M&G Writers Playoff Pool (Final Update)

The Pittsburgh Penguins won their 4th Stanley Cup with a Game 6 win over San Jose

Gary A. Vasquez-USA TODAY Sports

The Pittsburgh Penguins finished the 2015-16 NHL season by defeating the San Jose Sharks 3-1 in Game 6 to win the franchise's 4th Stanley Cup and the first since 2008-09. Sidney Crosby was named playoff MVP and he finished third in the round in scoring. Logan Couture of the Sharks finished ahead of him but it didn't matter as his team had to watch the Penguins parade the Stanley Cup around their home arena.

Here's a recap of our pre-final predictions:
