Pens vs. Lightning - EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS

[12HankQB]

I'm going with Joe Starkey's Pens in 5.

I think its going to be a very fun series to watch for the casual hockey fan. Should be fast paced with tons of scoring chances and lots of action.

I'll take Pens in 6. Bishop is capable of making this very interesting but I don't think anyone in the NHL can withstand the constant onslaught of 4 lines the Pens can roll.

The Lightning beat the Pens 3 times, incl. 4-2 for "Hockeyville" night. They had Stamkos, we lost. Now there is no Stamkos, and we're rollin'. Pens, in 6.

TB did go 3-0 vs Pens in Regular Season, but the Hockeyville game wasn't 1 of those games, as it was a Preseason game. And, actually, the Pens won the Preseason game 4-2.

Idk why but the lightning have been super solid without stamos. Tyler johnson is the playoffs mvp so far. I picked pens for finals but im changing my mind here.

John Stamos is one hell of an actor.

Thanks, my bad.  Once in a while, confusion reigns, and I realized my mistake sometime later.

OT win was exciting...might be time to think about giving Murray a rest. Starting to give up soft goals. not badly, but untimely goals. I don't think Matta makes it through off season with Pens.

Yeah you know, because you always give up on a young kid after you sign him to a six year extension 3 months prior.   That and I doubt teams are going to / be able to take on that contract.  Good call Bill.
