Whats everyones thoughts on the playoffs this year? Personally would like to see Calgary take it, being Canadian and all, but also wouldn't mind a San Jose, Tampa final as someone would win the cup for the first time.

I am with Calgary as well. Iginla deserves to win it. He carries a tremendous load, and still succeeds.

Well, I guess you all know who I want to win. LOL But if Tampa does not, I hope it's Calgary.

All fans in Poland for sure support Calgary, because our Krzysztof Oliwa play there, he even scores two goals in playoffs. For sure you all watched much more NHL than I’m, and I’m wondering that fans in NA knows who is Oliwa?

Well, I hope Calgary goes all the way, love their games, work work work all the time, and Kiprusoff being in his form of life. Iginla leading it all with his attitude and gamewinning plays, Donovan adding speed and finesse Nieminens speed and toughness and even a swede playing a small role (Nilsson) Those tops above a wholeheartely working Flames has been lethal this far. The Sharks will prolly fall in the same trap as Redwings and Avs, trying to outplay this years Flames simply doenst work. Alltho, in SC final I have hard to see Calgary win agains Philly if they are the oponent, Lightning is a techniqual playing team and Calgary has scalped several of them this far, one more is they down the Sharks So prediction, Flames winning the cup if Tampa is the other oponent. Philly will be the champs if they get there. Hard to see the sharks turning this around now, they seem "satisified" somehow, I dunnow, just a feeling when I watch them.

Success comes from the lessons learned through past failures.

I am cheering for Calgary, I am sure that is no surprise hearing that from a Canadian! They look poised to take it all this year. I am also cheering for Tampa Bay to get out of the east. They have had a great year thus far. Behind: You bring up some very good points. Well said!

I can't stand Philadelphia after they took out my beloved Leafs. So no soup for them!! It suppose it would be cool with a Canadian SC. So i guess i'll be cheering for the Flames. Even though my interest failed after the bigger teams went out.

I am with you pihinalle, Calgary vs. Philly is my choice for a SC final, with Calgary winning of course.
I am an Avs fan and the fact that so many former Avs players are with Calgary now makes them an easy choice for me.
Philly, well there is just something so "old school" and traditional about the Flyers, plus they have a great name!

For sure you all watched much more NHL than I’m, and I’m wondering that fans in NA knows who is Oliwa? Oliwa is famous for his fighting. Definitely not known for scoring goals, but he has a great reputation as a heavy weight fighter.

Mike I know what is his role there, do you have any classification of “fighters”? What position he have in such ranking?

When the "enforcers" are talked about, Oliwa is usually mentioned, so I would say he is ranked in the top 4 or 5 in the league. A lot of respect shown to him by the other enforcers.
