Now that the Pittsburgh Penguins are the 2009 Stanley Cup Champions?

Are they the favorite to repeat next year already or is it too early for you to think that just yet?

Update:

Jim, I am stunned a bit too, but the way the Wings have been playing as of late, I am not so surprised when I sit back and think about it. You do bring up a good point. I HAVE TO CHANGE MY NAME!

Update 2:

HYPOTHETICAL, pre, pre-season favorites. Of course 99% of you will change your pick regardless of it being tomorrow or right up until play-off time anyway!

    yes, they will be the favorite...I'm not shocked that the Pens won, but I'm a little surprised...I predicted Detroit to win in 6 and when it went to 7 I thought they would win game 7 but thats why they play the game.

    Its going to be the same 2 teams. Detroit and Pittsburgh. But next year were going to have the good year. Detroit red wings-2010 stanley cup champions. Detroit Tigers-2010 world series champions. Detroit lions-We'll win 1 game. Yeah the pistons wont get anything because they traded billups.

    you're stupid. You congratulate the Wings for "how a techniques they have come" like they got here from nowhere. Oh nicely. thank you besides. I consistently respected the Penguins. i think of ways they stepped it up makes me admire them somewhat greater. I proportion a common call with Crosby so i will't hate him too lots! :o) i'm fairly upset, nonetheless. unhappy. So, unhappy. My heart hurts. you comprehend what I propose because you went by way of it final one year. no longer lots celebrating here in Michigan. Sniff. i think undesirable for all the pink Wings. Hossa not greater and no much less. i'm advantageous he won't return to the Penguins through fact i do no longer think of they want or want him. He desires to stay with the Wings and that they're going to attempt to sign him. He purely performed for the Penguins for 32 video games so i'm no longer truly advantageous why all the hatred. And, i do no longer think of you propose he led to you to lose your admire for all times. i'm undecided WHAT you meant. while i became into your age or maybe way older, once I first have been given truly into hockey (and that i comprehend i'm way, way older than you're) I used to "heart" the gamers. Gary Unger, Steve Yzerman (the single which Crosby favourite growing to be up, ), Sergei Fedorov, Gretzky, Lemieux....and then i found out it is the interest no longer the gamers meaning the main to me. That and gamers like the Steve Chaisson's, The Kris Draper's, the Gerard Gallants...i ought to circulate on uninteresting you to make my factor. no longer the full stars however the gamers who take place and play their butts off on a daily basis yet don't get the headlines or the awards. that's what hockey is all approximately. no longer how stunning somebody is with their shirt off. This summer season we are occurring trip to Virginia sea coast, Virginia and directly to the Outer Banks from there. Later in the summertime we can North Dakota. Yup, North Dakota. i'm already looking forward to October! Congratulations returned on your Pens. playstation OMG! Marian Hossa is EVER so stunning!!! :o) in basic terms teasing you!

    Pens played harder for that Cup and in my opinion deserve it. Winning best of 7 is one thing but to win the last 4 of 5!!! Good for them. Congrats Penguins.

    Id say no to the repeat,there gonna have the a hangover and not want the cup so much.There gonna get little rest(while the other teams are getting well rested up for the next season)but i can see anaheim,chicago,detroit,pittsberg,capitals(that match up with them was the best)

  • Way too early to tell. Can we let them celebrate first and then maybe get through the draft , then start to ask this question? Just how I feel.

  • Next year should be great with Chicago, Detroit, Anaheim and Pittsburgh all looking good

    No love for the traitor Hossa however. He must feel lower than a slug haha.

    Just out of curiousity, are you changing your name, or your avatar?

    And no one is the favorite next year, the off-season hasn't happened yet.

    Way too early to talk about the 2010 SCF.
