So, who's everyone rooting for, Pens or Sharks?

It sucks, but we're down, not out. Plus, no one would've predicted this at the beginning of the season. (LET'S GO PENS!)

I also don't think I'll spend a sober night until July.

I was almost ready to close up shop on the season after the coaching change, since historically mid-season coaching changes in any sport is pretty much admitting the season is a wash and you're getting a head start on next year. It's definitely been a big surprise. I was doubtful it would end in game 5 last night because I knew San Jose would play aggressive and desperate on the road and they are too talented to be taken lightly if they're playing with their backs to the wall like that.

But it's still been a battle of goaltenders and Murray is the superior man in this series, can't really see the Pens somehow losing two more games with the way that kid plays.

I think it worked out pretty well for the Penguins the last time they did that. Now if only the Canadiens bothered to do that...

(I disagree with the choice of Sid for Conn Smythe though. I love the guy, but I think it should've gone to Murray or Kessel. Speaking of, I'm totally have a having hot dog for dinner tomorrow in his honor)

Eric Lindros, Rogie Vachon, Sergei Makarov and Pat Quinn are this year's inductees into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

Edit: Well that was an interesting day for trades

I really did not expect Subban to be traded.
I was really hoping that they didn't, but who knows, maybe Subban was not a good locker-room influence? Anyhow, Shea Weber is still really good and it's absolutely comical/stupid that people are acting like this trade is a huge win for Nashville/big loss for Montreal
