Pitt and St Louis. Been a Pens fan since I was a kid and the Blues are such a great story this year. Hard not to like them

The underestimation of Mr. Jaroslav Halak is unreal on these boards (main and everywhere else), am I the only one who remember his clutch play in the playoff in montreal? Blues FTW!

Hoping for penguins/sens on the east.
as for the west...I'd like to see Chicago, with the penguins/sens winning the cup.

Ottawa, then Pittsburg (i want another iconic team)
Vancouver.. St Lou? Nashville? Mind you, it might be good if Nashville lost in the 1st round and possibly increasing the odds of Weber pulling the pin on that franchise.

Pittsburgh will probably take it, if they can dominate without Crosby.......they can win the cup with him.

I think Elliott gets the nod in game #1, he is the hot hand. (3 straight shut-outs against playoff teams to close out his games in March)

Buffalo! (If they squeeze in) I love how all their fans watch the game's outside.

In the West I'll take ABC. (Anybody But Vancouver)

Detroit in the West - that way I wont ever be mad at the refs for blowing calls.

Definite NO to the Kings. I hope Lombardi loses his job.

Florida in the East if Vancouver loses int he first round. If Vancouver wins in the first round I want one of Boston, Philly or Pittsburgh to be the East champs, so they can beat Vancouver if they make it to the SCF.

Whoever comes out of the Ott-Bos series and the Blues, I love the way they built their team and how they've turned it around since Hitchcock took over.

Cheering for Ottawa and L.A. and feel the Pens will win it all, assuming Crosby stays healthy.

exact same responses as calgary fans. whats with Alberta?

personally, i look at things differently. i look at it as BC and Alberta against the east. we are the reason why canada is the economic global icon that it is.

i guess a lot of it has to do with jealousy of the franchise state, city aesthetics etc. but realistically, we share what makes the west > all.

Sorry as an Albertan I couldn't care less about this fact (essentially we lucked out and have oil), even less so when it comes to cheering for sports teams.

It's the team and the Vancouver fanbase everyone hates. I don't recall nearly as much vitriol directed towards the Linden/Bure/Ronning Canucks teams.

If people hated franchises they were jealous of, Detroit and Pittsburgh would be reviled. They are not.

If Albertans loved Vancouver so much they would move there. They don't. The population flows in the opposite direction (it turns out people value the ability to make a decent living more highly than aesthetics).

I can give you a reason why I hate every team. Hence, I do not know who I hate slightly less until I am watching a game and the first goal is scored.

That said, my hatred for all allows the ranking to change in the midst of a game or series.

Ottawa in the east. Phoenix in the west because I actually go to their games when I go down and I already bought playoff tickets lol.

Oh, and anybody playing Vancouver.
