My (Late Preview) of the Stanley Cup Finals

I meant to blog this before the series started, but I completely forgot. *Insert shoulder shrug figure here*

Anyway, the Pittsburgh Penguins currently have a 2-0 series lead going into Game 3 tomorrow night. Here’s my preview for the rest of the series.

Stanley Cup Final: San Jose Sharks vs. Pittsburgh Penguins

The HBK line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino, and Phil Kessel has powered the Penguins all throughout the playoffs and continue to do so in the Cup Final. The Penguins have also been getting help from unlikely heroes in Bryan Rust and Connor Sheary, and Sidney Crosby continues to look like the best player in the world. If the Sharks have any chance to beat the Pens, they need to regroup and play the sound team game they’ve been playing all postseason. They also need more help from goaltender Martin Jones, who has looked below average so far this series. They also need help from their superstars Brent Burns, Joe Thorton, Joe Pavelski, Patrick Marleau, and Logan Couture.

My Prediction: Sharks Win Series in 7 Games
