Stanley Cup Preview Sharks and Penguins

a blog by Iron Horse

The big bad Sharks are coming to Pittsburgh tonight to battle the Penguins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final tonight. 

This is going to be a fantastic matchup between these 2 powerhouse teams. The Penguins and their high flying late surging offense against the Sharks and their dominant special teams.  I've watched a bunch of interviews between these two teams heading into this cup final and I gotta say I'm pulling for the Sharks here and Big Joe Thornton, I mean this dude just deserves a freaking cup man. He's been a  mainstay in hockey for almost 20 years now and he's just a good dude.

I 100% expect this to go to a Game 7 back in Pittsburgh but for the sake of this series that's why I'm saying that, my gut feeling is that the Sharks will win this in 6 at home. But my final answer will be Sharks in Game 7 on the road in Pittsburgh. I hope that Thornton gets his cup and never cuts his beard..
