Well, the Pens won yet another cup. This time back-to-back. That hasn't been done in the era of the salary cap. And in 19 years, since '98-99. Let's go Pens!!! :lol:

The Pens got very lucky on that quick whistle disallowing the Preds goal in the 2nd. Nashville showed no likelihood this series of winning a game 7 in Pittsburgh, but it sure would have been nice to find out. Oh well; good playoffs and entertaining finals.

Is this where I point out it's been 24 years since a Canadian team has won the Cup?

Ive been in Portugal until today and unable to access the site so wanted to say congrats to the Pens, 54. There were some questionable calls, but the way the predators played in Pittsburgh doomed them.

Can't say I'm not pretty disappointed though. Small market teams don't get many shots at championships and to be just 2 games away stings. Guess I'll have to wait another year for a championship for my teams/state :(

I don't understand the hate for the Pens in general and Sid in particular. The guy is totally a generational player. The best in the game right now. You might be able to argue that with me but not with everyone else (in hockey) who are pretty much in 100% agreement with that assessment (including Mike Milbury, who I am pretty sure hates the Pens). And I am not what you might call a bandwagon Pens fan. I have been following them since '75. And in those years there was not much to get up and shout about for Pens fans. But I must admit my vigilance has been rewarded...in spades.
