The next best thing to seeing the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup final is seeing the Ducks not in the final. Particularly that prick garbage man Corey Perry.

How about the #16 team making the Cup finals. As a Habs fan, I am ashamed to admit that I was rooting for the Preds to beat the Ducks. Meanwhile, there is a barn burner in the East. 7th game between the Pens and the Sens. I hope the Senators move on to the final, but whoever wins should win the Stanley Cup.

When they swept the Blackhawks in the first round I honestly didn't remember the Predators looking anywhere near that good during the regular season. When they won the Blues series I felt the would at least go to the finals...maybe win it all. I don't know if they can do it without Johansen, Fiala and Fisher.

And then there were 2.

Predictions for the Cup final?

I say Pens in 5, but 4 of them will be by 1 goal or an empty netter.

And Pekka Rinne could still win the Conn Smythe trophy

Totally weird game 1. Biggest mystery to me is how they disallowed the Subban goal. Yes, he (was it Forsberg?) preceded the puck over the blue line, but the key is POSSESSION. You can drag the puck over the line after you and you are still on sides. They somehow ruled he did not have possession of the puck. Something of a strange call to me, and that play definitely changed the course of the game.

So much for my "Pens in 5" prediction. Only took 4 games to prove me wrong. What I've heard about the Preds being hard to beat at home is looking to be true. Now we really have a series.

Whatever happened to the Predators in the first two games in Pittsburgh is all over. They look like the team that swept the Blackhawks in these last two.

Forgot to mention how well my other predictions are doing - 4 of 5 games by 1 goal or an empty netter, and Pekka Rinne for the Conn Smythe.

After 5 games, the AVERAGE winning margin is 3.6 goals, and as for the Conn Smythe............

Anyone want to buy a sure thing lottery number from me?

Congratulations to The Penguins.

Congrats to the Pens, you deserved it. Congrats to the Preds for a great run, some might say you were robbed. Not my teams, but a good Stanley Cup year anyway.

Let's see where the Cup winds up this year. In past Pittsburgh years it's been found at the bottom of Mario Lemieux's swimming pool and in bed with Sidney Crosby. Top that, Pens.
