TL;DR: Pittsburgh wins the Stanley Cup

What does "Iron cries in Nashville" mean for PF? Or is that just a poor translation?.

Old Swedish proverb, probably hard to understand without context. The full saying is "Iron cries in Nashville, but ye olde Pittsburgh t'was gilded with steel".

I honestly interpreted it as "they'll hit a lot of crossbars but won't score enough." The actual transliteration is way more badass.

In Swedish, "like satan" or "a satan's.." is the equivalent of "like hell" or "one hell of a..". "Miroslav Satan was a satan's player".
