Seems like there is no other way for the Pens. Beats the alternative!

Our goalie’s better. :-) And taller.

Good series by the Predators and Rinne, but Murray comes up big in games 5 and 6 for the Pens.

Congrats Pens and fans. You had the better hockey team but the Preds had the better band. Here’s hoping for the Wings to make the playoffs next year.

Nashville is a great team. I expect they will be back again next year.

Congrats to the Penguins, 2 Stanley Cups, I think they’ve left their mark on history. Congrats to their fans as well and congrats to Nashville who had one whale of a postseason.

Congratulations. Your pens were the better team. Yeah, I cried, I really wanted the Preds to at least win tonight. They had a great season and a great run.

With the salary caps it is a huge sacrifice for greats like Crosby to perfect a Stanley Cup winning team two years in a row. I get that and admire the Pens for that. Murray was on FIRE tonight and I have great admiration for him.

Just when I think I can’t go months with no hockey, it breaks my heart most years here at the end so I need a break from my favorite sport just to heal! I got to live in Cup town for two recent years when the Kings won and that was amazing and special. So I should shut up and not complain.

I love that Cup and was smiling through my tears when the players hoisted and did their skate.

I watched the replay many times. I think it would have been a no goal anyway. Forsburg’s foot hooked Murray's right leg and pulled him to his right leaving the left side wide open. You can never be sure, but I think it prevented Murray from playing the puck. Just my opinion and pretty moot at this point. Go Pens!

I just watched and you’re right!

Could have been called goalie interference.

W Sox half a game off the worst record in the AL.

Cubs a game under .500 but only 1.5 off the division cause it sucks.

Murray had a great series. He should have won the Conn Smythe.
