How is the Pens PK?

They better not take any penalties at all.

Oh no you did not.

Osgood is not very good? Yes. Cause SURELY his amazing season and playoffs dictate that.

AHAHAHA. We'll see about that.

Any pens fan that claims that Ozzie isn't good obviously didn't see last night's game

You're right, he's not good

....he's great

Yes, I am the Sidney Crosby.

- Imo, Pens are the underdogs for the first time this playoff year going into the Finals.

- Pens need to exploit Osgood because, in my opinion, he's not good. However, getting quality shots is another story since the RWs have a very good defensive system.

- Malkin needs to keep his head up; I'm worried about Kronwall (sp?) crushing him

- Pens haven't faced anyone even close to Datysuk and Zetterberg (Spezza, Healtly, and Alfredsson seemed to be sleepwalking in the Senators series), so they'll probably stick Staal's line against them and hope for the best.

- Pens have been playing 4 forwards on the PP unit and have been giving up way too many shorthanded chances, that's not a good formula against the RWs.

- On that note, the Pens have what I call a "one minute PP"; they put all their best players on the 1st PP unit and if they don't score then the PP is pretty much over since the 2nd unit is worthless.

- Letang is the Pens most underrated player and one of the most underrated in the NHL. He reminds me of Chelios, back when Chelios was actually good.

- I'm not sure how much of Crosby you have seen, but he's better than you think. Malkin, when "on", can be even better. However, Malkin isn't always "on", while Crosby is.

- Pens play a great team system, like the RWs.

- The Pens need to win one in Detroit.

Sorry for type-o's, I don't feel like proof-reading

I can't believe there are so many poor and arrogant responses to this. Unlike RussianMalkin, this guy isn't just tooting his own frinkin homer horn here, he's asking for lgw qualitity feedback and instead he's getting ripped on for it.. I'm a bit dissapointed.

In response Sidney, the wings haven't faced an offensive as deep and talented as the Pens either. I think Osgood will be facing close to 30 shot/game istead of 20, but IMO I see this as a positive. If your boys can get him moving side to side, you'll be rewarded. But on the other hand of that talented offense, you have a suseptible defense (which includes your forward units) that will be exploited by the Wings.

When it comes to you PP, well if I were a Pen's fan I'd be hoping my coach was smart enough not to put 4 forwards against the Wings PK. Why? Because Datysuk, Zetterberg, Lids, Rafalski, Kronwall will eat you apart if you turn it over (which you've done a hell of a lot).

I think its going to be a lot closer than most people on these boards seem to think, but I got the Wings in 6

If you guys can pull one out at the Joe, I can see this going 7
