Go Sharks.
I am not dead set on anyone winning this. May the best team win. But I started to really want this matchup in the finals, so I already WON. I predict we are going to see some AMAZING HOCKEY.
I really admire the Sharks this playoff season. I am programmed to hate them, but I am softening because they deserve to be where they are.
I have zero experience watching the Pens except for these last playoff series. At first I was wondering what the fuss about them was about. Now I see their strengths and what they are capable of when they are “on.”
Like I said, this is going to be great hockey!!!!
Good for all you Penguin & Shark fans. Your teams have earned the right to play for the Cup. My team fell short (Rangers-again) and I have been rooting for the hated Penguins since my guys went out. They earned my full respect this playoff season.
Man it was hard to print what I just said.
There is a party going on here with thousands of people outside the arena.Lot’s of Sharks fans too. Fun atmosphere inside, This place to exploded when the teams hit the ice for warm-ups. Good luck and no injuries!
GREAT GAME! Only three to go.
I love the play-offs this year, even though my team got bounced.
My Hershey Bears are in the Calder Cup Finals.
Game 1 is tonight in Hershey.
So I will be at the game watching Hershey and listening to Pittsburgh.
“It’s a great day for hockey!”
““It’s a great day for hockey”
You must be a racist. Hockey is a white sport.
(That accusation was actuallly hurled at me once)
.
LOL! There are always a few idiots looking to start an argument.
Just ignore them.
“You must be a racist. Hockey is a white sport.” My reply to that would be “You don’t watch hockey do you?”
The hockey is a white sport thing seems regional. Here in western PA all (pro) sports are pretty much supported by everyone since the area has a small town like mentality (Black people here call sports talk shows to complain when the Pens are losing). I understand DC is like that too (black guy letting an out of towner know that “Washington is a Caps town”)
“It’s a great day for hockey!”
I have a t-shirt that says that and you know what , It Is!
This is such an exciting series. I hope it goes to 7 games.
Great game! A Crosby planned play to close it out. NHL BTTT!
Crosby has been an absolute beast. The best player on the ice by a mile but his game is one that people in the arena don’t notice. (Paul Coffey was there, I’m sure he noticed.) The place was rocking again with what looked like 10,000 people outside.
The Sharks look like they did playing the western conference teams. They haven’t turned up the extra gear needed for the Stanley Cup round. I expect they will when the series starts up again Sat. in San Jose.
Sharks win in OT. We got ourselves a series.
