So happy for the Knights. :)

Here's hoping the Penguins can get back on their game tonight.

I hope the Penguins lose as we'll have a very interesting top 4.

Vegas - First Year never won a cup
Washington - Never won a cup in 42 seasons
Nashville - Never won a cup in 18 seasons
Winnipeg/Atlanta - Never won a cup in 17 seasons (The old Jets now Arizona didn't either)
Tampa Bay - Haven't since 2003-04 (12 seasons ago/14 years ago and nobody from that team is still playing for them)

Penguins won it the last 2 years really don't want to see them do it again as I really want to see a new team win it.

Meh, that depends on how you define interesting. Tampa Bay and Washington aren't interesting to me no matter how long they've gone without winning a Cup, as I can recall seeing their arenas empty as a minor league rink in the summer even during playoff games. Terrible hockey cities.

Vegas, Winnipeg, and Nashville all absolutely belong there.

The last time a team has won 3 Cups in a row was the '80-'83 Islanders dynasty under Mike Bossy, one of the best players of all time. And NO player has ever won 3 Conn Smythe trophies in a row—something Crosby would be a serious contender for if the Penguins were to make it that far. It's fun to see history being made.

East Final

Tampa Bay vs. Washington (WAS in 6)
• Ovi prevailed for once over Crosby in the playoffs; Washington should go to the Stanley Cup Final (Tampa Bay won the Cup in 2004 against the Flames; need a new first time holder)

West Final

Winnipeg vs. Vegas (VEG in 4)
• I don’t think anyone saw this coming; West final anyway. Both teams have done exceptionally well, but I think flower is going to stay hot (he’s had shutouts in the opening and clinching series wins in the first two rounds).


The actual winner of this series I will choose for the Stanley Cup!
