Grats to the Penguins man they dominated all throughout the playoffs. Pumped for the Devils to be lifting the cup next year.

Penguins goaltending was far superior to any other teams all post-season. Jones is a fantastic goalie but he tends to find himself in bad positions early in the game.

The penguins had a very good game plan for Burns, Vlasic, and Braun who all too often made good offensive plays as defensemen.

What lost it for them was shot blocking and their slowness. When it came to the defensemen, 2 or even all 3 of the forwards were in the middle of the ice. With the penguins playing very tight defense, that made it near impossible for the sharks defensemen to get shots through. They also wouldn't stop going up the boards when the penguins shut them off everytime. They also weren't able to play to the penguins speed, or slow them down. That's why they lost =\

its honestly amazing the sharks won 2. Grats to the penguins, very impressive run they have had.

Onwards to the draft. I'll post a new thread probably in september or so for 2016-2017 discussion

Will be waiting
