Saran 1 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 (edited) **I'll update as the show goes on** Babcock said franzen looked 100% in the practices, husling to the net etc but doctors have final word Roberts seemed upset in his interview that he is a healthy scratch WHO HAS BETTER DEFENSE? Milbury - Detroit OZZY OR FLEURY? Pierre - slight edge to osgood WHO HAS BETTER OFFENSE? McKenzie - slight edge to Pittsburgh WHAT MAY BE THE DECIDING FACTOR? Pierre:Pittsburgh speed/detroit experience Milbury: Detroit experience Mckenzie: Detroit Experience of failure (hungry for a cup) DARREN PANG REVIEW OF GOALIES FLEURY - very athletic, quick, not very good at angles, detroit has to put pressure and screen him OSGOOD - weak up high, kind of week 5 hole, however very experienced, calm and good at keeping control on the game and staying consistant FRANZENSTEIN Milbury - He should play in game one, its the stanley cup finals and you have to play through it McKenzie/Pierre - Listen to the doctors, dont play, health first ALL agree that he will be back for game 2 -WHO WILL WIN THE STANLEY CUP?- McKenzie - Detroit Red Wings Milbury - Detroit Red Wings Pierre - No Pick, (too many friendships at stake, aka *****) Dreger - Pittsburgh Penguins Reda - Pittsburgh Penguins Maggie The Monkey (8-6 record) - Pittsburgh Penguins (she picked detroit all the other rounds) Shows Over, Enjoy Edited May 24, 2008 by Saran Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XxGoWingsxX 0 Report post Posted May 23, 2008 While i wouldn't say Detroit has a HUGE edge offense wise...i believe their experience, and hunger from previous failures is going to be a huge factor in this series, and give em a slight edge..not vice versa. Osgood has played VERY solid and again has the experience...he's also one of the most calm and collected goaltenders i've ever seen when getting peppered with shots. I can't say osgood is this AMAZING goalie...but he doesn't have to be....when you have the defense detroit does, you don't need a goalie who will steal games, you just need one to be solid and keep you in the games....a la osgood. I think the fact that osgood reinvented his playing style (he used to be stand-up goalie, and is kinda hybrid now...hes mix with standup and butterfly now, as he took lessons from a goal coach to learn butterfly) has given him a better overall game, he seems quicker, and now knows when to stay up and down, as to not get out of position...i think it's also been a great confidence booster to him too. I just hope he doesn't have one horrible game or something and see the confidence dwindle away..but i doubt it. You can tell just by lookin at him in interviews how much more confident he is now.
