Imagine Phil Kessell winning the mvp, toronto might implode, that alone would be worth it

Haha yeah pretty much.

 

I have to say I'm impressed at the depth that the Pens are showing. Crosby's doing fine, and Malkin's pretty much invisible, but it's even some of the 2nd and 3rd liners stepping up. The Lightning have a fair bit of depth themselves, but as said before, not even Stamkos returning will really be able to turn the momentum around. And Vasilevskiy is more than holding his own...

Malkin may not be producing, but just him out on the ice is enough to make TB have to respect his talent and put their top D out against him, which leaves Kessel/Bonino/Hagelin with lesser D to go up against.  The Pens have 3 talented offensive lines and Tampa does not have 3 D pairing to really roll against them.

Or pretty much anyone other than Crosby. Not that he had a particularly bad cup run, but he wasn't the star. I would have far sooner given it to Couture or Burns, or Kessel, or Letang, or Murray....they kind of gave it to him for the good of the game...

 

Gotta hand it to the Penguins. They turned their season around and fucking dominated the playoffs. They went from a team that basically depends on having two superstars to an incredibly balanced full team with solid D and an incredible bottom six. 9 players with 10 or more points. Great balance. Guys like Rust, Sheary, and Kuhnhackl look good for the future too.
