Who Should You Vote For In The Stanley Cup Finals?

Welcome to the Stanley Cup Finals, NHL fans! Some of you may have lost your team along the way, whether they lost in the playoffs or missed the playoffs entirely. You may be considering rooting for one of the two teams currently in the Finals, but how do you choose who? Have no fear! FOGSquad is here to help. Here are our perspectives.

It's no contest. You should definitely be rooting for the San Jose Sharks to win the Stanley Cup.

This is their first trip to the Finals: why not make it a memorable one? You'd be rooting for a team that went with the name Sharks because a fan vote pinned first place on the name Blades and management thought that was too violent and went with a mammal that regularly eviscerates small creatures for meals.

Remember, the Penguins franchise has won a Cup before; the Sharks—which has multiple players well in their thirties who have never even made it past the Western Conference Finals—have never even had the Cup in their grasp. Who do you want to hoist the Stanley Cup? Sidney Crosby, a grown man who looks like a lopsided melting snowman, or Brent Burns, carefully groomed mountain man who eats enough pizza to single-handedly keep the Domino's franchise in business? Matt Murray looks like a Goonie-fied Madison Bumgarner who hasn't eaten in 3 years. Martin Jones looks like he's about to commit murder with his bare hands and as the blood splashes on his skin he'll flick his hair out of his face—that's cool as hell. Pascal Dupuis is kinda dad hot, so whatever, I'll leave him alone. But Patrick Marleau is almost as dad hot and he has the emotional expression of a small robot just trying to find the last flower on the planet Earth.

Yes, we do have 3-time Kentucky Derby winner Logan Couture on our team. I can't be angry if that makes you wary. But we also have knock-off L.L. Bean catalog model Paul Martin. Small, friendly dachshund James Reimer, Pancakes enthusiast Joel Ward? Yup, we got him.

The choice is yours. But really, you should root for the Sharks.

Here's a picture of Joe Thornton getting handed a mammoth tusk on the occasions of his 1000th game and 1000th point. You may notice that he is holding a small child; his firstborn daughter. Why this photo? Just because.

Do you want this man to stop smiling? Root for the Penguins.
