    NHL Playoffs: The Finals: Calgary Flames versus Tampa Bay Lightning

    Make your predictions now, folks.

    I predict Calgary in 7. Just because they didn't come this far, only to be eliminated from some tanned hockey players.

    I'm not about to jump on the bandwagon now. Tampa Bay in a heartbreaking 7 games.

          Kipper and team defense will be the difference - Calgary in 6.

            I agree--Flames in 6.

            Tampa Bay has not yet seen a team like Calgary; Calgary, on the other hand, has defeated a couple of high-skill finesse teams in the last couple rounds.

              I wouldn't complain if it was the Flames in 6, but I think Tampa Bay has a bit more drive than the other teams Calgary has defeated.

                Wow... last year's Conn Smythe selection really signaled the beginning of a crapfest in the NHL. To cap off a lackluster, mediocre season of crap; it figures two pud teams I couldn't care less about are going to battle out for the Cup Finals. Well, I'm done with the NHL unless they make some changes. There might as well be no season next year. And now, a Stanley Cup between two dumb teams, who between both of them, don't have a single player worth watching.

                  You don't know a thing about good hockey, Sava.

                    I'll join the gathering consensus - Calgary in 6. They want it more.

                        They haven't made the playoffs since 96, and they live in a hockey fanatical city. The Captain, Iginla, is one of the best players in the NHL, and he's turned down more money to leave the Flames, but he's determined to take them to the cup.

                        Plus, watching them play this season and post-season, they have more drive than the teams they've played against.

                          Thanx Asher. Yeah I was responding to the drive the Flames are showing. They find ways to win whereas TB seemed to be finding ways not to lose...

                            All good points. However all (except for Iginla) are irrelevant to the upcoming series.

                            Hockey crazed city? Sure. Whats the home w/l record for Cal in the playoffs? 4/5? something like that? Non-factor. (But great for the city and fans, don't get me wrong)

                            More drive than the teams they've come up against? Sure, but they same can be said for the 'ning, right? Or do they play by different rules in the east . Further "drive" isn't always the determining factor in a series. Sometimes a skate in the right place trumps all...
