FINALS
Penguins vs. Sharks
My prediction: Sharks in 6
RESULT: PENGUINS IN 6
Post-Series Thoughts: Congratulations to the Penguins winning the Stanley Cup. No one in all of sports deserves it less. The Penguins ended up playing better than they actually are, and the Sharks played far worse. In fact, I'd chalk this series result up to coaching. Give the Penguins coach credit for getting his team to overachieve, and fault DeBoer for his team playing so poorly. Whatever the reason, though, this one stings for anyone that's a fan of the sport.
Pre-Series Thoughts: I don't think the Penguins deserve to be in the finals. They overachieved through the first few rounds, and I feel they got a lot of help getting there. That said, they finally had their two biggest superstars show up and start scoring. If that continues, this could series could go the distance. But I think the Sharks are deeper, they're more physical, and I think they're just a better team overall. Outside of more interference from the officials, I say Sharks in 6.
