Poll question: Stanley Cup Predictions: Flyers vs. Blackhawks. Who will win
BTW, if you vote for Chicago I hope some undiscovered rash covers your wee-wee!

1. As a native Detroiter
I have to go for a member of the original six. Not one of those expansion teams :toast:

10. Completely agree!
I was hoping for a Final Four of all Original Six teams, so we'd be guaranteed a winner. Then I was really hoping Boston or Montreal would pull it off. Since they didn't - go Blackhawks!!!!

(I have an Original Six sweatshirt, and an Original Six hat, and it's really fun to wear them around Canucks fans).

2. Philly limped in on a last game overtime shoot out.
Chicago has been the cream of the league all year. But,you never know in a 7 game playoff what can happen. Hot goalie,hot goal scorer,major injury.

18. True, but they sure as hell weren't limping in the playoffs
Just ask a stunned Bruin or Hab

21. Bruins and Habs were weak sisters in a weak division.
But,in 7 games anything can,and usually does happen.

23. I bow to thy Cunuck-ness
and assume you have a superior knowledge of all things hockey. Seriously.

I haven't been all that up on the Flyers since, uh, 1974 and the Broad Street Bullies. Except to know that they had a very bad regular season this year, with all sorts of problems and injuries. They also had a very strong post season, weak sisters or not.

25. Flyers can win,this,don't get me wrong.
They got this far with Carter missing a lot of playoff games. I watch hockey a lot,tis true but claim no insight.

3. As a fellow goalie...
I think Michael Leighton has the obvious "cool looking gear" advantage:

7. Playoffs are an entirely new season of Hockey and Flyers are the hottest team out there
Of course I think after that come from behind 0-3 turnaround there is alot of luck there too and I hope that the luck train isn't anywhere near the end of the trail.

28. The Hawks are hotter
They were down in games 1-2 to Nashville in their first series. Down a goal in the final minutes of game 4 facing a possible elimination game in Nashville. Hossa gets a 5 minute major and they score shorthanded with 15 seconds left on the clock to sent it to OT. In OT they kill off the last 3 minutes of the penalty and then score to win it. Including that game they have gone 11-2 since, including a sweep of the conference point leader San Jose.

4. So far this week, you've wished a maggotty brain and now
a rash on my wee-wee (va-jay-jay??).

I'm beginning to think you don't like me.

14. Here come the Hawks, the mighty Blackhawks.
The Hawks just defeated a very good San Jose team and held them to seven goals over four games. They have a mixture of veteran leadership and youthful enthusiasm. I think they have more raw talent on the ice than any other team. And it is possible for these Hawks to completely self-destruct at times; it is possible the Flyers will win in four. It is also possible the Hawks will win in four.

I think the Hawks will win in six, and end an almost fifty year drought. We'll be drinking Goose Island from Lord Stanley's Cup in just a couple weeks.

29. You and me both
As a Ranger fan on the line of demarcation between Flyer country and Rangerville, I'm rooting for the Blackhawks.

16. Chicago!! What sport is that, anyway? Sounds like Boxcar Derby?
Anyway, there's this rash on my, um, hockey stick, so I had to pick Chicago.

24. Flyers in six.
Why? Because with the exception of the Toronto Maple Leafs, there's no team I hate more in professional sports. Not even Ottawa.
