Lord Stanley's Cup
Yay! Stanley Cup playoffs! Here's my picks:
Tampa Bay Vs Islanders - Tampa Bay, no question about it.
Boston Vs Montreal - Boston, but this is a close one
New Jersey Vs Philadelphia - Philadelphia
Toronto Vs Ottawa - Toronto (my team)
Detroit Vs Nashville - Detroit
San Jose Vs St. Louis - San Jose
Vancouver Vs Calgary - Calgary
Colorado Vs Dallas - Dallas (I hate Colorado)
Overall pick? Possibly Tampa Bay. Can't say for sure, not until next rounds.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
Leafs all the way! I think this is the best team they've had in a few years.
Just a pity Nolan picked up an injury.
They must have a psychological advantage as well after beating Ottawa 6-0 a few days ago.

Hockey
Some people claim that its the hardest trophy to win in sports. 82 regular season games, then 4 playoff rounds all best of 7, all completed in less time that your average football season.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
Hockey on ice, or the other kind?

Forgive me if I find it hard to get enthusiastic about Stan and his cup.

Have you ever been to a game? I used to think the same until I was in Canada a few years ago and started watching it.
Theres not a huge amount of fighting (esp in the British game). It is a very fast and physical game.

Never heard of either of those names, although I'm guessing the version we played at school was 'field' hockey. I really enjoyed it, much more so than Rugby. Our teacher was an Olympic referee (still is, AFAIK), so I guess his enthusiasm for the game must've rubbed off.

Re: Lord Stanley's Cup
The only thing that attracts me to "field" hockey are those skirts the girls wear.....
