So who's gonna win ?
Will the Preds feast on Penguin ?
Or, will the Pens repeat,, first team to do so since the 97-98 Wings

What do you think ?

im going to say the Preds are going to take it, but should be a good series:)

The better team is NOT going to win! Pittsburg has too much luck/momentum on their side and are going to win. You heard if here first at 10:10 pm est! :)

Bettman using his superior skills of predetermined outcomes in the NHL to sell MORE tickets, has injected "Reality Show DRAMA" into the NHL.
I only watched a few games during the entire playoffs, and the outcome of each series was 99% predictable, you could set your watch by the bad officiating on ice.
The NHL is a National joke!

That was an awesome game,, played in an awesome city ,, at the same time as, by coincidence, the western festival
which tied in nicely with Stanley Cup fever ..... good on Nashville to combine the both and make it one huge party !!

I certainly hope they come back again next year and make a go of it again !!

[sonicmario]

yup was a good series Nashville really embraced the game of hockey, it was a awesome festival every time the preds played at home, I dislike then penguins but what can you do they were the better team also a bit lucky lol, and with that the 16/17 season is over now on to the Draft, trades, and free agency, should be a fun summer!!!

Who here would of thought 20 years ago a hockey team from Nashville Tenn. (the American South) would be in the NHL Stanley Cup finals?:noidea:

[dishuser]

why have 2 refs if one is going to blow the whistle cause he's in a bad position
stealing that goal from the preds changed the whole game

Yea I agree the other ref should of been on the other side to see the puck was still loose of Murrays pad...

[TLG]

Those things happen all the time ,, just like the Sens goal that didn't count cause the ref was in the "process" of blowing the whistle

It's a 60 minute game and one "five second" play doesn't determine the outcome

The truth is ,, the better team won and the right MVP was crowned

he was
so the other ref should have relied on him to make the call

don't buy it
it was decided by bad officiating
for a team that wasn't supposed to get through first round they had pens number
too bad bettman has mario's

yep well I remember them huddling around talking to each other, but what TLG said about being in the process to blow the whistle must of been the reason why they called it no goal :noidea:

no the whistle was blown
by the idiot ref who was on wrong side
other ref had clear vision of puck not being covered

These are professional sports ,,, where there are different play books for different situations
A team plays a different game when there's a tie, a different game when they're behind and a different game when they're in front.
That's the difference between professional sports a garage teams.

So even if the goal counted, it wouldn't guarantee a win ,, which is why a "5 second play" doesn't decide a 60 minute game

and like you said a team that scores can also have momentum unlike playing a tie game

[TLG]

Yeup ,,, we agree on that one

[dishuser]

plus hornquist probably only only played 5 seconds...lol

[TLG]

He was playing injured ,,, both teams had injuries
It's impossible to play 4 rounds of playoff hockey and not get bruised and battered
Hockey players are their own breed ,,, those guys are hurting today bud ,,, and they're awful happy it's finally over !!

That's why they hit the golf course in the summer ,,, golf is a no contact sport .... LOL
