The Stanley Cup Finals are set as the Detroit Red Wings get set to open the Finals at home against the Eastern Conference champion Pittsburgh Penguins. This looks to be one of the most entertaining Finals in recent memory as two of the most talented teams in the NHL go head to head for hockey's ultimate prize.
Detroit vs. Pittsburgh
Breakdown: This should be one heck of a series to watch. Both teams can really skate. Both teams can shut it down on defense. Both teams have goalies who are on top of their game right now. At the end of the day I give the edge to the Pens. I think they are a little bit deeper, a little bit more talented, a little bit hungrier, a little bit better on defense, and a little bit better in goal. All in all that adds up to a Stanley Cup for Pittsburgh in my book. The Penguins are clicking on all cylinders and have been more impressive against better competition this post-season than Detroit. The Pens are battle tested and ready to finish the job. That is not to say it is going to be easy for Pittsburgh This should be the toughest series yet for the Penguins and Detroit could easily walk away victorious when all is said and done.
Player to Watch: Marian Hossa (PIT) - Make no mistake, Hossa has had a tremendous post-season thus far, but this is why Ray Shero went out and got him at the trade deadline. Hossa is going to have to continue to perform and both ends of the rink and finish off some of Sidney Crosby's passes if the Penguins are going to complete their amazing post-season with a victory over the Red Wings. Hossa could be that one extra weapon that gives Pittsburgh the edge in the Finals. And it could mean a huge pay day for Hossa come July 1st.
Prediction: Pens in 6

the penguins are more talented you fucking retards. Detroit has no clue what its like to play two top lines with malkin sykora and malone and then hossa crosby and dupuis, plus all our other lines can score. im not saying detroit sucks because they dont im just saying the penguins have much more talent on there team and this is going to be a close series.
When will you give Detroit some credit. We are up 2 games both of which are shutouts. Pens are weak the level of play speaks for itself you fucks don't have a chance. I'm not even going to acknowledge your pithy comments until the "more talented Penguins" score. HA
