'33'

It's cause the Wings play in that Uber-weak Western Conference..

Faceoffs.. blah. In the regualr season, Detroit was #1 in the league, Pittsburgh was dead last. But, oh my.. Pittsburgh scored on 10.6% of their shots, good enough for 3rd in the league. While Detroit only converted 8.9%.. 21st in the league. No doubt you will win the faceoffs, we don't need them. We will get the puck one way or another, we always do.. and when we do decide to quite being pretty with the passing, we will score. Hasek will be your starter by game 4.

Sorry for the ecomomy posts, they were a little below the belt.

I'm far from trolling. Please remove my name from that list.

On a VS telecast? You must have been smoking rock before the game. That's stuffs bad for ya, son.

Pulling for excuses already? I thought Detroit fans would have been better than Philly fans. I thought wrong.

Haha, what happened to the Penguins after Crosby got injured in the regular season?

Zetterberg is better than Crosby? You are in for a show Saturday night..

'33' has just always been my lucky number. I grew up in Latrobe, former home of Rolling Rock. They have the Crosby line as far as chemistry, but Crosby and Hossa have been mixing well this postseason.

Oh yeah, education is much needed for Wings fans, case in point:

Zetts and Dats better than Crosby and Hoss?

with your economy, maybe you need to think about getting some schooling! no way either team sweeps..

i don't think every conference final game was sold out, but if you say so. i'm not trolling, i came here for insight and discussion.

Ottawa's top three match well with your top three, yes? Heatly, Alfie, and Spezza. New York has a Vezina canidate, yes? Philly has well, Philly sucks. But like Detroit, minus the superstars, they have/had depth. 3 legit scoring lines.

should be a good series. pittsburgh needs to win one of the two games in detroit, if not it could be a short series. i'm going with pittsburgh in 6. your board is going to pick the wings to win, my board will pick the pens to win. that's just how it works. i'm not going to come to your board as a panthers fan and tell you my team sucks and we're going to beat you. just like you're not going to come to my board and tell me that your team, phoenix, is going to beat my team. just isn't going to happen. maybe you detroit fans can do us all a favor and sell out your friggen arena. it's embarrassing.

Hi. Pens fan stopping by. Detroit vs Pittsburgh. With the exception of an LA vs NY final, I thing the NHL would be more than happy to have to two teams meet up in the Finals. Detroit is an explosive, defensively sound team as Pittsburgh is. Pens in 6. Winning the cup on home ice. Forwards: Pens > Wings - Crosby/Malkin/Hossa are much better than Zetts/Dats/Franzen Defense: Wings > Pens - Your teams D is awesome, but don't underestimate the Penguins. Goal: Pens < Wings, unless the Pens shell Ossy in the first game and Hasek comes in. i don't think Ossy is good enough laterally to combat the Penguins tic-tac-toe passing. And to quote a fellow Penguins fan:
