GO PITTSBURG!!!!



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

Well, I didn't want Pittsbrugh to win either, but I honestly don't really care about the Canadian drought.

So, the Stanley Cup Finals are upon us! It will be between Nashville, who make their first ever appearance in the Finals, and the Pittsburgh Penguins, who previously made it in 1991, 1992, 2008, 2009 and 2016, winning all of those years except for 2008. If Pittsburgh win, they'll be the first team since Detroit in 1998 to have successfully defended the cup. If Nashville win, they'll be the newest team in the NHL with a cup.

Nashville's route to the Cup is one of the most impressive performances ever. An eight seed not only reaches the end, but does so for the first time in franchise history.

But they still need to win, or it will all be for naught! GO PREDATORS!!!

LA Kings 2012 (8th seed, first SC) is the most impressive playoff run I have ever seen. They too were an 8th seed team that won their first Cup and just literally controlled all opponents in almost every single stat. Nashville has done very well this playoffs and could very well pull it off as well.

It's impressive how anyone can win in Hockey if they try. A shame the NBA is much more predictable
