I'll do it since you asked for it.
I hope to God Buffalo doesn't win it. I'm going to be in Buffalo starting Saturday night, and I'm rooting for Ottawa (if we beat Carolina) just so I don't need to deal with Buffalo fans. My dad went to Monday's game (8-2) and I remember a while ago (I think it was '99, when Buffalo made it to the Cup) when we were we swept by Buffalo (and when I write Buffalo I mean Hasek) I went to Game One, and when the Sabres won in OT the fans acted like the just won the Cup.
Buffalo fans are obnoxious, and I'm sick of getting heckled when I wear my Beliveau jersey around town. (They don't even know who he is AND can't pronounce his name...) They don't deserve to win the Cup.
Sorry about that rant, BUT with that being said I have a hunch that whoever suvives the West is going to win it. It's a strong conference, especially the hot lower ranked teams (San Jose, Colorado, and Edmonton)
