Wings - Pens!

mr2tony - 2009-05-28 10:43 AM PENS IN 6!

mr2tony - 2008-05-19 12:48 PM So ... all my Detroit friends are saying the Pens are going to get rocked in the Stanley Cup Finals. True they might. By Dallas!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Seriously. Regardless of who they play, I like their chances.

mr2tony - 2008-05-20 9:52 AM Nahhh. I think Detroit might win one. Maybe two.

Have you learned nothing Tony?

From last year:





Go Wings!  I do expect a better series this year than last.  Can't wait.

davealt - 2009-05-28 11:56 AM I think it could be a great series.  I just hope they don't beat the Hossa story line to death.  Both teams have some subtle differences from last year that should make it fun to watch.  And with Malkin being as hot as he is...man.  I think most pundits are going to have Pittsburgh winning the series, especially if the Red Wings stay banged up like they are (Lidstrom has missed the past two games, Datsyuk the past 3, and Ericson last night's game).  I never buy into what they say simply because the Cup is on the line.  The Penguins are going to want retribution from last year and the Red Wings aren't going to want to see the Cup walk out the door.  Anything can happen.

My keys to the series:  (warning - amateur hockey analysis forthcoming)

For the Pens:  Malkin and Crosby keep playing like that are playing.  They are each on a different level. 

For the 'Wings:  Big play coming from their leaders (Osgood, Datysuk, Lidstrom, Zetterberg).  I'm looking at you Dats.  He hasn't scored a goal since the Columbus series.  His defense has been sound though, and with Crosby and Malkin playing like they are, that may be more important.  I just hope he's not seriously injured and can play.

I really think this one could go 7 games.  I just hope it's not won in OT in the seventh game, I really don't think I'll make it through the game with my sanity intact

Pens have a lot of talent, but it is concentrated in too few players. Wings defensemen will neutralize Malkin and Crosby enough that the remaining match ups will go in the Wings favor.

Detroit in 6.

LET'S GO PENS!!!!

lest ye forget that we have a super bowl from this year, it is time for PITTSBURGH WORLD DOMINATION!!  WATCH OUT FOR MY PIRATES!!

mr2tony - 2009-05-28 2:04 PM OK let's not get all crazy here.

SweetK - 2009-05-28 10:00 PM Sadly the Wings is all Detroit has in terms of strong Professional teams... the Lions suck, the Tigers suck, the Pistons suck... This is the year for Pittsburgh - Steelers NFL Champs, Pirates are doing OK, and the Pens rock! The energy is unbelievably in favor of the Penguins and you can feel they are hungry for it and will get it this year!!! Reading this thread... the Wings fans are already talking about injuries... so if they lose it's because they're injured whereas they probably aren't hungry enough to win it. The Wings can have our left-overs, we obviously don't need them to win, but Detroit obviously did to get this far
