Yep, I don't care if any other team wins it so long as those two teams suffer defeat.

You gotta admit it would been hilarious to see the Ducks go thermonuclear on the biggest stage.

Still only 4 teams have won the cup since 2009. Kings are part of that group. TWICE.
Pens win back-to-back with no #1 d-man and with horrible Corsi, proving everyone wrong all the way to the cup.

Corsi is just a tool, like all stats are.
It's not 100% definitive, Kings proved that last couple of seasons.

I 100% agree with you regarding Corsi. I always laugh at the people who are 100% for it and 100% against it. They don't realize that it's just a tool.
I think Pittsburgh 2009 and 2017 are the only two cup winning teams that weren't top 10 in Corsi during the regular season. I'm almost positive they were well under 50% during these playoffs too. They were around 42-44% in the Washington series I think and they only outshot Nashville twice in this series.

Must be nice to have two generational players fall into your lap in the span of a single generation.

Allow me to retort
But would it be wrong? they have two of the best players in the league. this team should have been in the conference finals every year since 2008.

Yup, they got severely hosed on that goal in the 2nd....horrible premature whistle.

How could Blake have known?
If they win another one in the next two years then I think its fair to call them a dynasty.
They also won in 2009, went to the finals in 2008 and the conf finals in 2013. It's been a pretty dominant decade.

Nah, they had a great run.
That call last night was absolute horse ****, they should have been ahead and then who knows what happens. We could be talking about a Game 7 this morning.
I honestly figured they had momentum going into Game 5 after holding serve in Nashville. I think that 2 day layoff hurt them more than it helped.
The atmosphere/crowd in Nashville was great to see throughout the Final and really the entire postseason. That city has really embraced the club in the last few seasons.

I still think the Pens win. You could look over to their side and they had some guys out as well, obviously Letang and then Bonino went down as well during the series (Game 4?).
Both teams were banged up. be interesting to see now that it's all said and done with, who was playing dinged up. You could certainly see Ellis was not 100% last night.
I'm impressed the Pens won back to back Cups with that defense corps. It's not the prettiest but it's effective. The pieces fit their system.

It was an idea. I didn't say it was a good idea.
Newsflash: One of the primary determinants of who succeeds and who fails in the NHL is health.
Pittsburg won. Can't take that away from them.
Another negative about Pittsburgh winning is that knob Hainsey getting his name on the cup. Can't stand that guy ever since the lockout.
I can't see it unless they shed cap. Didn't someone's postman's neice's boyfriend say that Perry might be moved?
