Who takes the cup?

Post by **philou21** » Tue Sep 29, 2009 11:10 pm

Honestly i don't think a Canadian team will win the cup this year.....again. But i think it's the first time since a couple of year that maybe all the Canadian team will MAYBE be able to get a playoff spot.

The Sens will be better, they are already better without Heatley. Toronto, if they make the playoff, it will be at the 8 spot and certainly will have their playoff spot within the last 4-5 game of the season. Calgary and Vancouver can make it again like last year, as the Canadien. Edmonton just miss the playoff by what, 4 points last year? With some players that improve with the last season they can get the 8 spot.

This is just speculation, i'm not saying this will happen, but i think we got a chance to see that.

Only Canadian teams in the playoffs:

Vancouver, Calgary, the smurfs in 8th by 1 point over the Laffs and Sens

van and Cal put up a fight but both lose to the Ducks.

You seem pretty confident about the Ducks Batdad.

Is this a joke like the Getzlaf stuff in the other thread.

No comment.

Actually I do kind of think the Ducks have a good shot. They are the only team in the NHL that can lose their #1 goalie and still have a solid solid G behind him. Plus I really like their top 2 lines, and line 3 and 4 are pretty tough.

But yeah, having some fun with Getz too.

It maybe a joke but with Bobby Ryan more talented than ever, they would put up great numbers! I'm sure Getzlaf could beat the 100 points marks but i don't think he would be the top point leader of this season, but top 5 isn't so far away....

Getzlaf won't get 100 points. 90 maybe ,but not 100.

100... Mark my words...

40 goals, 60 assists...seems reasonable for Getzlaf. He's playing with Perry and Ryan so just toss the puck somewhere and they'll put it in the net

99 at best

Well, since I've been gone for a bit I suppose I'll have to be an ass and bump this a bit just to post my predictions.

I think it is now or not in another 15 years for Chicago, considering the cap troubles they will have in this summer and the next one, I also like the team they have right now so I think they will reach the finals.

I think Washington will take the other place in the finals, can't think of any other team in the league that is likely to have 3 players reach 100 points in the regular season. A bit weak on D and their goaltending with Varlamov and Theodore is a question mark but I think they might just make it there by following the "one more goal" approach.

Who of those two teams would win the cup? Heart says Blackhawks, so I'll have to go for that.

My prediction is the Sharks in seven against Chicago

Do you expect San Jose or Chicago to be moved to eastern conference?
