Hito

Heh, I agree about Hossa needing to up his game.  But we need to face reality, Hossa is not a #1 "carry the team" player.  But how crushing would it be to be on the losing side of the SCF two years running on seperate teams?

But at the same time he isn't the only one that needs to up his game.

We aren't out, but we've dug ourselves a nice little hole.

This is exactly what I feared after watching the first two games.  The Wings look tired out there, and it's leading to mistakes.  The only reason we aren't out in 4 is because Ozzie stood on his head and Fleury played like crap for 2 games.  They aren't winning the battles and are making lazy passes, resulting in too many golden opportunities for the Pens.  In the ffensive zone, they have looked disorganized and unable to really get going for more than the occasional short strech of game.  Playing 20-30 minutes a night just isn't going to cut it.

I see us dropping game 5 much as these last two, game six will be a toss up as we will have had 2 days of rest going into it.  On their home ice, smelling blood, and hungry after last year I don't like our chances.  Being worn down by the Ducks and losing Dats is looking like just too big of a hurdle to overcome.

Unless Ozzie puts in a tremendous performance for a couple of games (maybe), or our offense suddenly takes off (unlikely), or the Pens suddenly choke (more unlikely), it's looking to me like the Pens in 6.  I'll keep my fingers crossed that we can take it to a winner take all game seven, but I just don't see the wings, as they have played this series, pulling this out.  Still a good run (although I feel sorry for Hossa).

Prove me wrong boys.

Epic bump

/watch out, it's hot

I suck at the game but I can at least provide another warm body on the ice if needed.

Suppose I'll throw mine out there as well since I finally got signed up.
