Starting to think this is the year for the Senators. 6-1 in OT games? At some point it just has to be destiny, right?

The Pens have a chance to close of the Eastern Conference final against the Sens, but I suspect the Sens won't go out without a fight and I wouldn't be surprised to see a game 7, especially because tomorrow game is in Ottawa.
I'm still liking the Predators, but with the loss of Ryan Johansen and injury to Mike Fisher, I'm not nearly as confident as I was previously as my favorite to win the cup.
DLC93 said:Sens extend the Eastern Conference Final to game 7; however, the Pens seemed to be more in control of that game and the Sens seemed to be hanging on for most of the game. It's likely the Pens will advance.
Whichever the outcome, the Stanley Cup Final should be good!

DLC93 said:Yeah the commentators on NBCSN stated the same thing. That happens sometimes. I think Ottawa can play better than Pittsburgh, but last game the Pens were better if I'm being honest.
DLC93 said:After the first couple games in this series I thought Nashville was in trouble, even though I thought they were the better team in game 1 Pittsburgh found away to walk away with it, and walked over Nashville in game 2.
I knew Nashville would get a boost from their home crowd, and I was curious to see if Pekka Rinne would get out of his funk from games 1 and 2, and he did. Preds won the last two games in convincing fashion.
I think Nashville has proven they belong to be there and Pittsburgh is going to have to fight for it. If Nashville can steal game 5 in Pittsburgh, I think they have it in game 6. It's amazing to watch their offensive zone pressure; Each forward is circling around and pressuring their opposition in the D-zone and forcing turnovers. Then Nashville's d-men and sitting at the blue lines ready to keep the puck in.
Even though Nashville lost the first two games, I was also still impressed on how they were able to dish the puck off on offense against Pittsburgh; games 3 and 4 was their breakout.
