Devils which is why I give them the edge. On the other hand, you never know what could happen in sports.

[Englebretson 1st MRB]

The Rangers seem a bit sluggish to me and knowing their track record that doesnt speak positives.

[G. Wilson]

It's the King's year. 5 reasons why:

5) They are rolling 4 lines and getting solid, two-way play from each

4) The King and Lewis: King alone had 4 goals in the PHX series and they are forcing mistakes with their physical play

3) Dustin Brown: leading by example with physical play, energy, and smart passes in all 3 zones

3) Their PK is phenomenal. They have 5 SH goals this post season and perpetually drive the puck outside by clogging up passing lanes. They do only have 6 PP goals and that may end up being their Achilles heel.

2) They have 3 pairs of defense that limit the other team to one-and-done chances by keeping the crease clear and pouncing on rebounds to clear them out of scoring zones.

1) Jonathan Quick. I don't care who is in the other goal; if you've got Quick you've got a shot at winning. Puck tracking, athleticism, lateral movement, positioning, he's got everything. His only weakness is allowing rebounds off the boards to sneak in behind him because of his Tim Thomas-esqu super challenging of shots. But with the defense he's got that's not a real issue.

That's my take.

I really hope Parise gets that fucking ring so he wont feel he needs to stay in lame NJ

[Englebretson 1st MRB]
