The Sharks definitely got the better of the Blues in the regular season but both of their wins were in February when the team was all messed up by injuries and whatnot. The Blues REALLY took advantage of crappy defensemen in the first two round and they're not going to get that this time.

...I'd much rather be playing Nashville.

This but also anyone but Pittsburgh because both cities have a debt to pay back to the world for unleashing Cardinals fans and yinzers on it.

Pens first, if not them then Jumbo and Awkward Pat.

The secret to success is firing your coach toward the beginning of the season and also having Crosby, Malkin, and Letang.
Also I'm a bit hurt that I wasn't in your list Wonderllama.

Now you're on my list.

The list of people who hurt my feelings.

Yeah I'm conflicted because yinzer fans are bad and dumb but half my family is from western PA and there are some OK Pens fans on here and also Hornqvist is cool.

If Florida could have made it this would have been the perfect set of conference finalists (actually Nashville managing to finish top 4 in their division and emerging as the finalist versus San Jose would be true paradise) but this is a pretty awesome set of teams and pretty much any Cup champion will be a great result (for me, as a Pens fan, at least).

If the Pens do manage to outlast the Lightning and Western team, then a great silver lining for the people who dislike Pitt could be a Phil Kessel Conn Smythe and all of the tweets that will inundate Steve Simmons.

And if the Pens get knocked out, then I really hope that Marleau gets the Conn and someone at NBC sends Roenick down to interview him on the ice. Or Jumbo Joe gets it, that would be a lovely way to dismiss all those idiots who questioned leadership and toughness and whatnot over the years.


Hmm, guess I've just ensured a Lightning-Blues finals, welp.

Still better than android clock

My dog died long before the race even started so I'm going to cheer for a series longer than four games, during which Healy and Cherry and JR all say a bunch of dumb poo poo, a guy gets hurt but plays anyway, and the winner is decided by the players instead of the refs.

Go that thing I said and also gently caress the Penguins for no reason other than that it's fun to hate somebody who's doing better than you.

Go Sharks, Thornton and Pavelski need a Cup to cement their place in the HoF.

Go Penguins/Bolts, I don't really care. It'd be cool for Kessel to get his, plus another for Crosby and Malkin could use another. Plus it'd ensure MAF hilarity. I also don't really care about anyone on Tampa's roster except Stamkos, and he's hurt. If he plays it'd be cool for him to get a Cup.

Booooo Blues. Between Stastny, Shattenkirk and Elliot, it's like what the Avs could've been, and that hurts to think about.

Also, if Stamkos can't come back, who lifts the Cup first? An alternate? Did he come out just wearing a jersey?

I will cheer for the penguins, because maybe, just maybe, if Kessel wins the stanley cup, he will take it to steve simmons house with a pile of hot dogs and spend the day.

Otherwise, go sharks, with Thorton scoring 4 goals and celebrating

Stamkos will come out but he'll be wearing a leafs jersey and everyone will be embarrassed and confused

Did you know that one of the country's largest concentration of white nationalists is in California? If you think that most cities aren't incredibly racist, you are sadly mistaken about the state of racism in America.

I am also 100% sure that guy is from Jefferson County (which is like 45-60 minutes away from St. Louis) or some place in Illinois.

Anyways, I am really hoping Hitch doesn't dress Ott more than one game in this series, but I have a feeling he'll start him the first couple and Ott will take a bunch of dumb penalties.

EDIT: Not sure if you're really dense or joking, but that poll is incredibly fake and says so in it.
