Pre-Game Talk: THE STANLEY CUP FINAL | Penguins vs. Predators | Pens Lead Series 3-2

6 hours till puck drop

One more thought.

The oft cited trope is that venue doesn't matter in game seven.

Which is fine.

But if that is true why would venue matter in game six if it also is a potential cup winning game?

I fail to see the difference.

 

[mrwirez]

the people in that picture look like they have no clue what that is.

Man... It's great seeing the Stanley Cup on the way!

I'm getting fired up, yet queasy at the same time. Now there's a big ole knot in my gut that just tightened up a bit...

I should probably know this stuff, but does anyone know which ring would the 91 & 92 Pens be on?

How many winning teams are on each ring? I can remember rings being removed for a new ones, once or twice in the past.

Go Pens!

So they sold out 18K+ seats inside the arena for the watch party and they're moving the big screen to the old Igloo spot in anticipation of crowd size - I would guess they're going to get 28K people down there watching easily. Plus Pride is going on downtown today, there's a Pirates home game, there's a show at Stage AE and it's the closing day of the Arts Festival at the Point.

If you're going downtown or to the South Side today, godspeed.

I have 2 tickets for the viewing party inside PPG paints arena that I need to get rid of: Section 228 row A. Apparently all my friends have real jobs and can't be out on a Sunday that late. I'll take best offers. Can xfer with the ticketmaster app or can walk in with you. Whatever.

I think he goes by "Tony" and wears gold chains.

"Went" and "wore." I'm pretty sure none of those guys lived past 1999, because doing so would violate some sort of time paradox.

Game is in NSH stadium plus we just blew out the Preds. We will lose this one guys

You say they'll lose every one. I think I'll put more trust in predictions from people who didn't have them going 0-41-41 and didn't give them a 0% chance of winning the Cup.

 

[The Old Master]

oh ye of the negative vibes...go pen's!

I'm on to you. You're IC and you're employing a reverse jinx. You just can't bear to post under your mandated Lovejoy name.

5 hours to go

Best get yourself off to the pub then

No one here knows what will happen, but based on your short but brilliantly wrong "analysis" to this point, I feel just a bit better about tonight now.

As a police officer, I would be dreading today in Pittsburgh. Large events are a nightmare, let alone several of them....then if we win, oh boy.

 

[Shrimper]

The boys know what needs to happen. End it tonight, enough is enough

 

[Jaded-Fan]

They were $10, all proceeds to charity. So $180000 plus, and profits from concessions and year sold.

I'll watch on my cell in the car if needed. The whole neighborhood is out of electricity and I don't feel like going somewhere from my place.

I am playing soccer at 6 and will watch the game in my car on my cell of the power isn't back.

 

[Coach Travis]

Sounds like the Preds are in a no-win situation with Ryan Ellis. If he plays he's one solid clean body check away from putting his team down to 5 D.

Maybe sit Scrabbles and play Ellis and Bitetto?
