Just curious who everyone is cheering for this year in the NHL playoffs? I'm going for the Montreal Canadiens.

Gotta go for the Caps if anyone is up in limbo, even though they are my favorite team they would also be probably the best for the NHL because they are so much fun to watch and simply electrifying!

B) You could say that about a ton of teams...Ugh, how about Pittsburgh or Boston?

C) If the Caps weren't in the south, would they even make the playoffs?

a. Its gonna be fun watching them take care of business vs. Philly

b. Last time I checked they don't have OV

c. They are in the South so deal with it, I don't get how in any sport people always try to downplay teams in the postseason because of circumstances that were beyond their control, we did what we had to do, last time I checked everyone is 0-0 in the playoffs right now

yeah, circumstances that, if they didn't exist, means the team simply wasn't good enough to deserve a spot, let alone home ice...

Crosby > Ovechkin

and I'm sure they'll take care of business...if business if golfing by mid-april...

That's what you said and I thought it was stupid. I didn't want to say "no, that's stupid" until you led me there...

In limbo, you should pick the caps because...They're fun to watch (nope) and the best for the NHL (noooo way)

There's about...15 other choices that might be better...and I don't even hate the caps...

that's a good point. Heavy hitting works well in the playoffs as you tend to get to play more. Though, I don't think the flyers will make it too far. Eastern Conf. Finals would be an accomplishment.

Alexander Semin, Nic Backstrom and the leadership of Federov makes for some solid second option goal scorers. Throw in Green, Poti and Liach and the Caps are more stacked than most realize.

Ovie is not the better all around player. He has had a better year, yes. But one better season doesn't make him the better player. You may be forgetting that Crosby won the scoring title last year with 120 pts, more than Ovie won with this year. Crosby was also leading the league in points the day he went down with the ankle injury. True Ovie is the better scorer and plays a more physical game, but does he improve his teammates as well as Crosby? I think not. Crosby has better vision, passing, and overall hockey ability. He is as solid ro more so than Ovie on D. It took Crosby less time to take his team to the Playoffs and less time to win the scoring title. Crosby is hands down the captain of his team. And finally, Crosby draws penalties at rate 3 times higher than Ovie (granted, this is due to several factors: better puck handling and stickwork, smaller stature, and he is Bettman's little boy). I love both players, and I have said here before that you really can't compare the two. The play completely different games and any comparison between the two would lead you to a poor conclusion. But if you asked me to pick one player to start a team with it would be Crosby. But if you asked me who I want to have the puck on a break away with the cup on the line, It's Ovie. They both have there strong suits, it's now up to the GM's to use them properly. ANy comparison is as unfair as a 99 vs. 66 comparison.

As an offensive force, Ovechkin is better, but Crosby is better all around. Ovechkin has done really well on a team with frankly nobody else. Imagine how many points he'd rack up if he had just 1 other 90/100 player on his team. Crosby doesn't need to score the points because he has Malkin. I like Ovechkin though, he's the more exciting of the players to watch. They're very different players.

I'm definitly going for the Pittsburgh Penguins because they are up 2-0 at the second intermission and they have Crosby, Malkin, Hossa, Stall, Gonchar and Flery.Plus the Sens are really hurting, with Alferdson and Fisher out, and Volcankov just went down from a puck in the face.The Sens are streched pretty thin.The Pens should take it in four.

I'm going to be rooting for the Bruins, even though I know they're not going to win it.

I'm not the biggest hockey fan, but I've followed it a little bit. A team that has definitely impressed me is the Pittsburgh Penguins. They're a team that I'd like to see win and I believe have a much better chance of winning than the Bruins (since they're facing those damn Canadiens).

Don't let me down, Sidney!

It helps that nine out of ten refs also play for the Penguins. You don't get to see the games Romi, it is terrible. Worst officiating of a single team ever. They get away with everything. Crosby espically, he'd have to murder someone before he got in any trouble. Yes, he has a lot of penalty minutes but he gets away with so much more because the refs let him...

Outside of the "Almost Fight" (Almost fighting is not a penalty, it is called pretty consistantly across the league) those are all videos of the Flyers roughing up Crosby, so I don't see what penalties Crosby is "getting away with". You can cry diving all you want, that doesn't make it true.

I think it's the Pens year. In fact, I think is the Pens couple of years before they have to dump salaries and rebuild. so here's to a few cups in a row.
