the ability to roll 3-4 good lines every ight is huge for pitt too. With Sid, Malkin, and Hot Dog, they can have a stud on every line for the top 9 if they so choose, and they do that at times. Having that HBK line is great for them.

oh well all aboard the Jumbo Joe train

Now I understand, that this may be less caused by own greatness but by your collective not-so-greatness, but that is how it is.

Just to summarize:
- A German (you know, that country when you mention hockey, everyone thinks of field hockey...)
- watched only German 2nd and 3rd div hockey until half year ago (hey, but at least they play on real fields, not those tiny holes)
- forced, under threat, to watch the 2nd half of the Habs season (okay, it makes it easier to get into it, watching about the same level as what I was used to)
- completely guestimating the bracket challenge

Yeah... That guy was still better than you. All of you! Shame on TL hockey!

Kessel's 5th overall in playoff scoring, 3rd in goals, doesn't make team USA. No Okposo or Tyler Johnson either. Meanwhile, Abdelkader was one of the first people added to the team. Ok then.

Alright, Sharks. Time to finish strong!

I think Sharks will win this in 6.

Maybe they want to wait on Kessel to see how he's feeling post Cup Finals? No Okposo really isn't that surprising. TyJo kinda is and Abdelkader just makes it because of his name or something I dunno got nothing for that one.

Bah, these games look like the Sharks playoff games of old -- bad brainfarts resulting in goals for the opposing team, while the Sharks continuously shoot the puck into the chest of the goalie. That doesn't even tell the whole tale, though, because the Pens' speed has clearly been problematic for the Sharks. Maybe the Sharks will win one more out of pride, but I think that they're done.

And goddamn, Marleau is brutal to watch. Zero finish whatsoever.
