Stanley Cup Final: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators

[rataylor22]

So if Pitts wins this series does this mean having high end, top flight Centre's is more important than having high end, top flight Dmen to win championships? 'Cuz Pitts has one, but not the other. And Nsh.. the complete opposite (sorry Fisher). they say Defence wins championships... maybe in hockey, they're wrong. Maybe Centres win championships??

I'd more say it's the fact that Nashville's center depth is way worse than Pittsburgh's defense depth. Nashville's top 4 are all better than Pittsburgh's D, but Pittsburgh still have some solid 3/4 guys. Dumoulin, Maatta, Schultz, Daley aren't all stars, but they're still solid second pairing players.

By comparison, Fisher and Sissons probably wouldn't beat out Bonino for the 3C duties in Pittsburgh. Might not even beat out Cullen for 4C duties.

Guentzel's 2nd goal was a nasty rebound he put directly into a primary scoring area. That one's his fault. Rebound control. The own goal (2nd of the series) and Malkin's shot.. no chance... well maybe a bit tighter on the five hole and he keeps it 2-1. Still not giving him full blame on a puck he believed to be safely in front of him

Both of Guentzel's goals were terrible. That first one was awful for Rinne to let in.

Series so far reminds me a lottttttttttttttt of 2009 when Wings went up 2-0 at home. Although I'd argue Detroit carried that series more than Pittsburgh has this one.

But as ED says....it's far from over. Look at what Washington did against Pitt.

Lose?

Did Subban guarantee a win in Game 3?

And I think hockeyrobot's point was that Washington came back from a 2 game deficit in the series.... but some people have a better memory than others and they will make that known

Yes thank you....that's obviously what I meant.

I knew exactly what you meant...and everyone with a hockey sense would have known what you meant... some people just choose to take it a different route.

But anyways... Subban has doubled down on his guarantee for Game 3!

It was very clear what he meant.

It also was irrelevant to the end result.

Thanks for proving my point!

I cannot wait to see who is singing the national anthem for Game 3 on Saturday... I am hoping they bring out George for game 3 and Garth for game 4.... that would pump the fans and the team up!

Go Preds!

If they're down 3-0 Garth Brooks singing Friends in low places before Game 4 would be fitting

Where the whiskey drowns and there beer chases
My blues away and I'll be OK

heh...

Well its not a secret anymore.... https://www.nhl.com/news/former-nash...?tid=287345494

Good one!

And then he can re-write the 3rd verse....

Well I guess I was wrong
We just don't belong
But then, we've been there before
And everything is alright
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey I didn't mean to cause a big scene
Just wait 'til I've finished this glass
Then Crosby the baby,
we'll head back to the bar
And the Pens can kiss my ass!

Underline words are my edits.

Love the song choice by the predators late in this blowout game!

'Didn't I, Didn't I, Didn't I see you you crying!'

We we have a series, Josi had an awesome game! Go preds!!

[The Comish]

was cool to hear the chants, couldnt make out wat they were saying tho.

[Atomic Wedgy]

Game on.

[hockeyrobot]

I like the "It's All your fault" chant to Murray. What a great atmosphere.

When they score a goal, they count the number of goals scored "That's one, that's two...", followed by, "he shoots, he scores, you suck. Muurrrr....rraaaayyy. Murrrrr.....rraaaayyy. Murrr.....rraaaayyy. You suck. It's all your fault. It's all your fault. It's all your fault."
