Who do you think will win the cup?

[mulecrazy]

Like the title says. Its not who you are cheering for, but who do you think will win lord stanleys mug?

My vote is for the nuckleheads. I hate them, and will be cheering for the bruins. However, with the inconsistent play against the bolts, I just can't see them besting the nucks.

[Tundra Monkey]

I'm in the same boat as you Mulecrazy.

Seriously I am a diehard hockey fan ..and I would rather watch Soccer than this series...the season is over for me..

[blackpheasant]

It's going to be a great series...NUCKS have the edge with a great Power play...Nucks in 7....Go NUCKsssss

[Bassett]

Nucks will take it for sure.

[pottymouth]

More Canadians on the Bee's. Lucic having his home coming since junior will be huge. Thomas is a way better goalie than luigi who looks more like the whale out water on his jersey.

Chara will contain Kesler who might just win the con smythe, and the 2 red headed step children won't even be a concern after gm 1 ( which the Bee's will lose)

I'll take the Bee's in 6 in O.T .

Thomas 2011 playoff stats show a 2.29 gaa and .929 save %
Loungo 2011 playoff stats show a 2.29 gaa and .922 save %

That is about as close to equal as you can get.

I know those stats, but I think that Thomas has had to make alot more quality saves. the canucks haven't been overly pressured and hit as hard as their gonna be hit.... I'm betting that the difference will be in the D and goalie, and I'll give the edge to the Bee's

[Ruger1022]

Ill take the Jets in 5 games!!, as someone stated in an earlier post "the season is done for me!!"

Hmmmm So if Lou has not had to make as many quality saves as Thomas.........

Vancouvers defense cant be so bad

[TreeGuy]

Could be a long 'swing' series. I'll give the edge to the 'Nucks though.

The Bruins have no PP and if they couldn't stop Tampa on the few one's they got, they are dead meat against a more talented team that moves the puck better. (And dives better as well......lol)

The cup will be decided upon goaltending and special teams.

Tough to bet against that stupid Olympic thing though. 'Nucks in 7. OT to boot.....why not?

Go Flames go

Nope. GWW likes to toke up on Friday nights, so I actually believe he's leading with his azz while looking backward to the spring of '89..........with rainbows. Not trout. Just rainbows.

Maybe..... or They got lucky and squeeked one by CHI, then they played an offensively challenged Nas, and finally they played a older tired SJ.

This will be the first team they play with youth, size and scoring punch, with a goalie that can single handedly win a game on his own.......plus a solid D

Should be a great final

I have been a huge Vancouver fan for a very long time but I would not put a large bet on either team in this one.

[fordtruckin]

I'd say my vote goest for Boston but last time I made mention of my prediction I was pm'd that was the stupidest post put on AO, that I was jealous of sucess and how I was "a little slow and wet behind the ears" for driving a Ford. And I thought that this was a place you could freely express your "Opinions" without being judged...

[pickrel pat]

if the reffs are calling everything the edge goes to nucks, if they dont call anything, could go either way, last nights game 7 was unreal quality hockey, great to watch, reffs never called anything!

X2, the bruins are hungry, been a long time (1972), then again a little longer for the canuks the poll is at a dead tie right now.

[blackmamba]

boston all the way , this is the round that louie lays the golden egg !!

[hunter10]

If the bruins played like they did last night, I think we got it!!

Luongo seems a tad sketchy in my opinion.

I agree with you. I cant understand how some can say Boston is Canadian because they have Canadian players. Then criticize Luongo who is actually Canadian.

[pogo]

Canucks. Just for all you wound lickers. Especially Kannonfudder.

I just hate Chara. I hope Bieksa slap-shoots him in the face like 6 times.

I dunno. He'll need his sand wedge to get the puck up that high that quick!
