Prior to the franchise's first ever Stanley Cup Final game Monday against the Pittsburgh Penguins, San Jose Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer looked to motivate his team by stroking their egos:

"We're heavier, we're harder, and we're much better looking," DeBoer told his players in their dressing room as part of his pre-game speech.

He certainly isn't wrong about his first point - as the Sharks are 10 pounds heavier, on average, than the Eastern Conference champions.

We'll see if his unconventional pep talk can lead his club to an early series lead.
