Best in the world imo

[hong57]

ya he just carry his whole team and all the scoring from a defensive team are generated from him...

[Loki]

Both of the goals tonight were created by him too, carried in and set up the first one, created the tap in rebound for the second

[Monk]

Just finished watching the game, bloody good series, Karlsson is fuckin amazing can't disagree and he's so respectful lol how can you not like the guy... Pens v Preds should be excellent, both fast skating teams that like to take risks with elite goaltending there to bail them out, when's it start anyone know?

[Loki]

Sunday (US Time) is Game 1

[hong57]

no.. it's 29 May.. so it's Monday night US time.. (Tue Asian and Australian time.. i'd wake up at 7am and you wake up at 9am to watch the game on tue... tue is a public holiday in HK... perfect)

[Loki]

Yep sorry my bad, Monday night US time. Got mixed up with timezones

[hong57]

perfect.. i can wake up at 8am haha.. but hate the pens cover.

[hong57]

any chance you can watch the preds routing the pens on tues Loki?

[Loki]

Haha I'll be watching all the games. They're on at 10am for me so sometimes I just have to watch at work

Really can't say I mind the Pens or Sid that much.

Will be rooting for Nashville though

have your team play against the Pens in 3 or 4 playoff series and then try and say that.

[Shep]

Nashville is going to have a very tough time without Johansen. Their depth down the middle was already their weakest IMO. Crosby and Malkin are going to have a field day.

This series is going to come down to Rinne. If he plays like he has so far in the playoffs, they have a chance. But even with their elite defence, the offensive talent of the Penguins is going to be incredibly difficult for Nashville to overcome.

I'm still cheering for the Preds, as they've been my team in the West from the start of the playoffs.

[Florida Chris]

Great game, now lets go Preds.

[Shoalzie]

Both teams have dealt with injuries and no Johansen is the more important injury on either side. Should still be a good series. The Preds look like a team on a mission but I thought that with the Sharks last year and we saw how that worked out. I'm thinking Pens in 6 but it could easily go 7.

No one play has dominated for the Pens...Malkin has been the most consistent contributor throughout. I'd argue Rinne should win Conn Smythe regardless of the result. If Murray has a shutdown series...he could even sneak into the discussion. Guentzel has been clutch...3 GWG in their 12 wins. Someone will emerge out of this final series to take the award.

[Bruyns]

No Letang is a pretty important injury too but he has been out so long he is kind of forgotten.

[The BBKL Insider]

I think the Preds take the cup, probably in 5 or 6.

[dave1959]

I think the Preds take the cup, probably in 5 or 6.

I hope so.

I'd love to see them sweep it.
