motorcitykid 42 Report post Posted May 25, 2008 Of course experience matters. I'm shocked by some of what i've read about how the "youth" of Pittsburgh will win over our "old, veteran" team. Pul-leeze! Average ages, I believe were 27.8 for Pittsburgh and us at 31.5 or something close to that. In any case, who cares? I've never been a big believer in those type of numbers. The media acts like the Pens are all 20 year olds, and we're a bunch of 38 year olds. And THEY'D STILL give 'em the better odds. One game does not make a series, but i'd really like to see what the Pens have to offer next game. When the Mighty Red Machine shows up to play, no-one can stop us. That's why we've been the most dominant team [maybe next to the New England Patriots] in all pro sports for umm, how long now?? So many wins, so many titles, I forget. But watch the Pens win a game and listen closely to the TALK you hear. Wings were dominant last night, everywhere. And this was without our big guys Pavs, Hank dominating on the score sheet. Enter Mule likely Game #3 and then ... And let's not forget: OZZIE !! OZZIE !! OZZIE !! OZZIE !! OZZIE !! OZZIE !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take them out of the equation and the average age of the Wings is on par with the league average. The Wings have youth. Just enough to give the Penguins (particularly Crosby and Malkin) fits. Combine that with experience and you have a deadly combination. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
