hak 21 Report post Posted May 17, 2008 Not too sure why you guys wanna be members of the opposing teams forums... for one, you gotta know that the educated hockey fans who say "the Wings are a great team, if its the Wings vs. Pens in the Finals, it'll be a close series" are few and far between. I mean, majority of Wings fans or Pens fans are gonna be biased and think their team is better. If you feel like getting into pointless conversations and debates, I guess thats your thing. Same goes for all the link posting to stuff on their boards... Here's a GREAT idea, (as someone already pointed out) just DONT read it! Again, of course their fans are gonna say "we don't need to worry about the Wings" or "the Wings haven't played anyone", etc. Here's all anyone needs to know... IF (that is a huge key word here) the Stanley Cup Finals is a battle between the Wings vs. the Pens... a. It's the #1 vs. #2 teams respectably. b. Neither the Wings nor Pens have taken out a Cup favorite. c. Our sweep of the Avs is near identical to their sweep of the Sens. d. The Wings have a great offense with a better defense. The Pens have a great defense with a better offense. e. Osgood has proven himself but is a bit older and hasn't won a Cup in.. what? 9 years now? Fleury has proven himself but is young and could crack come the Finals f. The Wings: 11-3. The Pens 11-2 (respectably) g. The Wings have Dats and Z. The Pens have Crosby and Malkin h. Wings have Franzen (who i'd imagine to be back in the Finals) and the Pens have Hossa. Honestly, to me, it's a total freaking toss up. I truly think the Wings take it in 7. And the ONLY reason we take it in 7 is because we have the overall experience and have obviously learned from our lessons over the past couple season. So, again, IF it is a Wings vs. Pens series... Here is to what I think could be one of the most entertaining, exciting, 'edge of your seats' Playoff hockey anyone has seen in a VERY long time! thank you! great post and i agree with almost everything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
