Cup Favourites

[TimKerr]

Crosby and many of the Pens players have been practicing together in Pittsburgh for a while now, that combined with Malkin absolutely destroying the KHL makes them the favourites for me.

I actually agree with this, except does everyone remember the disaster that Fleury was in the playoffs last year? He has to really step up his game or the Pens are going to be in trouble. They are an awesome team but even they couldn't deal with 6 goals against in the playoffs.

Pens have one of, if not, the best backups in Vokoun. I'm not worried.

Flyers in 7.

I think you forgot a "th" at the end of your sentence.

I'll take 7th, at least we'll be in the playoffs. 'rim shot'

Plus, the shortened season can only help Bryzgalov. He is streaky as it is, so he only has to get hot for about 30 games this season.

Any news on Pronger?  Will he play or is his career looking more-or-less over?  Philly's forwards are great. Their defense is weak without Pronger.

He's toast, about as likely to make a comeback as Marc Savard

I really like the Rangers at this point. Looks like Gary might get his dream final with NY vs. LA.

i'll say kings/pens finals.

If Luongo gets traded here it'll be Toronto/Vancouver with heavy drama.  Will Luongo choke?  Will he show up his old city? 

A riot will ensue in Vancouver regardless of the outcome.

May I dream a little?
Leafs/Kings
Leafs/Pens

Seriously...
L.A. & NYRangers
L.A. & Pittsburgh

Rangers & Islanders meet in a playoff matchup.  Wouldn't expected Isles to win though.
