If the Preds win, it would be great for the growth of the game having another market get a Cup. If the Pens win I believe it cements Sidney Crosby's legacy as an all-time legend, truly. 3 Cups in an era with so much parity and so tough to win, let alone multiple Cups and/or repeat, plus all of his other individual and Team Canada accolades?

Should be a great series. Pens in 7.
 
Win or loose this is BIG time sports history for my home town. If your close come on down & we'll show you a good time even if your pulling for the Pens. The city has some big plans for those without tickets to both Home & Away games, It's gonna big a Party.
 
Sunday could be a very big day in Smashville, The Cup will be in the building. Great series, intense to the MAX when your team is involved. GO PREDS!!
 
Besides a bad 4 minutes in games 1 and 2 this has been all Nashville. Wouldn't be surprised if the preds win the next two.
 
It's over. As much as I hate to say it the injuries, not to mention playing almost 220 hockey games in 2 years, has caught up to us I think. I think even if we had Letang healthy we win this series but just too much strain has caught up with us. I really hope I'm wrong and I look like a moron in a week but still thinking Nashville takes the next TWO games and wins it at home.
 
I want the Pens to win but I was hoping they'd win one in Nashville and maybe take the Cup at home in Game 5. The series is going at least six games now and the way the schedule is spread out its starting to get exhausting. The season is too long and by the end of it I'm burnt out on hockey, and I'm only watching! Can't imagine how the Pens players are feeling after grueling back to back Cup Finals runs.

Not trying to argue so please don't take it as such, but even if the Pens lose, is Crosby not a legend already? I think in 20-30 years, and I'll probably be dead, we'll be talking about him and a much younger crowd (hopefully there even is one then) will be excited about pulling his autos out of products featuring the retired players.

Oh absolutely he is a legend already. When I said "all-time" legend, I should have clarified, I meant in the sense a top 10 player all time, probably top 5 if he rack up another 500 or so points.

Points and championships are SO much harder to come by nowadays with the parity and skill in the league. I would equate 3 Cups in this era to 5-6 in the 70's and 80's. 1500 points nowadays is definitely 2000 in the 70s and 80s.

So I meant a top-end-of-the-scale legend.:)
