2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs

@LHoffman:

Dallas’ defense and/or goaltending has been disturbingly porous in the Minnesota series. They allowed even more goals than I thought they would, and I thought they would allow a few. Chicago and St. Louis are much tighter defensively and much more talented than Minnesota offensively. I don’t see Dallas besting either team. But it should be entertaining. I am a fan of Jamie Benn and Co.

Yes, it was disturbing for sure, but it is my team, so I got to pull for them. :-D

Ha. Well that was fast.

They should have done it before the third period of game seven. What an overrated coach… there are many great coaches out there that would have won if they had the king of star power he has enjoyed in Washington and Anaheim. Buyer beware on this guy.

Looks like SJ and Pitts are starting to hit their groove(s)…

That would be a pretty good Finals Series

I definitely agree. Besides San Jose going I don’t really care too much who from the East makes it. In Pool terms, it would be better for me if it is Tampa. However, I would rather see Pittsburgh go on a personal level. I just have really come to dislike Tampa Bay. More so than Pittsburgh.

At this point, the Blues would be my choice to win it all as I think their history in the League deserves it, and it would be good for the hockey culture in St. Louis. However, that would be a tall order to get past SJ and than maybe to face Pitt.

I actually really like St. Louis and think it would be great, as you said, considering their history and for their fans if they finally won.

However, I also like the Sharks a lot. They haven’t been around as long as a franchise, but there are a number of different compelling reasons that people would like to see them win. Thornton and Marleau having never one a cup and being in the later stages of their careers. And the fact that this team has been so hyped in the past, but always failed to deliver. It would be a feel good story for sure.

If the West Champ goes on to win the Cup, whoever that is, I will be happy.

I second this, I want either one to win, for these reasons.

Congratulations to all Pittsburg Penguin fans for their Stanley Cup championship.

such great hockey, sad to see it end.  :-(

Maybe next year I will put some real skin into the game (pool) since I have a good feeling how it works now.

Labron is still playing on Thursday…

TROLL!

I think LeBron is playing… I have no idea who LaBron is.

It’s his brother

TROLL!

Long suffering Penguins fans get to enjoy another cup. In exchange they can never be granted a number one pick no matter how badly they tank. Deal?

Sorry I was so late sending my payment, hope you got it now DFL.

@General:

Sorry I was so late sending my payment.

I would like to echo that apology, sent mine today… sorry for being so late. Next year please set up email transfer with your bank, you won’t regret it.
