Things that worry me, things that make me optimistic

As a Pens fan I'm concerned about Dats being healthy enough to frustrate Malkin in the remainder of series. Also don't like having to play 2 games in the Joe. However, I think one of the biggest stories unfolding here from a positive perspective is that MAF is getting better as the series progresses and Oz is getting worse. Came on yesterday and took a lot of abuse for calling Pens in 6. Still sticking by my prediction but expect Saturday to be a war and for the Wings to mount a furious rally at beginning of game.

I have a feeling that Fleury won't be so great in our house, and Ozzy will play much better. That just SCF jitters. As our road trip wore on, our confidence wore down (and so did our energy/legs). However, just like the Pens in their 2 games in Detroit, Fleury looked shaky. I expect this on through the series. That's why I am so glad that we have home ice advantage. And honestly, I think if Pens had home ice advantage they would be locked to win the cup (from looking at the current situation).

Coming back home and playing in front of their crowd at the Joe will give the Red Wings one hell of a boost. I just hope not too many Pens fans are there.

Ozzie was fine last game. The Wings offered him ZERO support.

Pens only need ONE win at the Joe if they win tomorrow night.

That said, Wings in 7.
