everyone knows that the penguins will beat the lightning in a seven game series this year, what this thread presupposes is: maybe they don't?

I want the Sharks to win the most because of Jumbo, and because the Sharks are cool in general.

Second would be Tampa because they got real close last year, and it'd be nice to see them win this time around. Also, it'd be nice to at least get a Cup out of Stamkos before he fucks off.

I hate the city of St. Louis, but their hockey players are ok and it'd be kinda cool if they finally won. I mostly don't want them to win because I don't want the people of St. Louis to have any joy in their bleak, racist, lives.

I don't actually dislike the Penguins, I just want to see them win the least. There isn't a single player on that roster I like except for maybe Kessel.

Thank you for reading my asinine opinions.

My first game was 1983, Penguins/Whalers, on my old AM/FM clock radio, called by Mike Lange and Terry Schiffauer.

And also, as a fan THIS doesn’t come as a surprise to me. At all.

I'm still not sure how the Bolts are going to counter the Pens scoring depth other than through Bishop being amazing. That being said, I could still see the Bolts getting out-chanced and winning by virtue of finishing plays off better (catching the right line on against the right defensive group). There's going to be so many powerplays in this series so the PK better be doing what it did in the first two rounds because I have zero confidence in the PP.

He really hosed it up fierce his first year, but you have to give the man credit for doing a hell of a job cleaning up his mess this year

Also it apparently turns out Ray Shero was actually pretty competent at drafting, it was just that he was never interested in letting any young players play
