IF Nashville wins tomorrow....

[PunkRockLocke]

If Kunitz has five cups over 12 seasons with three different teams, how do you keep him out of the Hall of Fame? After all it should be the Hall of FAME, not strictly just the Hall of STATS

I'm a firm believer in karma....this thread title should cause concerns for Preds fans...

A new twist on the jinx thread.. Well done

 

[Dr Pepper]

Hey, even if the Preds don't win, there's still a 50/50 chance of a 3x winner.

75% just looks better, that's all.

Barring any injuries tonight or the next round, ya gotta think the winner of Nashville/Winnipeg is a lock for the Cup.

I think you are underestimating the Knights and especially Tampa Bay, the Lighting can hurt you in so many ways.

Based on what...Tampa is at the same level for sure and they have more experience.

Only my opinion, folks.
I just think that the defense/size/physical play of those two teams will be too much for Vegas/Washington/Tampa.

Dont forget a gold medal too.

Dude has had an amazing career for being undrafted.

The fact that he was even on that team....

I doubt Sid specifically requested Kunitz be added, but there's really only one reason why he was even considered.

 

[Crosbyfan]

That there is exactly why Chris Kunitz has four Stanley Cups.

Exactly. Kunitz was there...

He was a 30 goal scorer who had chemistry with the best player in hockey who is notorious for being picky about who he plays with. He earned it.

Who would you have put there instead?

I saw that, it would be quite neat. Great accomplishment for anyone to win 1 cup let alone 3 in a row.

Funny, I don't think Sid needed him there in Vancouver.

I would've rather seen Neal, MSL or Giroux take the spot that Kunitz ended up "earning".

I do seem to recall a rift between MSL and Yzerman at the time, though, with St. Louis wanting out of Tampa right around the time the team was being finalized. I think he was added later as a reserve.

Please refer to page 1 of this thread - Hossa has never won more than 1 cup in a row

 

[Gains]

I think if Tampa reaches the finals they'll be treated like the 2016 Pens. The sharks were favorites because they looked dominant in the west, but the pens were so fast that it was obvious from game 1 that the Pens would win.

If the Finals is Tampa vs Nash/Win, people will have a reality check real quick.

Kunitz also has a shot at 5 cups.

The Caps are a pretty big team.

 

[Sleepy]

Wasn't there a backup goaltender that lost in the finals 3 years in a row? Can't remember who though.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Well then....

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Lock it up!

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Awkward....
