Who would you like to see raise the cup?

[chihawk19]

After watching the handshake line last night after the Blackhawks victory, there was something that really stood out to me.

Anton Stralman had a hell of a series for the Lightning and in my opinion wasn't far behind Hedman for being the best defenseman on the team. He has now lost in the Stanley Cup Finals in 2 consecutive years. Even after making it all the way to the finals and falling short 2 years in a row, he had a huge smile on his face and seemed genuinely happy for his fellow countryman, Niklas Hjalmarsson.

If my Blackhawks can't win the cup, he is someone I would definitely love to see raise it.

Who are the players (preferably not on your favorite team) that you want to see win the Cup?

I'd love to see Ovie win a few

 

[re-ac-tor]

Good Question, I think it would be nice for Jerome Iginla or Shane Doan to win a cup.


My best,

Ken

My selfish answer:

Lee Stempniak - I'd love to see him bring it back to West Seneca


Not selfish answer: Henrik Lundqvist

 

[gomaz]

I would love to see Shane Doan hoist the Cup as the last active former Winnipeg Jet to be playing. I would shed a tear, as I did when Teemu hoisted it in 2007.

 

[BravesFan4Life]

Any 40 something who has yet to win...no one specific but gotta feel amaZing to win one after playing likely since you were a kid and the culmination of your lifes work is lifting The Cup

 

[99wgretzky99]

Jerome Iginla would be my first pick. A good hard working talented local legend that just needs that last piece of his careers puzzle.

 

[geschrocks33]

I also agree with the Doan/Iginla posts. 2 Leaders that would certainly deserve a Cup.

 

[Orca Pod]

Patrick Marleau

and by extension, Joe Thornton

 

[MMarch]

Marleau for me. Oshie too (but only if he does it with a team other than the Blues).

 

[oasis]

anybody wearing a blues jersey before I die!

 

[Fritz]

oh yeah I totally forgot about Jarome, he's near the top of my list for sure now that you guys mention him

 

[capsfan30]

I'd love to see Ovie win a few

THIS

But as for someone not on my favorite team, I wouldn't mind seeing Iggy raise it. Marleau/Thorton would be next, but not until after the Caps win one, as I would never hear the end of it from my coworker who is a huge Sharks fan. :devil:

 

[c_bass22]

Iginla, Lundqvist and Luongo

 

[k_northrup]

Anybody in a Leafs uniform, most likely it won't happen but we can all dream!

 

[Bossy22]

1.) Shane Doan
2.) Slater
3.). Would of been Vermette but can cross him off!

 

[punkoholic]

1)Any Blue Jackets player
2)Rick Nash
3)Manny Malholtra/Chris Phillips/Barrett Jackman
*Would have said Markstrom but he needs to make it to the NHL first so yeah.

 

[OilersRule]

All the players mentioned are well deserving, beyond further mention.

Obviously, in a perfect world, I would like to see Hemmer win one..as he came so close once.
For the time being, please hockey gods... Let the Oil make the playoffs soon

 

[RGM81]

Of non-Habs guys, Jarome Iginla tops the list for sure.
