Projected line ups for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

The San Jose Sharks have kindly released the projected line ups for the very first game of the Stanley Cup Final.

There are very few surprises here with the possible exception of Kris Letang who's status was in doubt until earlier today when the Penguins announced that he had simply been made unavailable due to a maintenance day.

Anchoring the top lines will be veteran Joe Thornton for the San Jose Sharks and Sidney Crosby for the Pittsburgh Penguins. While Thornton is undoubtebly considered the veteran between these tow men, it will be Crosby who enters the game with Stanley Cup Finals experience.

All eyes will be on both coaches and what changes they make throughout the night as they attempt to adapt.

Here are your projeted line ups.
