Question of the Day: Who Will Win the Stanley Cup?

Or did you stop watching when the Rangers got the boot? Or did you never watch at all?

It's probably safe to say that out of the four "major" sports, hockey is the least popular. As my cousin recently said, "If a bar doesn't have the channel of a sport's semifinals (Versus), I'm not sure if it's a sport."

I would respectfully disagree. I never played organized hockey, but growing up outside of Boston, I played enough street hockey and have been to enough Bruins games to at least be excited once playoff time comes around. 

So after last night's 1-0 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in game 7, I'm pretty excited right now. Boston will play the Vancouver Canucks starting on Wednesday, in their first trip to the Stanley Cup Finals since 1990. If they win the series, it will be their first Stanley Cup victory in nearly 40 years.

For the hockey fans out there, who do you see winning the series? Rangers fans - have you been watching the series despite the first-round loss? For the non-hockey fans out there, will you watch the series at all?

Go Bruins!
