We have the capability to make San Jose's first Cup Champion.

The Sharks could be that Champion.

Well if the games keep going the way the first two did I feel like it's inevitable we'll start cracking Andy more often. But I suppose Caps fans said the same thing last round about us and welp.

If the series goes the way the first game went, I'd say the same about MAF. Who has a .965 after 2 games, If it goes the way of the second (especially the second half of the) game then welp.

The 2 games were basically total opposites... Sens dominated the Pens in game 1 but couldn't solve Fleury, and then the Pens did the same to the Sens in game 2. I have no idea what to expect for game 3.

He did skate today.

pens adjusted to sens system in game 2. not sure sens can adjust their own system too much, if the game opens up at all the pens will light em up mup mup. also the sens didn't dominate game 1, the play was relatively even, maybe slightly in favor of sens

I really didn't feel that way at all. I know they had more shot attempts in game 1 but outside of a few dangerous rush chances I didn't feel like they had great zone time or many threatening chances. Felt like they just chucked it on net the minute they got over the line with it unless it was Karlsson carrying the puck in which case he almost created a goal half the time because fucker is too good.

But I suppose you could also accurately say that the Pens had a ton of zone time tonight but not a lot of high quality chances either.

I'm sure someone can post a chart that proves me wrong but those are my :eye test: observations.

I don't think the Sens have another game that bad in them this series, but they proved me wrong against NY when I thought that, so who knows.

Having Karlsson out versus whoever the hell they please. Getting more powerplays because it's a home game and scoring on them
