Question

What NHL team would surprise you the most if they won the Stanley Cup in 08/09 and why?

Answer 1

< < < < < (ahem)

Answer 2

The Tampa Bay Lightning

Well they do have a lot of talent now, but the chemistry isn't quite there yet. Like look at the Oilers last year, like half of their team was new players. they were average during the season, even though they didn't make the playoffs they won like 10 of their last 15 games. That's what I call chemistry!!! But I'll give the Lightning 2 years to be a Stanley Cup contender.

Answer 3

Florida Panthers, Pheonix Coyotes, or Atlanta Thrashers....just cause they are the worst teams in the league

Out of those middle teir teams that have a legit shot, but no one is expecting them to do much I'd have to say the NJ Devils....but then again they are never picked to do much and they always wind up being at the top of the conference come April.  We shall see...

Answer 4

toronto!

Answer 5

l.a.. the only decent player they have is rob blake and he's losin it

Answer 6

The New York Islanders.  

Answer 7

the maple laughs...i meant leafs...GO HAWKS!

Answer 8

My L.A. Kings, becuase our GM is an idiot and has no clue what he is doing so we do not have any personnel that would give us a chance.

Answer 9

Toronto and not because i hate them but because they are simply in rebuilding mode and are looking towards the future.

Answer 10

i would say phoenix i think there time have come they have a great young team with a great goalie. The goalie was a key ingredient to there success last season even though they did not make it. this year with the help of olli jokinen and some good solid defence.

Answer 11

L.A. Because they know they don't have a shot, I know they don't have a shot, and everyone whose ever turned on a hockey game knows they don't have a shot.  

Answer 12

my thrashers, i know Kovalchuk is good, but hes not a godly miracle worker.

surprises

Atlanta

LA

Tampa

Toronto

St. Louis

Answer 13

The Toronto Maple Leafs or the Chicago Blackhawks. Both havent won in years, let alone made the playoffs.

Answer 14

The Leafs and if you don't know why, you haven't been paying close enough attention to the NHL.

Answer 15

LA for sure, but really i dont see them going there in the next 5-10 years but i do like kopitar

Answer 16

Any team but Detroit.

Looking at that roster with them winning this year and adding Hossa, you have to think that they're going to take it again.

Answer 17

Florida, they just plain suck.

Answer 18

The Los Angeles Kings. They STILL have absolutely no goaltending, and not enough scoring/defense to impress anyone. They also have crappy fans and terrible sound in their arena. Hockey was not meant for Cali people.

Answer 19

go leafs go lol
