Thread: Who Do You Want To Win The Cup?

It will come as no surprise to many of you that I am a "hater".

I'm rooting for the Pittsburgh Penguins out of "love" and "hate".

I loved Dan Bylsma when he was with the Kings and even when he was with the Ducks. I have an autographed game used stick (personalized even) from the Ducks Stanley Cup Finals appearance in 2003 and everything I know about Bylsma makes me think he's the kind of guy who should be rewarded in life.

On the flip side....

**** Hossa.

I would love nothing more than to see a Penguins/Red Wings rematch only to see Hossa lose AGAIN only this time to the team he left in search of a better chance at a Cup.

Go Penguins.

This

If we got a Penguins/ Red Wings repeat, and the Pens lost. I would have to question if the season even existed or if I just thought it did.

Just like almost every season.

By process of elimination, I'll go with the Hurricanes.

The Pens bore me. I don't know why. There's no denying the talent on the roster, obviously, but I just can't get behind them. If they get into the final vs Detroit, though, I'd root for them.

I don't hate Detroit nearly as much as everyone else, but enough already. You knocked out the Ducks, and I am grateful for that, but do you all really need your names on the cup again?

Chicago bothers me (not only because they eliminated the Canucks). I want them to exit in the next round, have an extremely bitter team meeting afterwards and every player demands a trade. I don't want the Kings to face this team in the next few years, they scare me. And yeah, they (Byfuglien) knocked out Vancouver (Luongo).

So go 'Canes, I guess. But let's summarize real quick:

-I wanted the Kings, they didn't make the cut.

-Moved on to Vancouver, looked good but fell short.

-Wanted Washington and that Game 7 didn't go to well.

Sorry 'canes!

Blackhawks. Why? Let them get "their" Cup now so that the urgency is not as great for them when our window opens up.

I know that the same logic applies to Pittsburgh, but I know that I won't be able to bring myself to root for them against a much more likeable Carolina. If they make it into the finals against the Wings, we'll see.

i like pittsburgh because of dan bylsma.

i like the canes because they're the surprise of the post season.

but i voted the hawks because with all that talented youth, i like them best.

Go hawks

I've been a closet Hawks and Dr. Naysay fan for a few years now.

Go Chicago!


I'm not sure how that ex-WNBA player made the team. :(

Go Hawks!
