Biggest Disappointment: For disappointment, I am going to go with the Oilers. Sam Gagner has had an absolutely miserable second season so far. The Oilers defense has a few names that can be huge offensively, namely Lubomir Visnovsky, Sheldon Souray, and Tom Gilbert. They need more scoring if they want to have a chance in the West.
MVP/Vezina: Henrik Lundqvist has been sensational. Without him, the New York Rangers are in the basement of the Eastern Conference. Every game he makes phenomenal saves and bails out the defense of the Rangers who have turnover machines in Michal Rozsival, Wade Redden, and Dmitri Kalinin. He leads the league in wins and I believe he will end it as such.
Stanley Cup: The Red Wings. Yes San Jose has gotten off to a great start, but they have done nothing but choke in the playoffs. Until that changes, I will be hesitant to pick them. Detroit is still unbelievable.
As for a Dark Horse, and maybe they aren't anymore, but the Boston Bruins. Yes Boston fans, jump on the bandwagon of fair weatherness (I know its not a word) for the Bruins. As a friend of mine predicted during the summer, the Bruins will lose to the Wings in the Stanley Cup finals. Still think they are going to lose? I don't think they would if they make it to the finals.
I will have another edition of this at the All Star break with the questions altered slightly.
