Unless people are treating this as a "Who is your favorite team poll" I don't see how too many "other" votes can be submitted. I believe the OP was referring to
this year's cup. The Bolts don't have a chance.

Detroit as usually is red hot out of the gate and then cools off in time for the playoffs.
Ottawa is following suit and Montreal should have only gotten weaker after the trade deadline, but are surprisingly remaining a threat.
The laughable southeast division has remarkably improved where the Canes are looking like contenders and Washington just might make the playoffs.
Philly is a see saw but overall choking as is the norm in that city.
Rangers? They are beginning to look dangerous again.
Boston - eh...
New Jersey is always a threat especially with Superman in goal (Marty Brodeur).
San Jose and Dallas are the primary threat in the West.
If the Pens can play as well
with Crosby as they have without and improve their road performance they will be a legitimate threat. They have the talent to carry them and solid goal tending. Their defense tends to crumble without notice, but if they can score 3-5 goals every game as they have been, then they can't loose.
It should be interesting!
