Go the Yotes!

Pop quiz - what team is currently coming 4th OVERALL??

If the Flames season fizzles out, I am jumping on the Bryzgalov bandwagon and backing the Yotes for the Cup. They look to have a team that will play some outstanding playoff hockey. An elite starting goaltender and a more than adequate back up, along with a great mix of youth and experience through out the rest of the lineup. A good grinding team. No real stand out player, but plenty of them who can answer the call in a game when needed.

Calgary may have a favourable overall record against Phoenix, but I sure hope we don't get them in the first round. Considering all the turmoil surrounding the franchise in the off season, it would be hard not to cheer for them. And it makes for a pretty damn good story. Would a Stanley Cup, or even a deep playoff run by the Yotes mean that Bettman was right to keep the team playing in the desert?
