ESPN's Sportsnation has a new playoffs poll. Here are the results so far: 1) Anaheim vs. New Jersey in the Stanley Cup finals is ... 85.2% Good for hockey ... I'm sick of seeing the same teams each year 14.8% Bad for hockey ... Gimme Detroit-Colorado any day 2) How many games will go into overtime? 43.6% 2 31.0% 3 13.3% 1 8.0% 4 1.9% 5 1.2% 6 1.1% 7 3) Who will win the Conn Smythe Trophy? 55.8% Jean-Sebastien Giguere, G, Anaheim 28.1% Martin Brodeur, G, New Jersey 5.0% Jamie Langenbrunner, RW, New Jersey 4.4% John Madden, C, New Jersey 3.0% Scott Stevens, D, New Jersey 2.5% Paul Kariya, Anaheim 0.6% Keith Carney, D, Anaheim 0.5% Steve Rucchin, Anaheim 4) How should the Devils go about trying to score on Jean-Sebastian Giguere? 58.4% Crowd the crease lurking for rebounds 21.5% Bribery 16.6% Top shelf 3.5% Five hole 5) Who will win the Stanley Cup? 32.3% Anaheim in 6 28.4% New Jersey in 6 12.7% New Jersey in 5 9.3% Anaheim in 5 7.2% Anaheim in 7 5.9% New Jersey in 7 2.4% Anaheim in 4 1.8% New Jersey in 4 Total Votes: 18,501 I'm surprised at how many people think this series will be good for hockey. I guess not many knowledgeable fans must have voted. The trap is not good for hockey and a series showcasing it exclusively is a not either. Like watching paint dry.....
