Nice to see the Sharks eek one out to continue the series. They probablty won't win, but I love how they are sticking with it. I think the Conn Smythe race is wide open. Murray has let in too many soft goals IMO. Kessel? sure he's playing well but only has 22 points. Couture is playing and would be the front runner if the Sharks could pull off a miracle, edging out Pavelski by a slim margin.

Just read that as well.

It's going to get worse and worse, as there are plenty of actors/athletes that are getting up there in years......always sad to hear/read about loss of life, regardless of who it is, but hopefully and thankfully, we can reflect on some great memories.

The desperation was definitely there for the Sharks last night, glad that I didn't drop a couple grand on tickets

Now they need to win it on the road like they have every other time

^ I knew that the Canadian media voters weren't going to give the Conn Smythe to Phil, but Sid was a worthy recipient as well

They cheated. Something about deflated something rather, somewhere at some point. I'm sure of it. I just have to find some evidence now.

Sid was the easy winner since he was all around solid during their run.

Ovie is sitting in Russia PISSED..

Congrats to the Pens!

Personally as a hockey fan though I was extremely dissapointed in Crosby getting the MVP. Not because I have anything against him but I thought personally Murry, Kessell, or Bonino all deserved it more from having watched all of the Pens game throughout the playoffs.

He was one of our best all around players, Murray would have been a good candidate as well, but aside from Johnny Quick, goalies haven't wont the CS trophy much in the last few decades. Sid is a great leader and it was well deserved.

I've got a ton of respect for Crosby. He's a great ambassador for the game.
