Underdogs

I love an underdog story. They are always captivating and appeal to the average man. Lets face it nobody wants to see the same teams year after year play for the cup. Yes it was nice to see detroit and pittsburgh battle it out again this year. Its just always more interesting for me to see a team come out of nowhere and be a contender for the cup. I look back at when tampa bay won the cup. I dont think anybody saw that coming and it made for a good series. So this year i am looking for an underdog to maybe not win the cup but put up a fight . I think there are a couple of teams out there that could do it. Personally i see the Maple leafs suprising everybody and do really good and make it to the playoffs and maybe winning the whole thing. The Kings are another team to look out for. It's still early to be making any big predictions so we will see what the summer will bring and hopefully we will see some more teams make it to the playoffs that we usually dont see.
