Who you got for Hockey's "Super Bowl", the Stanely Cup Finals? If you're not too familiar with either team, let me break it down for you:

Penguins: Beat the defending East champions, the New York Rangers in the first round and continued to dominate in the playoffs with a hard schedule versing teams like the Washington Capitals. The Penguins were last in the finals in 2009 when they beat the Detroit Red Wings.

Sharks: Kinda an underdog in the tournament but had a great goal:goals allowed ratio. This is their first time reaching the finals in NHL history!

In a 6 man analysis, 4 out of 6 said the Penguins will take home the cup while the other two claim the Sharks will.
I don't like the Penguins due to one of their star players Sidney Crosby and the fact they beat the Rangers so I'm going with the Sharks! Vote and tell us why you picked who you did :D

I'm a Dallas Stars fan personally. I would've loved to see them do better, but with some injuries late in the season they seemed to get down during the playoffs. This being said, I usually would cheer for a Canadian team if they were in the playoffs and Dallas wasn't, although, that wasn't a thing this year.

Since there was no one for me to really root on, I decided that Washington would be a good team to cheer for seeing that I like Ovechkin as a player and he has never won a Cup. Turns out that they lost to the Penguins so I would just rather the Penguins lose.

I also think that the competition this year in the West seemed a lot better. Teams were able to beat the last 2 Stanley Cup Champions (Blackhawks and Kings). The Sharks have also played a phenomenal post-season, and seeing them take it wouldn't be the worst thing.

Since the Sharks beat the Blues, I could never root for them. Plus, the Penguins have always been my back-up team. Really my favorite since the Blues just have the "hometown" advantage in my heart.
