Stanley Cup Finals: Pittsburgh vs Detroit

[EaglesLinc]

The stage is set for a rematch of last year's Stanley Cup Finals between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings.

Last year Detroit won in 6, what's you pick for this year?

Pittsburgh is a better team than the one who lost last year and Detroit is as good as ever so this will be a 7 game series. Detroit has the home ice advantage, but Pittsburgh wins the Cup

[the noise factor]

I will take the Pens in 5 games. They are a much better team and should be the fav in this match up.

Pens in six. Datsyuk's injury (even if he plays) will be the deal-breaker for Detroit.

[the noise factor]

Datsyuk was reported to have been practicing today.

[Johnny Probst]

I stand by my statement -- he's not effective right now, even if he's in the lineup. One goal in 13 playoff games this year!

The Red Wings are still the defending champs and that has to count for something. The Pens should still win, but it will not be as easy as you think.

[the noise factor]

This should give the NHL the boost in ratings they so desperatly need.

[EaglesLinc]

Red Wings win game one. They are still Hockey Town and right now they are proving it.

Game two will be crucial for the Pens as they cannot afford to be down 2-0.
