Stanley Cup predictions


Sens in 6 - overhand_right
"I think Emery is going to stay on fire... J.S. is going to steal a game or two, but won't stay consistent enough to win the cup. But it will still be the toughest series for the Sens thus far."

Sens in ?? - RedCap
I have a story. Yours Truly was Seventeen years old, working alone in the kitchen of Belleville’s Boston Pizza sometime between midnight and 1a.m., when a young waitress leans through the expo window to get my attention.
“Brock!” she says, but not so loud as to attract attention.
“BROCK!” once more, as I make my way over.
“Brock, Jason Spezza is here!” she says as her eyes widen.
“Who is Jason Spezza?” I have to ask.
“He plays for the Belleville Bulls of the OHL! He is really good!”
“Ok…what is he like?”
Now at this point, her expression changed from excitement, to somewhat of a sad realization:
“He’s a dick.”
OK so here‘s my point. The Sens will win the cup, and Spezza will more than likely play a huge role in the win. The Spezza/Alfredsson/Heatley line has been the most exciting set of forwards throughout the entire post-season. Obviously Pronger & Friends will be matched up with the Sens starting forwards, which will allow second line centre Mike Fisher more room to throw his weight around and sneak in a few nice goals along the way.

Ducks in 7 - metzeger
"I don't doubt the Ducks' grittiness and toughness. I do however have my concerns with J.S. Giguere. If Ottawa exploits his immobility in the net moving side to side, it could be a short series resulting in a Sens victory. The biggest argument I have for the Ducks is their blue liners. To exploit Giguere's weakness, the Sens are going to have to get scoring opportunities, and with Pronger and Neidermayer banging with Ottawa's top line, I like the Ducks' chances in a long series."
