Seems like they won in 6 games. Not even 7. Maybe Nashville should have won the games where they brutally outplayed the Penguins.

I'm just sayin'...

This is incredible. I don't even care that it required absurd amounts of luck and ridiculous PDO. gently caress it all. So happy.

This is the worst team to win a Stanley Cup right? They got outplayed for the majority of their playoff games.

I actually have to agree that this is the luckiest Cup run I have ever seen by any team. If the 03 Ducks had won the Cup that's the only thing I can even remember that would be close.

I wasn't surprised at all when the Caps somehow managed to poo poo all over themselves against the Penguins because that's what the Caps have been doing since the Reagan administration. But I can't believe this loving Letang-less team playing Hainsey and Maatta 20 minutes a game won the loving Stanley Cup.

Well I guess it's a good thing I'm done with the NHL right as the season ends, so I can sucker myself into watching this garbo again next year.

Amazing hockey of the Final overshadowed by everything else. Here's hoping Pens fans can recognize how hosed everything looks to non-fans but congrats yinzer scum

A horrifically bad call but the Preds also had like 5 PPs including a 5 on 3. Not like the refs didn't give them every chance. That's to say nothing of the Pens not getting a pp either.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

If you're not willing to lick the boot, then really why are you in politics lol? Everything is a cycle of just getting stomped on so why do you want to lose to it over and over, just submit like me, I'm very intelligent.
If Elway can win it, anyone on these Predators can win it. And I hope they do
