TV hasn't officially been announced, but when there's only two channels airing hockey, it's not hard to make the right guesses...

I'm a Pens fan too, but I don't think they've got a chance. The Pens have an amazing ability to make Cam Ward look like the greatest goaltender who ever lived. I want the Pens to win, but I've just got a bad feeling about this one.

Canes in 5.
Ridiculous! The Canes have been awesome and I'm all for reasonable expectations, but the Penguins should've earned some benefit of your doubt by now. Crosby has never been better, and this time around, we have Tom Fitzgerald and the other team has Tom Barrasso.

We have Mike Yeo. He sank our Power Play like a Board Game Battleship this year.
If the Pens find a way to solve Cam Ward, then yeah, they've got a shot, but they sure didn't look good against him in the regular season. Hopefully they do this time around.

Wings repeat, and the world dies of boredom.
Unfortunately, I totally agree. But I really really really hope were both wrong.
The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup, but knowing that Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep.
Come on, Justin. You should know by now. I'd rather assume the worst and turn out to be wrong than come out beating my chest and get shit on by Wings, Canes, Flyers, or Caps fans for being arrogant. Besides, it's not over yet. If the Canes hold serve, it's a 3 game sprint.
Word, word, and I'm not talkin' like this series still isn't going long, that would be pure dumb. (Plus I must, obviously, never allow myself to be quote-trapped, should things take a turn for the bad. NEVER.) I was just reiterating that the CW can be beaten and that there's nothing wrong with believing that we're very good too. We're very good too!
So, the important question- Did Crosby vanquish the demons of last year when he not only touched the Prince of Wales trophy, but got both Assistant Captains to hold it with him for a photo-op? That's the most love I've seen that trophy get in YEARS.

Mario skated around with the damn thing the two years that his Pens teams won.
Thread ahead: How many one-team players have there been? Next thread: RIP: Peter Zezel (1965-2009) Previous thread: 2008-09 NHL CONFERENCE SEMIFINALS and your predictions
It shows how the NHL is just not one of the big sports league. Over 7 years just "conspiring" to get someone wacked... Major American sports athletes can get away with that with maybe 7 weeks of community service.
