Series Thread: 2016-17 Stanley Cup Final Nashville Predators vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

[forty_three]

Such a likeable team! Would love to see Subban win it as an FU to Bergeron.

I keep seeing this, but has everyone forgot about Ryan Johansen also giving an FU to Tortellini?



(not to mention Forsberg and Leonsis - it would be awesome if Forsberg called a press conference on his day with the cup)

He's a smart one that Kunitz.

That's awesome! I'm hoping to make it to at least one game. Probably gonna have to settle for standing room tickets though. The Blackhawks/Blues/Ducks series ripped my wallet a new one!

Just looked. Appears all 3 games in Nashville are sold out

 

[BGDave]

Trying to figure out who will sing the anthems in Nashville.

Should be Country music royalty. Legends. Kelly Clarkson need not apply.

Right now I am hoping for:

Shania
Reba
and
Kenny Rogers/Dolly Parton duet for the Game 6 Championship game

With Garth Brooks on standby.

/sorry Vince Gill you can stay seated

I want to hear "The Star-Spangled Banner" sung to the melody of "Islands in the Stream"

There is a good chance that is how they would sing O Canada tho

There won't be 3

Wow, that's bold.

Nashville in 4 or 5, eh?

Even I wouldnt go that far.

The Preds consume the flightless fowl in 6 courses.

Maybe Shania will sing "Whose Bed Have Your Skates Been Under?" during an intermission.

Him and just him. Get a Canadian to sing the US national Anthem because he does it better than anyone.

Jeff Jimerson!

One of em is probably gonna be Ms. Underwood, no?

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

This series will go 7. ( I have game 7 tix)

I'm hoping the Pens can break Rinne. Nashville's D scares the bejeezus out of me.

Good luck to the Predators fans on here.

This series should not disappoint.

No way it goes 7 games....put me down for 5

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

God.....I remember that pic. .....it would be truly awesome to see Sid and Geno in the same pose. ...

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Would also be cheering for Preds if they were facing any other team. Such a likeable team! Would love to see Subban win it as an FU to Bergeron.

Over / under until I hate them? 2 minutes into Game 1? First Neal shift?

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

Sorry for the double post. ....but. ....James Neal is not exactly the most loveable guy in the NHL

 

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

One of em is probably gonna be Ms. Underwood, no?

After this series. ...I can see Mrs. Carrie Underwood-Malkin...

 

[Bridgeburner]

The best thing about back to back titles for the Pens is going to be all the butthurt haters out there.

I know how the Patriots feel.

 

[averagejoe]

I have no horse in this race.
Don't really care for either team.

But just comparing the series thus far, it seems the Preds are faster. They pass better coming out of the defensive zone also. Something that Ottawa was not doing well. I see the Preds having the edge.

But those pukey yellow sweaters are hideous.
