Duhatschek - Vancouver

Gordon - Vancouver, maybe Montreal

MacGregor - I can't tell what he's saying

Maki - Vancouver

Sekeres - Vancouver

Shoalts - Vancouver

----------------------------------------------

I guess Vancouver is Canada's team this year. Everybody in BC get ready.

I would have to agree with Vancouver. As long as they don't face Chicago in the playoffs they could make it to the finals....

Maybe in 3-5 years I can say the Leafs will be close to the Stanley Cup Finals haha

haha saw that coming...

I am just optimistic. Playoffs this year I think, but lose in the first round probably. That's fine with me tho.

Hey maybe once the Habs get a good goalie they will be able to contend...

I reject the notion of "Canada's team". When playoffs roll around, I'll be cheering for whoever Vancouver is playing against :)

I would agree though, they're by far the closest Canadian team to the cup. They're going to have an easy time winning what's become the worst division in the NHL..... and not to be a downer, but I've got a feeling they might be the only Canadian team that makes the playoffs this year.

The Prediction was Caps over the Canucks for the Cup.
