Tampa in 7. Overtime goal scored by ex-Leaf throw away Anton Stralman. Sort of how it has been lately for Toronto.
Chicago Blackhawks will win in 6 games.
Why: not only do they have the best players and greatest fans of all, one of their best fans is watching from heaven, and between me and my mom who passed away after they won the cup on 2013, they will have some devine intervention for this series.
Chicago in five (5) games
Have to go with Toews and the Blackhawks…in six games….they have been playing with more heart.
Steve aka Blades
Hawks in six (4-2) games
I’m picking Tampa Bay Lightning in six games.
Chicago in 7 games. Go Hawks go.
Tampa Bay, in 6 games because life is random, and sports especially so.
Chicago in 6 – experience and perserverance. The road win, game 7 in Anaheim sealed it.
Tampa Bay in 7. Why? Because I am guessing because I want to go out for a nice dinner. I really don’t care who wins.
I am going with Tampa to win in 7 games. I was upset when they beat my favorite Canadiens, and would like to see them beaten, but just have a feeling that they will now win it all. but it will go the full 7 games. Steven Stamkos will be the star.
Chicago will win in 6 games, due to their experience.
Chicago in 5 games, only because I’m picturing Clark W. Griswald in his Black Hawks jersey on Christmas Day cursing out his no good, rotten, snake licking, dirt eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood sucking….(and it goes on) boss in his living room with a moose glass filled with eggnog. Good enough reason for me. Win it for Clark!
Well I have to agree with a few of the bloggers that Tampa will take the cup in 7 games. Sorry that you will have to put our names in a hat and pull the winner out!! (is it a Leafs hat you use?)
Tampa Bay in 5. I think they are a young team and they will be fun to watch!
The Tampa Bay Lightning are proving that Steve Yzerman is a genius on and off the ice. Great hire of coach John Cooper who won a Calder Cup in the AHL. But despite their great moves, I have to go with Chicago in 7. Jonathan Toews may go into history as the greatest captain in the modern era winning Stanley Cups at a time when it is most difficult to do. The Black Hawks are the best run team in hockey and defy the preconceived notion of teams believing that a Stanley Cup run is too demanding to do every year. The Hawks make regular runs deep in the playoffs. Enjoy some really good hockey regardless of who hoists the cup and hopefully a sizzling steak and delicious red wine courtesy of the great Tim Salisbury!
Black Hawks in 5 games cause they have the cooler uniform
The HAWKS in 7 games……It will be a great series but the hawks have more class and talent. I think there will be a lot 1 goal games but in the end Chicago will hoist the cup. I can remember as a kid when we had a black hawk team in St. Catharines and most people cheered for Chicago then, some things never change.
Chicago will win the cup in 6, I’m going througha rough patch in illness and it would meke me feel better
Bolts in 7. hoping lightning strikes twice.
I think Chicago in six. They got the experience
Tampa in six. Coulda sworn i posted this Wednesday!
Chicago in 6!
Chicago in 5 ! I think Bishop is done
Hawks in 5…because I cannot handle these late nights anymore!
I think Chicago will win in 5 games. – they’re the better team!
Tampa in 5 younger stronger team one of the best coaches
Chicago in 6 o/time win 4-3
Chicago in 7 games because Tampa is going to run out of Goalies by end of series
Many of you had the Hawks winning the Stanley Cup and you were right! About 6 of you had them winning it in 6 games as well so CONGRATS…………………….but only 1 winner and LORI MARSH wins this years Stanley Cup Contest and for many reasons. She was the 1st comment on the Blog who picked the Hawks in 6 games. She also has a great story of the Hawks that her family, especially her mom share. Congrats Lori.
Thanks you to all of you who played this year.
Timothy
Wow, thanks Tim, mom would be proud, xoxo
