Yup!

The Finals will be interesting, as the Canucks are the favorites and the Bruins as the underdogs. Don't deny it at all, the Canucks have the top players in each position, while the B's have to ride on good'o Timmy for every game and making sure their players play a team game.

But my gut says the Canucks are going to win this in 5 or 6 games, unless the B's can jump the 'nucks in the first two games (just need to win at least one in the North Side) and stay strong at home (will need more players to score).

Other note, is the moment when Make it 7 will happen this week?

A bold, but unlikely a pretty good prediction.

I'm going Canucks in five, only because the Lightning gave Boston a run for their money and I feel like Vancouver has more skill than the Lightning, and is about on par for speed. The only issue for the Canucks is their rather shaky goaltending, and how soft the Sedins are compared to Chara.

Plus, the green men and the flashers in Vancouver MAAAY throw Boston off their game. Maybe.

(Still can't believe the Lightning lost...)

Hmmmm... both teams each have 17 Canadian players. So, either way Canada wins.

The Canucks have 6 American players, where the Bruins have only 3.

If you are a real true American, you would cheer for the Canucks. :D

Today Winnipeg Make it Seven for NHL teams in Canada, now lets make it 10 for Canada - Quebec City, Hamilton, and 2nd team in Toronto!

For US, lets give Seattle its chance, I think a NHL team will succeed better than a NBA team (as following what King James says...)

I don't think southern Ontario needs THREE teams. Hamilton right next to Toronto. Buffalo is only another hour away, and Detroit isn't that far.

Maybe a team in Hamilton... but Toronto does not need another if Hamilton has one.

One in Quebec City would be good. I think Saskatoon/Regina could support a team, to be honest. The only question there is corporate power. Games would definitely sell out, though.

I do agree that Seattle could have a team. How can Florida have two teams, California three, Dallas have a team, Pheonix and, now formerly, Atlanta, but Seattle have none? While I'm at it, move the Whalers back to Hartford!

I'm not a supporter of "screw over the southeast" but I will say, I am looking forward to a season of Thrashers hockey in Winnipeg (even if they are the Jets). I wasn't old enough to remember the Jets so I'm looking forward to it. I wouldn't mind a return to Quebec City for the Nordiques as well.

The only thing I'm ashamed of is that Atlanta had the Flames, and let them go. Then they had the Thrashers, and let them go. Now I highly doubt that Atlanta will get a third chance at a franchise.

As for expansion into Southern Ontario, I really think one franchise is enough. Maybe a 2nd Toronto franchise, just to name them after the province. I don't think that a true expansion team is in the works right now. I do think possible relocation or expansion would work well in Seattle or Kansas City.

But one thing I'm wondering, will they wait to rearrange the divisions until next season and leave Winnipeg in the Southeast? Or will they move Detroit to the East? What do you guys think?
