Who do you want to win the Cup?

[Gene Parmesan]

Nashville...nothing is better on this board than traditionalist tantrums over the cup in a "sunny" place. (Even though Nashville has terrible winter weather).

 

[Tkachuk4MVP]

Caps. I feel like they're the Eastern version of us, a great team unfairly labeled as chokers because of a combination of bad matchups and/or luck. Plus, seeing a toothless OV skating around with the Cup would just be awesome.

 

[Nighthock]

None of the above. Hockey season is over as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Goldenshark]

Lived in Tampa Bay for a year back in 2011-12, definitely my Eastern team, hope they win their second cup, but I think the Rangers are going to do it.

 

[TomasHertlsRooster]

I just want to see new blood win the cup. I don't know about you guys, but seeing Toews and Brown hoist the last 2 cups after they'd already won a few years before was awful. I wanna see a new team and a new fan base get one.

My first choice is Washington. Ovechkin definitely deserves one. After that, I'd be happy with any one of Winnipeg, Nashville, Minnesota, NYI, or Ottawa winning. Past those teams I really don't care as long as it's not Chicago. Unfortunately, I feel like it will be Chicago.

 

[koopdaddy]

Frankly, anyone that isn't Chicago, Anaheim, Detroit, or Pit.

I think it will be the Rangers as they seem to have the depth this year. Id like to see the Caps and Jets/Flames because they knocked out the Kings.

Isles or Caps.

Would be such a good story to see Isles go out on top in their last season in a historic arena.

Also would love to see Ovi win a cup.

 

[T0uGh C0oki3]

As long as they are from the east.

 

[richo]

Blues because they've been in the league since 67 with no cup. Also, like how they play, very hardworking team. They deserve it most.

 

[cleveland408]

The Penguins are my eastern team. MAF has been my favorite goalie for years so I always root for him.

 

[AstroDan]

Want the Wild. It'll be the Penguins

F the Blues, Ducks and Nucks. (Lapierriere, Perry, Bieksa)

 

[SactoShark]

Perds or Jets. And the latter just cuz Winnipeg would go bat **** crazy.

 

[Woo Hockey]

I'd like to see Ottawa win it over the Ducks.

 

[209]

Grew up a Rangers fan...Blueshirts all the way

**** David Backes so **** the Blues.

 

[Nighthock]

The Penguins are my eastern team. MAF has been my favorite goalie for years so I always root for him.

 

[Levie]

I like the Wild. They have good fans and I don't have any problems with their players. They also haven't won one. I would have picked the Isle if not for their dynasty in the '80s

Don't they have Matt Cooke still?

 

[Mafoofoo]

Wild or Caps. Mostly because when I went to Minnesota once everyone was so nice and the Caps because it'd be cool to see Ovechkin win one.

 

[Eighth Fret]

Isles or Preds.

 

[cleveland408]

I take it you don't like the Pens?

 

[Evincar]

Isles, Blues, Preds, Caps, Wild, Bolts or Rangers.

Hate the rest of the teams.

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

Honestly don't care who wins. I would be surprised if I watch any playoffs series religiously. I will be watching some on and off but there is no emotional investment. Hopefully the underdog's win. Wild or Jets maybe?

 

[SactoShark]

Yeah i change my mind. I'd like to see Trotz and Ovenchicken go the distance.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

My first favorite team was the Caps. Lived in Maryland when I was 6 when they came into the league. I can still remember a ton from the old Cap Centre.
