First off, Happy Memorial Day to all and please remember those who have died fighting for our freedom. It will be East Coast vs. West Coast on the Stanley Cup finals tonight as the Sharks come to PA to take on the Penguins. Who do you have coming out as the winner? Let's hear who you think.

If penguins play like they did against my lightning, them in 5.
...Have you watched how the sharks have been playing?..Sharks in 6!! Sharks D is at full force and held the past 3 teams top scorer to a combined 3 goals...Penguins lost one of their top D men, and the sharks are firing on all cylinders and all lines have great scoring potential..Its their year this time! Crosby can go cry in a corner!

While I have not watched every minute of the Sharks series, I did see every minute of pit/Tpa and when you outshoot opponent by over 100 shots in the series, your gonna win games. I don't see that changing. But your right, Crosby can go cry in the corner!

Penguins in 5 or 6... too much speed for the Sharks to handle imo.
Would agree....I see the Sharks taking a lot of penalty minutes now also.....they were very frustrated with the Pens speed resulting in many almost penalties called......refs wont let that continue and will most likely start to call them. If the Sharks though start to use their size and apply a heavy hard fore check...things may go differently.....just don't know if they can get the bodies on the Penguins.

I am really disappointed in the Sharks. Hope for a better series than this.

I agree..hopefully home ice will help turn it around. But they need to get back to playing how they did vs the blues..gotta keep more pressure in the other zone and play their game. Granted 2, 1 goal games isnt exactly getting beat up, if it wasnt for great play from their goalie those games would have been further apart than 1 goal

Goals differential doesn't tell the story. They've been dominated. Goalie has been great for sharks. Think of it as the pens have 400 yards of offense but only kicked three field goals and sharks had 127 yards of offense but punched it in for a TD once.

Ya. .I agree. If it wasn't for Jones the scores would have been larger for the pens..I've been a sharks fan since I started playing hockey 20 years ago. .I'm just hoping they at least make it a good series at this point. I'm well aware of their track record with choking in the playoffs. At least they made it to the finals this time haha
