I really have no clue but I think the edge might go to Nashville. They will play an Ottawa style game but with a WAAAAYYYY better defensive group. They also have two guys in Neal and Forsberg who can snipe, Ottawa didnt really have that.

They are also much better rested than the Pens. Only advantage I can see is the Pens are much better at Centre and they have Sullivan as coach.

Can you really talk bad about pens fans when sens fans didn't sell out game 6 of the ecf? All fans are homers, that's the fun of sports

Is this coming from the team that had its fans quit on them because they were not winning. They were about to close the doors in Pitts!! Until u got a double gift of Crosby Malkin and Fleury within 2 years. You started winning and then decided to show up again.

You were so right on here until that very last three words. "Sullivan as coach". As good as he is, Laviolette is better. He may be one of the best ever "Playoff Coaches". He is great during the season but give him a few days to plan out a best of seven series and he's almost untouchable. He could take his team and beat you then turn around and take your team and beat his. The Preds have played three series against supposedly much better teams and beat each one with a completely different style. That will be the difference.

Cant imagine the Preds will be able to hang with the Pens considering there first line center is out, second line center is hurt but may play. They will be playing against the best 2 line center combination in hockey right now, i just cant see a way for them to handle Crosby, Malkin and company with the injuries they have.

Great series and great hockey. I would have liked the Sens to make it but what
happens happens. I wouldn't bet against the Defending Champs but hope the Preds can take it.

great series the pens deserved the win but wow what a bunch of moron fans; boo's on clear cut icing calls and a puck that didn't even come close to going in. even the accouncers tried to justify the reactions, I couldn't help but face palm on some of those crowd responses, just embarrassing and they might even challenge Montreal for the leagues most clueless fans. But in the end the pens won and honestly deserved too, just a little disappointing that fans that dense get to cheer on the pens in the final. great team tho don't get me wrong. great series guys

What? They know their sh!t. Dumb comment.

Also, the Fans were looking at it on a jumbo-tron and probably only saw it once...even on my 60 inch 4k tv that was 10 feet in front of me it looked like it went up and under. Getting to watch the replay more than once though you could start to see it wasnt.

Sens took Pens to game 7, so what makes you think Preds (who beat out the west to make it in the SCF) can't hang with Crosby and Malkin. Might as well hand them the cup right now if that's the case. Why even play?

Id love to see the preds win, im just concerned that with the injuries it will be a challenge for Jarnkrok to play most of his shifts head to head against Crosby/Malkin and contain them. You really cant tell me you like that match up...

Preds in 6. The Preds D and goalie are nothing like anything in the East. Sure, they have centers missing, but Lavy owns the Pens and the D will step up to slow down Crosby and Malkin.
