PITTSBURGH PENGUINS – 2016 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS

[melbournemartin]

Sharks with more sustained offence and a superb forecheck but Pens have had more top quality chances.

 

[PalaceGun]

Paul Martin is having a real bad game...

 

[melbournemartin]

Pavelski has been hesitant all series. Really showed there.

Star player though, may only need one chance to turn his series around.

 

[melbournemartin]

2 minute PP played just to kill 2 minutes.

 

[giggler99]

relief!!

**** yeah!!! Championships!!!

Go Pens!!!

Congratulation Pittsburgh Penguins on the 2015/16 Stanley Cup.

First time I've ever supported a championship winning team in any sport in any country (I won't count 2009 as I was a very casual fan then)

Pick your cup handoff order:

Crosby
Dupuis
Fehr
Malkin
Kunitz
Letang
Murray

 

[Baird]

Bonino gets a cup before Kesler lol

 

[melbournemartin]

Playoff MVP: Should be Couture, but to give it to a member of the winning team, Murray.

 

[damochandler]

Really the pens went on a tear from Jan 1. Pretty much were the best team

No one was better than Crosby after Jan 1

 

[melbournemartin]

MVP for playoff beards definitely doesn't go to Crosby.

 

[Kakkle]

Murray/Kessell unlucky!

Tie between Thornton and

Murray/Kessell unlucky!

Thing is that Jones and Couture were better than those two mentioned.

Crosby gives something else, lots of one-percenters that don't go on the stat sheet. Very happy and a little surprised to see him get it.

 

[Kakkle]

Daley first? Hahahaha, what? Look at him! He can't even lift the thing!


MAF seems almost embarrassed to hold it up.

 

[melbournemartin]

Forgot about Daley but he was a huge reason we got here.

Yay Fleury

Happy for the Pens, time to turn off before I have to see that fat **** Kessel lift the cup

Congrats Pens - and Sharks too - on a great year.

Second period today was the type of stuff that is behind me being a big fan of the game - amazing skills, speed and action.

Crosby was terrific in Game 6 - not sure on him winning the Conn Smythe though......

 

[Marns]

Amazing. What a season. What a crazy turn of fortune. Deepest pens team I've seen since I got into this sport in '01. Better all-round team than '09.

All hail sully. All hail JR.

The fact that the Sharks routinely went to 3 lines by the third period yet the Pens were still rolling line 4 against Pavelski & Thornton says a lot.

 

[Peter Sidorkiewicz]

Congrats to Pittsburgh.. Well deserved!

Kessel unlucky not to get Conn Smythe, but Crosby is a worthy winner.

On ya Trevor and Pens.
