I think St Louis will win it all this year. There defense is as good as anybody if not the best one. They have a good balance of veteran presence and young guns out front, which is well rounded with size, speed and grit.
The only question mark is in net, he's not able to steal a series but he wont have too.
If I had to pick my favorite, I would pick New York, based on the size speed, scoring and goaltending they are getting combined with there first round matchup. They just seem like this might be there year.
If I had to pick a team from the west I would go with the Ducks. Same reasons, including there 1st round matchup, but also because they have been there before and just seemed to cruise this year in a tough conference.
Rangers / Duck for the final with New York bringing it home.
I am going with the NY Rangers. On the back end they could be the best team in years. Keith Yandle was by far the best pick up this season at the deadline. He is a great PP quarterback. And other than Carey Price I dont trust another goaltender as much as I trust Lundquivst. Up front the Rangers are steady but I believe if they score 3 goals a game they should be well on their way to winning lord stanley.
