Game 1 tonight at 8PM EST with Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators. Your Stanley Cup predictions are?

A little late to the party -- but poll closes in a day.

BTW comment appears inaccurate. Many many NHL Finals matchups have been between American teams including 8 out of last 9 NHL Finals.

I will predict Nashville will find a way to come out on top. Looking forward to catching a few games on TV

Okay thanks -- I'll delete that comment. Was waiting for Jim (StillOne) to give his blessing on that comment.

Even after game 1 is over and Pens won. I think Predators will win the cup. In game 1, Predators seems to control most of the game and if it wasn't for some poor penaties on the Predators part, they may had won game 1.

The Pens were very lucky last night. Nashville outplayed them for 50 minutes. Unbelievable that the Pens didn't have a shot on goal for over a 30 minute stretch.

I will have to agree... You are most likely not going to win the cup when you can not get a shot on goal in more then 37 minutes of play.... Ironically, the first shot after the 37 minutes was a goal... Guessing Pekka Rinne was shocked to see a puck coming his way!

Mike Sullivan needs to ralliy the troops with a better game plan or it will be a short ride back home...

But either way I will always cheer for my home team, even though I no longer live there. The Pittsburgh sports teams have brought me a lot of enjoyment... and the Penguins have been a big part of this... Go Pens!!!

Much better performance by the Pens in game two... The Preds are a great team and will be tough to beat on their home ice... Looking forward to game three on Saturday!

Go PENS!!!
