Pittsburgh has gone back to back! Defeating the Nashville Predators 4-2 away from home.
Questions
Crosby has now won back to back Conn Smythe Trophies? Should Malkin have been awarded the CS? In my opinion Malkin was awfully good throughout the entire playoffs. Just ahead for mine..
Was Nashville the better team in your opinion over the series?
How good was the Pittsburgh goaltending?!?!
Phil Kessel, what an amazing trade! How good has he been?
