Fabulous Fleury!!!

Choose them for the Cup 3 or 4 years ago...never again, man.

Go Sens!

I still think that the Preds will Lift it but boy, it will be a tough one against Anaheim.

To see Subban disembark in Montréal with the Cup could be quite amusing.

The heart's with the Sens, though.

Although a Pens fan, I really thought this was the year of the Caps, but alas the curse continues (thought I heard some colorful metaphors flying through the air from Micky when the game was over :). I wonder if there is a shakeup coming in the Caps core?

Of course would like to see the Pens go back to back, but would not bother me if the Preds took the cup.

Rumour has it either either Ovechkin or Backstrom won't be back next year. I personally don't think that will happen but if I'm the Caps GM, I'd check the options to get rid of Ovechkin. It's necessary if they ever want to get past the 2nd round. I guess the decision will be in the owner's hands, after all it's him who gave that 13 year contract to Ovechkin. He doesn't particularly want to win, he prefers attracting people to his stadium with a star like Ovechkin which is understandable. Trade the guy against one top 2 D-man and a top 6 forward and the team could be scary. Will be a hell of a hard trade to make though.

Now I think only Anaheim can possibly have a chance to stop Pittsburgh. Nashville might beat the Ducks but I don't see them coming out on top of Pittsburgh. I say Pittsburgh wins the whole thing (and that's coming from a guy who used to profoundly dislike the team) against Anaheim in the finals although I wish for Ottawa or Nashville to win.

I don't know about you guys but for me the playoffs are not what they used to be. For some weird reason the best teams cannot keep up with the weaker but hungrier ones. Not necessarily a bad thing but honestly it makes the final two rounds relatively uninteresting to have 4 teams in semi-finals among which only one (Anaheim) has a rightful spot in terms of balance. 2014 was the last good playoff year as far as I'm concerned. Some of the greatest series I've ever seen that year, NYR vs Pittsburgh, Montreal vs Boston, Anaheim vs Los Angeles were crazy good series. Not to mention the phenomenal Kings run, coming back from 0-3 to win it in 7 against San Jose, and then winning in 7 against Anaheim and Chicago to lift the cup in the finals. Wow, just remembering makes me excited. I hope the last 3 years were just bad ones and that awesome playoff hockey will be back next year.

Go preds go!

How'd they fall to the eighth seed?

Yeah, a well-fought 7th game.

Good work Pens and many clappies to the Sens.

Would have liked to have seen the Sen's in the final, I just find Pittsburgh teams irritating, except their woeful baseball team.
