Who is your pick in the Stanley Cup Hockey Finals to win it all

Commander Wallace · 05-29-17, 11:16 PM

There are now 2 teams left from the original 16 that started the NHL playoffs. As I expected, The Pittsburgh Penguins and the Nashville Predators are battling for the Stanley cup and the right to be called the best in the National Hockey League for another year.

The Penguins got things rolling by winning game 1 of the best of 7 series, 5-3.

Who do you think will win the series and how many games will it take ?

Well the Penguins are going to have to play better than they did tonight.
More lucky than good.

37 1/2 minutes without a shot on goal.
Only 12 shots on goal all night but 5 of them went in. What a percentage.

Nashville looked pretty good just not very lucky.

I agree with you. Nashville was on the move in the 3rd period, overcoming a 3-0 deficit. I don't think I could call this series. You don't get to the finals unless you are good or just very lucky or maybe a little of both.

I think it will come down to sheer determination and who wants it more. I still think in the end, the Penguins will repeat but it will take 7 games. Either way, I think Hockey fans got to see some great hockey throughout the playoffs in addition to the last 2 teams playing for the cup.

Nashville in 7.

As I expected, the Pittsburgh Penguins have won the Stanley cup for the 2nd year in a row. The Stanley cup signifies the best in the National Hockey league. The Penguins were incredibly resilient, overcoming devastating loses yet remaining the gritty, determined and talented hockey team that they are.

No matter what team you were cheering on, there was a lot of great hockey for those who are fans of the sport. Hopefully, The Detroit Red Wings will have a better year as well next season.

Congratulations to the 2017 NHL Hockey Champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Best game of the series tonight.
Towards the end of the second period I was saying "Next goal wins."
Turns out to have been true.

Congrats Penguins.
