Not that I'm validating this response in regards to the Pens chances, but the Wings weren't off in Game 5.....Turco was "on".

I gotta agree with NFM on this one. IMO, Turco was set on getting that win at the Joe. Call me crazy, but I think Turco was a man possessed because he had finally gotten sick of hearing how hes never won at the Joe. Playing for U of M, it probably hit close to home for him. That drive, coupled with it being a playoff game, made it his best performance of the entire series. He was going to get that win no matter what. I dont care if Crosby and Malkin were our 3rd and 4th line centers to Datsyuk and Zetterberg in that game. We weren't going to win it. If we became unmotivated, it was only because Turco killed our spirit.

Overconfidence is a good thing.

Overconfidence is a good thing.

Eh? Im not sure who that is aimed at. If its in reference to this thread, then I will have you know none of us actually *play* for the Red Wings. Although you may be surprised by this fact, I can assure you its true. In fact, as surprising as it is, our attitude as fans actually has little bearing on what the actual attitude of the current Red Wings squad is.

If at any time you would like to request to see some self indentification of mine, I can provide it, in order to verify that I am not, in fact, the devilishly handsome Henrik Zetterberg (although I am equally as dashing) or the smurf-like Jiri Hudler and am therefore not a current Red Wing player galavanting around a forum spouting off in an over-confident manner.

As a side-note, you wont find a *less* over-confident team right now than the Red Wings. I know young Pens fans may not know this, but this current Red Wings team features many players who have bother suffered disappointing first and second round exits, as well as having endured long, tough stretches to reach a Stanley Cup. They know the right attitude to have, and the right amount of confidence as well. I'd bet my ass that there are zero players in the Red Wings locker room mulling over how they made Turco look like a sieve or how they all got their little Western Conference Champ hats. This is a veteran squad, and they are well aware that they can be humbled quickly.

Only chance is Datsyuk and Zetterberg voodoo dolls.
