The Lightning are good and were incredibly scary despite their low shot total. I like the Sharks quite a bit and follow them casually but I hope the Penguins beat them. If the Pens lose it couldn't be to a cooler team. I've never been so happy to have my AHL team gutted.

So the Conn Smythe race is down to Pavelski or Burns if the Sharks win, or Kessel or Murray if the Penguins win, yeah?

If Crosby or Malkin has a big finals, they'll get it. It's completely wide open for the Sharks as well as Thornton, Burns, or Couture could all easily win it.

i still can't believe rust didn't get a penalty shot, that was a disgusting missed call

The Sharks' top line and incredibly deep D corps terrifies me, but then I remember that the Penguins have 4 lines that can score and the Sharks don't, and they also have a better goaltender, and I feel better. Series is pretty much a toss-up, I say Penguins in 7. Bonus prediction, Kessel scores the Cup Winning Goal on Reimer

Get ready to hear the poo poo beaten into the ground about how the Penguins haven't won in San Jose in like 20 years or some poo poo like that Even though it's about as relevant as pointing out how lovely the Penguins were at home in game 7

Person with the most points in the playoffs is on our second line. But yeah your third line is better. I don't know about 4th lines?

I am happy that the Penguins won, that was an exciting/terrifying game Still kind of mind blowing that this is the same team that Professor Johnston coached this season

One happy byproduct of the Sharks beating the Blues is that the Penguins get home ice for the Finals

Crosby's dirt squirrel was just a little more magical than Boyle's. Sharks are huge, grizzled fuckers, but the Pens are fast and agile. I can't wait for this series. Go Pens.

I am very excited to be going to the cup and I hope that the Pens win. Although, the Sharks are cool and good, and even though I do not care about their team, I will not be upset at all if they win instead.

I'm really proud of the Bolts for not going out like a wet fart. This game had to have given nearly every Primanti's-lined artery in every Pens fan in the crowd palpitations on a regular basis.

Had hoped the Bolts would have made it to the SCF, but the Pens are chugging along strongly so no big surprise really. While my sympathies are with Kessel, my dislike for the Pens (blame the NHL and NBC for shoving them down our throat) is stronger and I don't want any good for them. They won it already not long ago, time for a completely new team to win the Cup and Sharks are well deserving. I just hope they can make it a proper battle.

Wife surprised me this morning when I woke up by saying she has made arrangements for us to go to Game 1 in Pittsburgh (didn't buy tix or hotel but took care of animal care, etc). After some discussion we decided to risk going to game 5 instead in the off chance we get to see the Cup presented. Thing is, Ticketmaster isn't even showing that there will be a Game 5 yet. I know General Public tix go on sale at 10 but there are seats available for sale for games 1 and 2 through their reseller part of the website. My question is, will they magically show up for game 5 at 10 or do I need to buy the tickets through stub hub? Thanks, I'll take my answer off the air.

They'll go on sale a day after game 4 at 10am est, unless there's a sweep. That's what they usually do, anyway. Last night's game was the loudest I've ever heard that building. It rivaled some of the insane crowds at the igloo. Just pure madness after the opening goal.

Stub Hub says that since the game isnt a certainty, they will refund the cost and fees if it doesn't happen. Need to figure out if I want to risk waiting for general public seats for game 5 or spend the money now
