The NHL 2015-16 Thread! (fantasy hockey anyone?)

Rhinox with the Sharks pick..

That's a bold strategy Cotton.

[AGar]

We've seen this script before from the Sharks.

[Rhinox]

Yes but Rocky beats Apollo in the sequel!

(they're totally going to lose lol)

[Nightson]

Kings go down in five games, held the lead for just four minutes the entire series.

Guess we're not playing by the script.

[AGar]

I mean, it's still the Sharks. It's like the Caps - they always find a way to throw it.

[Kari]

And the Blues vanquish their Round 1 demons....

How....satisfying.

[Rhinox]

No hawks and no kings is refreshing

[TheWayItEnds]

Cant wait for the ducks to lose another game 7 at home...

[TheWayItEnds]

....4 in a row.

if the ducks arent the best team at losing game 7s i dont know who is.

[Kari]

Well this year, the Blues are pretty damn good at Game 7s AND elim games. They're 2-0 for both of them.

Also I'm rooting for the Preds tonight.

[Rhinox]

2 blowout game 7's was kinda lame.

I like the final 4 though: sharks/blues and pens/lightning

go pens

[Kari]

Monday Night:

The Sharks seek their first Cup in franchise History as the Pens look to lift the cup for the 2nd time in 7 years.

Who do you guys have winning?

[Rhinox]

Cup clinching game tonight for the pens. Never thought the pens would be this dominant.

[Kari]

^ It's not over yet, though. Sharks could dismantle them tonight for all we know.

[Rhinox]

I doubt there will be a dismantling. Before last game, pens had outshot their opponents (by a large margin) in 12 straight games. Sharks outshot pens last game but still lost. Sharks have not held a lead at all in the finals (they won in OT, so still have 00:00 playing time with a lead). The sharks could win, yes, but a dismantling would be a surprise. I'm ok with it. My wife's a pens fan, shes happy with they win and grumpy when they lose, so I'm happy too when they win.

Either way I feel my sharks pick was validated.

[Kari]

No one expected the Blues to dismantle the Stars Game 7. No one expected them to dismantle the Sharks Game 4.

The Sharks have entered a slump at the worst time. They need to dig themselves out of it, and fast, or the Cup is presented tonight.

[Narna]

don't shork

Spoiler:

[Rhinox]

Pens dominate, sharks win. No dismantling. Bah

[Kari]

Your 3 stars of the game:

1. Martin Jones
2. Martin Jones
3. Martin Jones

If Sharks win the Cup and he's not MVP, I'll be shocked.

[Kari]

We interrupt the SCF to bring you the following update:

Gordie "Mr. Hockey" Howe has died at the age of 88. He will forever be a legend. RIP

[Kari]

Cup Final - Game 6

Penguins 3 - 1 Sharks (Final - Penguins Win 4-2)

Crosby gets Conn Smythe.

At least it wasn't the Hawks or Kings!
