Vote: Which team will hoist the Stanley Cup?


After six physical games the Stanley Cup finals have returned to Carolina for a deciding Game 7 between the Hurricanes and Oilers.

Edmonton lost its starting goalie in Game 1 and fell into a 3-1 hole but has roared back thanks to outstanding play from backup goalie Jussi Markkanen and an improved power play. Carolina has lost momentum and looked out of sync in recent games but plays the ultimate game on its home ice.

Does playing in their own building make the Hurricanes the favorites or does the Oilers' advantage in momentum give them the edge? Which players have been the best for their teams? How exciting has this series been? And, most important, which team will skate with the Stanley Cup when all is said and done?

Vote below and see how your picks stack up against the rest of SportsNation!
