ESPN Jinx

[Selke13 0]

Ive watched ESPN the last few days and they all seem to have predicted the wings winnging. this goes back to game 5. what i dislike most was that they have analysts talking about hockey on shows like around the horn and pti. i dont think what they say has an impact, but since everything ESPN says about hockey is wrong, id rather have them chose the pens. and Melrose also picked the wings.

There was no Jinx or anything. The Pens just wanted the cup more and they won because of it.

Hell, every damned stat was pointing to a Wings victory.

Teams that go 2-0 in the playoffs have won 41 of 44 of the series. Welp, now its 41 of 45.

Teams that win game 5 when the series is tied 2-2 win over 80% of the series. Welp, that may go down to 79%.

Teams that host game 7 at home have won 12 of 14 times. Welp, now its 12 of 15 times.

Jinx? I think not. This was just a story of a Pens team that wanted it more.

i started the thread being somewhat sarcastic. I realize the team that played better won. However, I do not believe the best team won.

And I think that was the Wings problem. They know they are the better team and it got to their heads. They thought, " hey we are up 2-0, this will be a cake walk then " so we lost 2 but got under their skin in game 5 like we did Chicago so it is ours to win now" and became complacent and lost the series as a result.
