Yeah, he has plenty of time to win and most of that team should be back next season for another crack at it. Also worth noting is that there are some great players in NHL history who never won a cup, notably Dionne, Bure, Stamkos, Lundquist, Roenick, etc, etc.

Game 4 was the deciding game. No Letang and no Maatta and you don't beat them. Should have been 2-2.

This - easy. They should have taken that game relatively easy but they couldn't flip a switch. They just did not play as solid a series as Pittsburgh in any way.

The pressure is on the Pens now. They are easily the favorite to win the cup at this point.

Yup, be an interesting series against TB.

I'm really excited for the SJ/NAS game 7... like, more excited than I have been in a while for a game 7. That's easily been my favorite series of the playoffs thus far.

Be nice to see the Sharks advance.

Pretty much sums up all of the wrong desicision our management has made, along with the reality of how much Cap issues kill the Rangers.

Not that it is the same situation as not having won in two decades but I watch these games and am continually amazed at how many guys got their deep playoff run experience with the Hawks.

Actually, that is not far from the truth. Russia recalled Ovi, Orlov and Kutznetzov for the world cup of hockey per ESPN. God help them if they don't win that, then maybe Putin will stand them up against a wall for a dose of 9mm Excedrin!
