Here's a look at the Stanley Cup finals showdown between the Sharks and Penguins:
How they win
Penguins: Speed, and more speed. The Sharks are a fast team, but the Eastern Conference finals kicked into another gear compared to the West -- and that could spell trouble for San Jose. Pittsburgh has built its identity under first-year coach Mike Sullivan around speed, and that pace will be a weapon for the Penguins against the tight-checking, structured Sharks.
Pittsburgh also has a depth it hasn't had in years. Even if the Sharks contain stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, as Pittsburgh's other opponents have done at times this postseason, Phil Kessel's line can absolutely fly and presents a major challenge of its own.
