He made some brilliant moves to get that team the cup.
Best move was to replace the coach. But colour me surprised they made it as far as they did. They were a dominant team in the playoffs. But ya, he made some astute moves.

Astute moves getting reclamation projects from other teams that nobody wanted, or players people thought couldn't win/ would never live up to potential..
Kessel and Bonino are good examples
The 'Chain of Command' is the chain I am going to beat you with until you understand I am in charge.

As is Hagelin. The ducks sucked and got rid of some deadwood halfway through the season, including Hagelin, who then went on to win the cup on that sensational line with Kessel and Bonino!
Whatever you do, always give 100 %!
Except when donating blood.

It must have been luck - to win a Cup without the #1 legend Defenseman to lead the team - right Skyo?

Yup happens every 10 years and you absolutely need a one Matt Cullen!
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.
Since everyone seems to emulate the last SC champ, I'm happy to see the Cup go to a team with speed and skill.
Question: The Sharks definitely rode Jones in the last 2 rounds. Do you think they have what it takes to make a return appearance or was that Thornton and Company's last shot?

Pens don't make the finals without Murray.
Pens don't make the playoffs without MAF. He was the glue for them during the regular season. But no question he has seen playoff meltdowns. Murray was outstanding.
So much so that rumours abound that MAF will be traded now.

Kris Letang is absolutely a franchise defenceman

Bonino finishes 8th in playoff scoring. Not bad, eh Dude?
Bonino has been great as a third line cente, playing behind Crosby and Malkin. However, Bonino was the second center only behind Henrik, just not what he is suited for.
Turns out he's a better third line centre than the guy we traded him for.
As good as Bonino was, the Hagelin really made the line go. Having one of the best natural scorers in the game did not hurt either. Congrats to the Pens. They were the better team and deserved the cup. Crosby is amazing.

Agree about Letang. He will be on Team Canada in the end.
