NJDevs4978 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I suspect most will root for the Flames, but I'll back Tampa, not cause they bounced Philly or because of the silly US vs. Canada reasoning, but I do like their style and a lot of players. St. Louis and Iginla cancel out for me they're both amazing, but I've been a Richards fan for the last couple years, also definitely like Andreychuk. Hell I've even got a soft spot for Sydor after that play where he went on his hands and knees trying to block a shot in Game 6 for the Stars. Of course if Calgary wins, I'd be okay with that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insanity_gallops Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I'm good with either team winning, no real bitterness there... but I'm pulling for Calgary, I think. This'll be the first year in a while where I'm watching the finals and kind of pulling for both teams to do their very best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyBlueFish203 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Pulling for Tampa myself. They're an exciting team and I love their style. They've had a great season. A Stanley Cup would be a great finish. Go Tampa! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamode Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Not really sure, guess I'll say Tampa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Gotta go with Calgary because I want the Devs to still be the only team in the East to get the job done in almost an entire decade...3 times too... GO FLAMES GO! But if the Bolts do win, I wouldn't be pissed, I'm happy either way, it will be an exciting series! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmCanadian27 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I'm still rooting for the Flames since I want to see a Canadian team finally win it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek21 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I'm good with either team winning the Cup. Both will have really earned it. They're both fun teams to watch with contrasting styles. Calgary is like a smaller younger Flyers. They work very hard. Tampa is an aggressive counterattacking team with skill. Both teams have lots of speed and younger legs. And there's even a contrast in net. Kiprusoff is great at seeing shots with traffic. Bulin has a quick glove but has problems with traffic. It will be interesting to see which goalie plays better? A Euro-goalie matchup too. A good storyline. I am looking forward to an exciting series. Best of luck to both teams! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevilMinder Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 No preference here. But I bet Bettman was rooting for a team in orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I like seeing the crazies in Calgary. When I see the Tampa crowd I wonder if they know what winning the cup means. That being said, the old saw is the cup goes to the best player. So we will see which young player picks up his game even more, Lecalvier or Iginla. ( At least I can watch the hockey for the hockey and not the dread of yelling for a team other than the Devils to: "Get the puck outta there!"

NewarkDevil5 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I have no problem with either team winning but I'm pulling for Calgary simply because after their fans' display post-Conference Finals win I just have to see what they'll do post-Cup win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOTCB Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Wouldnt be at all disappointed if Calgary won it, but I have to pull for the Lightning, want to see Big Dave win the Cup!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Sports Bureau Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 (edited) I think Calgary plays a very intelligent, very passionate game. I gotta go with them. And I hate the Duhs (but thanks for eliminating the Orange!!!) Edited May 23, 2004 by Elias Sports Bureau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils731 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 I'm gonna go with Tampa Bay because I'd like to see a gambling offensive geared team win a cup and give GMs and coaches a thought that maybe offensive styles can still win championships. -Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FunkyBlueFish203 Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Has Andreychuk ever played in a Final before? No, this will be his first finals appearance. I believe he holds the record for most regular season games played without playing in the SCF with 1,597. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan Posted May 23, 2004 Share Posted May 23, 2004 Old Man Dave to the Cup! However, he dissed the Prince of Wales last night by not picking her up. The last one to do that was Eric Lindros of the Flyers and I cursed his ass then and there to never lift another trophey for the rest of his career. So far it has works.. Sorry Dave, I want you to win but you put your head in the noose all by yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
