We've done this kind of review/roundup before, where we gather the predictions of a bunch of different media types and compare them across the board to see who is coming out the more popular pick.
For this one, we've gathered the opinions of people from ESPN, CBS Sports, and USA Today. If we come across others, we'll update the post accordingly.
| Expert | Outlet | Prediction |
| Scott Burnside | ESPN | Penguins in 6 |
| Craig Custance | ESPN | Sharks in 7 |
| Pierre Lebrun | ESPN | Sharks in 7 |
| John Buccigross | ESPN | Sharks in 6 |
| Linda Cohn | ESPN | Penguins in 7 |
| Joe McDonald | ESPN | Penguins in 7 |
| Barry Melrose | ESPN | Sharks in 6 |
| Steve Levy | ESPN | Sharks in 6 |
| Kevin Allen | USA Today | Penguins in 6 |
| Adam Gretz | CBS Sports | Penguins in 6 |
| Chris Peters | CBS Sports | Sharks in 6 |
Pretty damn close across the board, with a 6-5 split. I think this is gonna be one of those series that's split right down the middle and a lot of people don't know which way to go on it.
My prediction: I think the series goes seven games. And my pick? Get real. The Penguins, of course.
