Who Do You Think

Who do you think will win the Champion's Cup this year?

I think the 'necks probably will if they win against Arizona on Saturday.

I personally think that all four teams left have a legit shot at winning it all this year.

Possible Matchups:

Calgary @ Toronto
Toronto won 2 of 3 meetings this year, with the home team winning all three games.

Toronto is very tough to beat @ home when they are on their game. Also, whoever capitalizes on their scoring chances will likely win here, especially on the power play.

Rochester @ Calgary
Have not met since December 29, 2001 - with Rochester winning 14-13.

Two explosive offenses going head to head (Grant, Williams, Accursi, Evans, O' Connor vs. Kelusky, Toth, Dowling, Wulder, Ratcliff, Phillips), should be high scoring. Goaltending will be key (Pat O' Toole vs. Curtis Palidwor)

Arizona @ Toronto
Met March 18 @ Toronto this season, Toronto won 18-10.

Arizona @ Rochester
Met January 15 @ Rochester this season, Arizona won 9-8 in OT.

Normally, Rochester is hard to beat @ home. Blue Cross Arena gets very loud when the Knighthawks are on a roll.

How do they determine which arena will be the home arena for the Champions Cup game?

I think it depends on who wins and stuff

Toronto has home all the way through play offs as they were no1 overall and it's basivcally the way the NHL does it the team with the higher % gets home floor

I have to go out on a limb here.. Rochester..
they were 2-1 against toronto this year.

By the way.. who can stop JG Jr???

[LL71]

i agree but they did do a good job against him last game in TO he had like 1 goal and 4 assists or 3 im not sure(LOL doing a good job stopping him means he still gets 5 points)

[WHEELAX2]

true.. but with the assist tallies like hockey, they can get a little blown out of proportion, those 3 or 4 assists look good on paper, but I'm pretty sure that was a bad night for him, so I guess they did shut him down..

I watched him against colorado.. He went off.. I think he's primed and ready to go..

[LL71]

ya he was teeing off on colorado, but i hope he dosent think he can do it all himself and hog the ball even more, im sure a strong game by the rightys will maybe shock TO......

Toronto has, every season since the Rock relocated and changed names. Basically, the only way the K-hawks can advance back to the championship game would be if the Rock went back to being the Ontario Raiders. (which ain't happening)

That being said, Calgary wins it all.

I remember those sad days at Copps in Hamilton who new that all it would take as a move 50 miles up the QEW to produce a multi time Champion's Cup winning team. T.O. will take it again this year.
P.S Thanks for the memories of Copps HELLO! HEllo! Hello, hello.
