Zonave Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Stats: Detroit has home ice. Pittsburgh has lost 2 less playoff games. Pittsburgh has had more time to rest. My pick is Pittsburgh. On paper Detroit is better overall, but Hossa, Malkin, and especially Crosby jump off the page as well as Fleury. Pens in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuniorSTLB Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 should be an exciting serise. This has got to be Pittsburgh's longest serise I just don't see this ending in 4 or 5. It has to be a longer serise Im going to say this ones going 7. It will be very intense. This one I can't predict. May the best team win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Innis_Mor Posted May 22, 2008 Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 Detroit in 5 if they sweep the first two at home, otherwise 6 games, and the Red Wings raise the Cup. Pens have not had great "training" in the series' leading up to this one. They are finally about to face a deep team playing with a lot of poise. Still, it should be a pretty good series.

You are correct. Pittsburgh didn't play a team in the playoffs with Skill,Poise, Speed. Detroit has the best Defense in the NHL and there offense is in the top 5. Pittsburgh's offense is pure skill but still I believe Detroit's defense can stop them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonave Posted May 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2008 yes, but they still played a good team. and steamrolled them. i dont think anyone can stop crosby one on one, and if they double team him, hell find the open man. It also comes down to fleury being the better goalie, hes been unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also comes down to fleury being the better goalie, hes been unstoppable. I think Datsyuk and Malkin are the players I'd be more worried about 1 on 1, however, that's just my opinion. I agree it's going to come down to goaltending. Both teams will get their chances but it's up to the goaltenders to stop it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonave Posted June 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Detroit played good hockey, very good hockey, but pittsburg didnt step up as well as i thought they would. when detroit hit pittsburg off their game, pittsburg didnt come up with a different plan. they tried to change the pace, which didnt work. towards the end, pittsburg did as well as i though they would. they tied detroit in games for the last 4, when they stepped up. i dont think zetterberg was the playoff mvp, i think it should have been fleury, crosby, or osgood. maybe even turco.
