    I have the Preds in 6 in a bracket that can win me money, so I'm sticking with that (even though I didn't have them against Pittsburgh in it).
    Fisher being back would help?

    My heart wants Nashville to win so that PK can get a championship, causing a total meltdown of the Quebec media.

    My brain thinks Pittsburgh is the better team at this time.

    Preds in 7. Pittsburgh's experience might be enough to win them the extra game. But I feel like this is the year for Nashville.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Pens in 7. They just beat a team with a goalie that has played as well as Rinne and likely faced more difficult shots. They have also demonstrated resiliency and are battle-tested.

    Very interesting match-up - a team with no centres versus a team with no defense.

    I'm worried Pittsburgh might be a little too banged up at this point. Washington was a punishing series for them and they struggled against the Senators defensive system because of it. I think it's going to be difficult for them to do it again against a better team this time. I took the Predators in 6.

    Pens in 6. The Preds are playing great but without their top line C their bubble has to burst sometime and I think it will. PIT's lack of health and mobility on the blueline is a real issue, though. Guentzel has also hit a wall. If PIT had Letang, they would have beaten Ottawa and Washington in 5 or 6 adn would take this series easily, but without him, they have to fight really hard to get the puck out. I can't wait to watch.

    Also, I wonder if in copycat form, NHL teams will change their colours to some combination of black, white or grey and yellow.

    having Schultz & Daley back helps this quite a bit. Without Schultz, Daley, Letang it was really awful and they still found ways to win. With Hornqvist being a GTD last night, one would expect him to be ready to go Monday as well.

    As much Nsh D likes to push the play up the ice & Pitts run and gun style...man this could turn into one of the most exciting finals in recent memory. If the lid wasn't off of Arvidsson before, it will be now. His price tag is about to go up.

    Good luck to us both.
    Pengs Pengs wins the Dobber NHL.com Bracket Challenge if the Preds win (I believe I was only entrant of 100+ to take Preds to win Cup).
    As a betting realist, I'd take the Pens in 6 - and would hedge that Vegas pegs that as most common pick.

    This series could very well finally shed light on a franchise building question.

    What's more important to win a #1C and strong depth down the middle, or 1D and strong depth on the blue line

    So it is going to come down to goal-tending, isn't it?

    goaltending is the one spot I don't think either team has a distinct advantage over the other. Vet vs. Newb, but both high end.
