Might be crazy, but my "out on a limb" pick is going to be the Penguins.
I think they are going to be this years Sabres of last season.

Sabres, they retained most of their players and should pick up where they left off last season.  This could be the year!!

Would've loved to see them keep thornburn, we need some grit in the corners to replace grier.  He and Mckee will be sorely missed obviously. It was entertaining to watch thornburn, mair, and peters during the pittsburg game lol. Although they had peters drop some weight this off season to try and help switch his role a little bit. So he might not be the big goofy bruiser he was last year.

Man, you seemed nuts back in October.  Now, it's a possibility.  They aren't a lock - or even the favorite - but it's not out of the question. ;D

It'd almost be a shame for a guy like Crosby to win a cup  his first season. It'd take the luster of pursuing it thru your career away i would think. Like teh sabres..........the thing that makes it so exciting, is the fact that they have never won. lol.........Im just kidding, in a way, but think about it..........coming into the league, young as he is, rippin up the league in every way, put on a pedestal, win the cup........pretty much blow your wad the first season in the league. What do your goals and xpectations become from there? Just food for discussion i guess. Go Sabres.........then go Pens

As long as nothing stupid happens, that kid will be a legend. With the enforcement the penguins just acquired, they will be contenders.

GO CANUCKS!!! I'm a traitor I know, but Luongo has to take us there!! I can't take the heartbreak anymore! :'(

Not to split hairs, but this is Crosby's second season. 
And if they won this year WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO!
What could he go for the rest of his career?
Five cups in seven years like Edmonton!!!!  WOOOOOHOOOOOOOO!
Or four in a row like the Isles!!!! WOOOOOOHOOOOO!

I'm picking the Red Wings IF big Bert gets healthy and plays, otherwise, you gotta like the predators for it.

On that Crosby thing, I agree that it would be a shame to see him win it so young, you gotta pay your dues first. Look how long it took Lemieux! Even Gretzky or Howe didn't win it right away. Or Peyton Manning for that matter, it's more fun to see 'em climb the mountain than just get there.

As a Pens fan - if I was given the choice of winning one now or waiting 5 years, I say win it now.  You can't worry about the second one until you get the first!!!

I have no remorse over the fact that Roethlisberger won the SB in his second season.

You would feel the same way about your team - or you are lying!!! ;D

Haha. Classic Yank. :rotflol: That's OK. I look at the team roster and go, YEP, yankee team won the cup, but they did it with 15 or more Canadain players. Haha.
Win an international event and then start talking to me.

The only team that can claim that their players are indigenous to the area they represent are Le' Habitant.
And i think that concept was thrown to the wayside quite a while ago? Dunno......all i know is if anyone can be accused of hanging on to ancient history, its the Habs lol.

On Oct 4, 2006, I picked the Sabres.  They have positioned theirselves well heading into the last few games of the regular season.  If the playoffs started now , they would be playing the Canadians.  Bring it on!!!!

The Sabres look really good this year but I'm hoping the Devils (!4 Americans on the roster) do it again.

Why would the Devils fire their coach today?  ??? ???  Seems like an odd time, right before the playoffs.  ??? ???

calgary or toronto(if they make it)

never know when iginal or phaneuf get on a big roll.  what other teams captain will fight?  what other team has a defencemen that can shot, hit, fight and stand his ground?  none. 

crosby is gonna get his head knocked off one of these days and i will be cheering that it happened.  hes a show boat and i hate watching him play.  i wouldnt even watch the toronto vs pens last saturday on cbc.  wow you have 117 points but you cant do anything else.

nashville will get close cause of tootoo.  hes a beast and everyones afraid of him.  i think he actually scored some goals this year too.

Unfortunately, YES.
They need a huge rebound in their play. Still can happen. Looks a little bleak. Almost like they peaked months ago.
