Stanley Cup...

[scarleta]

Who do you say will win it this year?
I know its still early , but i think its going to be Detroit...
What do you think?

 

[brazen_irish_hussy]

I think the avalanche. They always seem to win. I swear that is an opinion totally uneffected by the fact I live in Denver!

 

[mimzy]

i am going to second detroit. and i swear that this opinion is TOTALLY effected by the fact that i live in Detroit

 

[star sparkle]

Sharks!

And I admit, that opinion is totally affected by me and FI being season ticket holders.

 

[icekid]

My somewhat nonbiased opinion is the Penguins. I''m from Buffalo (serious Sabres fan) and currently live in Philadelphia (hate the Flyers).

 

[allikatac]

I second the Penguins, but my opinion is probably biased since I live in Pittsburgh!

 

[Lynnie]

Icekid, I live in Philly too! And I hope the Flyers take it! But we here in Philadelphia are used to our sports teams taking a dive

Haha, my brother is a DIEHARD Flyers fan. He bought a case of Zima (yes, Zima) like 15 years ago and vowed that it will be the "celebratory beverage" once the Flyers win the cup.... he still has it

 

[Lynnie]

Just wanted to pop back in here to say:


GO FLYERS!!!

 

[diamondfan]

Lynnie, where in Philly are you? Go Flyers...we know some of the family that owns the team and it has been exciting.

But as you say, Philly fans are used to disappointment. Moving here from L.A. I was stunned at how tough these fans can be! When they love they love you...and when no, you had better leave town!

 

[Lynnie]

diamondfan, your assessment of Philly fans is so true! (and funny!)
I''m up in the northeast - Mayfair (near Cottman and Frankford). Where are you?

 

[Patiently_Waiting]

I would be happy with the Flyers finishing off Montreal and moving to the Eastern Conference finals (most likely against the Pens), although I'll definitely take it if they make it to the Cup finals! And my opinion is a bit biased, as BF and I are Flyers season ticket holders

LET'S GO FLYERS!!!!

ETA: DiamondFan is SO right about Philly fans. I think our goalie Marty Biron sums it up best:

"When things are going good, people want to give you flowers," he said. "When things are going bad, heads up. The vase is coming."

PW, Love how Marty sums it up, so true. I live outside Philly, so am really hoping the Flyers can get to the Cup finals. I was in high school when they won the Stanley cup, oh that was soooo exciting. As teams go in Philly, we are always the bridesmaid, and never the bride. It''s time for us.

Kaleigh - I would love for them to bring the Cup home...this town would go insane! And of course, I''d totally be at the parade we so desperately crave!

That''s so awesome that you got to experience their Cup win before! The only win I semi-experienced was the Phils World Series win in ''80 (I was in elementary school). I agree it is our time!!! Woo hoo!

 

[snowflakeluvr]

i''m a biased pittburgher too...and hope the pens win(but we''re moving to detroit this year so i''m headed to red wing country)

 

[diamondfan]

Lynnie, I live just outside the city in the Main Line. I would love to see one of our teams make it all the way!

Wings will hoist Lord Stanley! Anyone watching the beat-down that the Wings are putting on Colorado right now? They play at an accelerated pace with skill that is unmatched in puck.

Hi - ANOTHERGO FLYERS !!! We were in the middle of wedding planning last week, and visiting the Hotel we are going to have the reception at... And when we were nearing the end of the meeting , my FI had to dash into the lobby and ask someone what the score was. We were going to have dinner there, at Shula''s , but he wouldn''t stay since they did not have the game on ( they did not get ESPN.)

Booooooooo!!!!!! First, I would like to say that Marty will always belong to Buffalo

He will be back someday; I have no doubt. Even though he is gone for now, he remains one of the best-loved Buffalo athletes.

And I am rooting hard for the Canadiens and against the Cryers.. I mean Flyers (but never against Marty hehe). Go Habs!! (3-1 right now

)

 

[Lynnie]

Eastern Conference FINALS, baby!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOOO

Habs look like this --------->

Pennsylvania OWNS The EC! Philly vs Pittsburgh would be so exciting!!

 

[anchor31]

haha... It''s just hilarious to see so much Flyers support here when I''m buried under Canadiens fanatism. Well, was, ''cause they lost yesterday.

It was really weird, people wearing shirts, cars with flags everywhere, "Go Habs Go" and "Go Canadiens Go" written on city buses, ambulances and firefighter trucks, just... weird. I''m not a huge hockey fan and it''s the first time I live in the city while the team is making the series so I found it all very funny. The fans really believed that they were going to make it to the finals, even win the cup! I guess they''re all pretty disappointed now.

Boo Flyers. Hmph. *pouts*

 

[scarleta]

I am also sad that Montreal lost.I still believe in Detroit.

 

[golden]

Being that I am from NJ, I am disappointed the Devils are out........aside from that, I think the Penguins will win it.

Marty is awesome and I hope he''ll stay with us

I can see why he is so loved though.

Sorry to rain on all the Canadiens fans'' parades, but YEAH FLYERS!!! Next step, the Pens! It should be a good series.

Wings are just too big, fast , smart and skilled for Dallas -- the "Big Red Machine" is playing at a different level.

GO WINGS!

 

[scarleta]

Well I was hoping that Dallas would at least win one game.Detroit may just win it in 4.Will see tonight..

 

[lovewhitediamonds]

So.... who will bring Lord Stanley home??? Hopefully the WINGS!
