blackhawkrush Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I know we have a few days before Carolina-Minnesota at 12et on Thursday, so untill all the T O E W S and K A N E stuff begins, I just wanted to find out who you think will win the Cup in 2011. We can all compare notes afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g under p Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm sure you expect your Hawks to take it, just like expect the BRUINS to win it all. It's well overdue in that it'll be 40 years in 2 years! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CAPITALS.....I just moved from the DC Metro area down here to Florida and just can't see the Caps winning the CUP. That team along with the Wizards and the Verizon/MCI Center are jinxed. Last year I felt it was going to be the Hawks all the way and I was certainly right. I was very surprised the Bruins reached as far as they did. I hope they can reach as far this year, it takes time to build a team to win it all. Now the more I think about it barring injuries the Caps could take it, just ANYBODY but the Canadiens and the Penguins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkrush Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Hawks may have too many kids this time around to repeat. I'd love to be wrong but I don't see our stars being able to score enough to compensate for the players we lost in the off season. Hopefully, we'll get a few Niemi-type performances from our youngsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Hoping Caps learned from last year's disaster and take it this year. Only thing I am worried about is we are depending on 2 young goalies; I'm sure they will be fine but a veteran backup goalie would be nice. Looking forward to see Carlson break out on the Caps' defence. He will be a good one. As for the West I think the Kings could surprise alot of people this year. so yeah...my call is Caps vs. Kings for the mug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Varlamov will have to get the job done because the rest (Neuvirth or whoever) is not the answer. Something tells me Caps will be shopping for a goalie at the trading deadline. You definitely have enough to sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You definitely have enough to sell. Actually some scouts think Neuvirth might even be better than Varly. It's a nice situation to have 2 very talented young goalies but to rely on both of them in same season with very high expectations is sure risky. I love Varly but he tends to be too injury-prone for my liking. Yeah that is the consensus for sure...shop for a goalie at deadline along with a playoff-experienced D-man.

Though I've been hearing a lot of Washington beating out Vancouver for the Cup... Either way, I said it in the Conference Finals last year: expect to see a lot more out of LA and Phoenix. I get the feeling that both teams are gonna explode this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
