Who's going to take the cup this year?

Hey guys, it's me again talking about hockey. We have reached the playoffs and we are about half way through the first round. This year features five Canadian teams.

1. Montreal Canadiens
2. Ottawa Senators
3. Winnipeg Jets
4. Vancouver Canucks
5. Calgary Flames.

Of course I'm not rooting for a Canadian team, as I am a die-hard Red Wings fan. But I won't complain if we see a team from the great white north win the cup. It's only been what, like 22 years since we saw the Montreal Canadiens lift the cup. As they would be the last Canadian team to win it all, fans all over Canada have been patiently waiting for their team up there to take it all and bring it home.

Yes, I want the Red Wings to win the cup this year, but I also want to win the Megabucks, but there is very little chance at me accomplishing that. So, if my wings fail to lift a cup again, like they have been lately, I will gladly tip my hat to one of the teams from Canada if they can. My favorite would be the Habs.

We have the boys in Chicago looking to get back into the winners circle this year, and they are, unfortunately, the favorite to take it all this year. Yes, they are good, but who really wants to see the Blackhawks lift another one besides the people of Chicago? (I'm pulling for Nashville to take them out in the first round).

But like I said, as I would love to see my boys from the D take it this year, considering they have made the playoffs 24 years in a row and have nothing to show for it lately, I will gladly root for a Canadian team to take it home this year. And if anyone deserves it more than anyone, its Montreal. So, lets get it Habs, make Canada proud.

Let's hear who you want to win it all

P.S. I'm not Canadian.
