EMALKIN 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 It's looking more and more like a CUP rematch from last year. I would like to talk about this matchup without all of you guys being biased. I would love to hear you guys elaborate if you pick wings in 6 games ( just an example ). Datsyuk isn't healthy...Hossa isn't performing to the level he didn in regular season. Zetterberg has been solid. Franzen...Damn he's nasty. With Datsyuk and Hossa not playing to their potential and Crosby and Malkin being 10x better this year than last. I am picking the pens to win the cup in 7. How do you guys feel? NOTE: KEEP IT CIVIL. Discuss...DON'T BASH. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincanni 1 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 While I agree with your inkling, I typically don't discuss such things until they're set in stone. Besides there's going to be some mandatory downtime between the CFs and the SCFs so we'll have more then enough time to discuss this to death then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

babycks0612 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 I do think it could be us vs. the pens this yr but well have to wait and see. It is going to be tough but we can do it. At first I didnt want them to play against them if we do make it, but it would be nice if we could beat them 2 yrs in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10 Minute Misconduct 104 Report post Posted May 22, 2009 All i have to say is: Detroit is still a better team then Pittsburgh. Detroit has more top end talent up front, has more depth up front. Detroit has 3 lines that can score goals constantly. Pittsburgh does have more depth then last year but not as many big weapons, ie. Hossa, Malone. On the back end its not really close. Gonchar is playing on one knee and i dont see the likes of Scudari, Gill, Boucher, Eaton shutting down Detroits 2nd or 3rd lines. I think the back end will be the deciding factor. Pittsburgh hasn't gone up against stiff competition on the back end yet, Osgood is outplaying Fluery. Wings in 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
