My own,quick translation. So apologies to the grammar polices. :lol:

Last year Chris Pronger crushed Red Wings's hopes of winning the Stanley Cup. This year he's trying to do it again,when Detroit play against Anaheim in the Western Conference finals.

Filppula reveals how Detroit are going to break the Anaheim defense:

- We'll shoot as much as possible and try to put pressure on Pronger & Niedermayer. We'll try to tire them out. They move really well on the ice so our skating has to be good. We just have to keep doing the same things we did in the previous rounds. We tied our regular season series,so it's going to be a tight and pretty even series.

Filppula says that the games are getting more interesting round by round.

- I've eagerly waited for every series and it's great for me personally that I get to play against another Finn. I watched a lot of Teemu's games when I still lived in Finland,but I haven't had much time for that here.

Filppula admits that the very first game against Selanne felt a bit weird.

- Before that I've only seen him on tv and now he was playing against me. That was just crazy.
