Who's Your Favorite Cup Contender This Year?

Well, here we go again... Another crazy hockey season is quickly coming to a close as teams gear up for the madness and excitement of the 2011 Stanley Cup Playoffs.

So the question is: Who is your favorite Stanley Cup Contender this year?  The Flyers, Penguins and Caps look like strong favorites in the East, with those teams as well as the Bruins already clinching playoff spots.

Meanwhile, the Canucks, Sharks and the Original Six perennial favorite Red Wings dominate the Western Conference .

Of course there's always the chance that some of the "underdogs" like Chicago, Calgary and Buffalo could make a run for the cup as well, with lots of injuries hurting some of the top teams out there.

Speaking of injuries, the Wing's chances are totally up in the air with Osgood out til the end of the season (and who knows how he'll play after months off) - Howard with a recent "undisclosed" upper body injury, and the new kid Joey MacDonald seemingly ready for major league action.

All these questions and more will be answered shortly as the post season gets under way, but until then...WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE FOR THE 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONSHIP?
