Every year there are upsets, most of which just don't make sense when comparing the two teams in the regular season. I don't know, for me i just have a feeling Anaheim will take this one. The Flames have the best goaltender & defense in the league, and they've shown they can get it down in the post season in the past. The one thing which really worries me about them though is their offense. If they are to go deep again, Jarome Iginla is going to have to take this team on his back. The Ducks are one of the best teams in the league the last few months, and no i don't think they are as good a team as the Flames, but they are certainly no pushovers. Scott Niedermayer is playing IMO the best hockey of his career right now, and he's the leader of this team. JS Giguere is playing like the JS of a few years ago, and Teemu Selanne is playing like a 25 year old. He's been dominant since the Olympics, and with Scott is their leader. Rob Niedermayer is playing well right now and is always a great defensive forward, as is Todd Marchant. Andy McDonald is playing very well right now (85 points), and Lupul has developed into a good goal scorer. They also have some great youngsters in the likes of Perry, Getzlaf and bring a lot of speed & energy to the line-up. It should be a good series, and yeah, i'm going with the Ducks.
And hey, Roenick picks the Ducks too
He actually picked them to win the West, but lose to the Sens in the final.
