Guest Four Report post Posted May 27, 2009 The Pens have not played a team like Detroit yet. They will think they will be invisible after doing so well with Detroit "struggling". They will be quite surprised the depth the west has to man-handle the Penguins in 5 games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DetroitBoy313 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I'm hoping that we get healthy again and IF we do face the Pens........boy I don't know how to say this without sounding too over confident but I just don't see them beating us.I mean after Sid and Malkin it's Bill Guerin for Christ sake leading the team in points.I just don't think they have faced anything like Detroit yet.

AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) They will be tougher than last time because they added players like Guerin and Kunitz. But still basically a 2-line team. I will be happy if they get re-introduced to Mr. Franzen, run over by Mr. Kronwall and shut down again by Mr. Zetterberg.

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Am I the only person here a little nervous about Pittsburgh? I'm nervous as well, but not as much as I was when I found out we would verse the Ducks. And I always thought the jinx with the trophies was you don't skate around with them. I never thought it mattered whether you picked them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Namingway 146 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) I will start feeling a bit nervous once the Wings beat the Hawks. Just a little bit though. I was looking at the Pens stats compared to ours and I was surprised at how bad their +/- is. Malkin and Crosby are pretty low and considering they're the top 2 point getters in the playoffs thus far, it only means that they almost allow just as many goals against em' as they score for their team. It's been proven time after time that D wins in the Playoffs. I think even the Ducks would be able to take the Pens in a 7 game series if given the chance.

VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 I am a bit nervous...honestly this is the first year out of the four recent cup finals that I am not 100% confident Detroit will win. I am only 95% this time. And yes I know the Wings still have to eliminate Chicago... I absolutely agree. Part of me feels that the Wings still will dominate, but the absence of Datsyuk and Hossa, combined with the stellar play of Crosby and Malkin scares me. Last year Malkin disappered. Now we have the disappearign Russian who carries our team. ROle reversal a bit which scares me. Also, Pittsburgh has the experience that everyone said they lacked last year. We can't really dismiss them for this like last year. It's a much more level playing field than last year and last year was closer than the 6 game series indicates. But then part of me thinks if we can beat Anaheim, we can grind out Pittsburgh. But thenp art of me thinks that Pittsburgh has two Getlafs and one was hard enough to contain. But yet again I think Anaheim had a much more stifling defense. Wow, I guess all I can say is that it's going to be a thrill ride and I don't think I can even begin to predict the winner of this series. Oh, and we have to defeat Chicago. They seem to be broken, let's hope it stays that way. First, because I can actually watch the game tomorrow, and second, because now that Pittsburgh is waiting we need to end this series fast.

SergeiIsMyHero 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 He did that last year too I think. what an idiot no he didn't touch it last year, thats why he said he did this year since last year "it didn't work out so well." then they cut to an unnecessary shot of lemieux saying last time the pens won the cup, he picked up the trophy. blah blah blah who really cares. i'm getting so sick of these pens fans i really hope we shut out the hawks tom. and then can proceed to officially giving the pens a beat down.

yzefan 2 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 (edited) Am I the only person here a little nervous about Pittsburgh? No i am definitely nervous to play the pens. Right now crosby and gino are playing out of this world and they are secondary scoring from 2 other lines. I know they haven't the calibure that Detroit brings but they still concern me. If history has anything to say then that also concerns me . Last time 2 teams meet in back to back cups and all , and finally.. what concerns me the most is the uncertainty of the health of some MAJOR players. If i knew that the boys were healthy then i wouldn't feel as concerned.. just nervous.. but as it stands .. ya i'm NERVOUS!!! Hopefully Hossa brings us luck.. Cause he left them to WIN the cup.. so he better work his ass off to make it happen!!! Edited May 27, 2009 by yzefan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dr Rosenrosen 0 Report post Posted May 27, 2009 Oh noes Jordan Staal is a good defensive player, with his -1 in a series where his team didnt lose 1 game YOU try matching up against the opponent's #1 line every shift while trying to score with Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy on your wing. I thought you guys knew more about hockey than reading a box score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
