Well Nashville was a slight favorite and in a must win and did win.

So NSH + OVER 5' = enough money for some good seafood. Plus a lot of penalties to end the game.

Oh 50 times a team was up 2-0 and 45 times went on to win it all.

So now the Preds go back to the Burg all knotted up at 2 games a piece Thursday night. Usually I'd say get ready for some OT marathons? But I just don't see it coming with some of these snipers. Seems like, The last Goon that's still standing in front of the net may just take The Cup..Go Preds!!

Well 2-2 games in PIT/NSH/PIT I guess it's on!

....but I think throwing catfish on the ice is stupid and a cheap knockoff of throwing octopuses on the ice, also a stupid "tradition".

GO PENGUINS everywhere!

Well Pittsburgh technically falls in to my criteria. 1st I root for the Canadian teams when they are eliminated I will only root for a team in a city in which the water freezes. But still they are Pittsburgh

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Sidney Crosby is bringing the Stanley Cup back home to Pittsburgh for a second consecutive year.

Patric Hornqvist scored with 1:35 left and Matt Murray made 27 saves for his second straight shutout as the Penguins became the NHLs first team in nearly two decades to repeat as champions following a 2-0 win over the Nashville Predators in Game 6 on Sunday night.

The Penguins won their fifth title all of which have been clinched on the road to tie the Wayne Gretzky-Mark Messier-era Edmonton Oilers for sixth on the all-time list. The Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and `98 were the last champion to defend their title, but the Penguins are the first to do it in the salary cap era.

We knew it was going to be tough all year, but we just tried to keep with it, said Crosby, who won his second Conn Smythe Trophy as postseason MVP. We had a lot of injuries and things like that. We just kept finding ways. That was really what we did all season, all playoffs. Its great to be able to do it.

Hornqvist scored off Nashville goalie Pekka Rinnes left elbow to end the scoreless game. Nashville challenged for goalie interference, but the goal was upheld. With Rinne pulled for an extra attacker, Carl Hagelin set off a bench celebration with an empty netter with 13.6 seconds left.

Nashville lost for just the first time in regulation on home ice this postseason........

BEWARE OF THE PENGUINS!
