@ryan,

Well, I guess I was a little optimistic, but:

@furby,
considering its now 2-0, 3-1 both games, and the wings have effectively stopped both malkin and crosby, and fleury is letting just about anything by, i would say the pens in 6 is a done statement. I think its great that players like Malkin, leading in points, loses his cool because he can’t beat the wings defense. Or that the pens are spearing goalies. And yes, Crosby again whined about calls etc, but you didn’t see him whinning about the cheap shots he was making. Face it, the pens get too frustrated when they are out-classes. They may have some great players, but as a team they are outclassed by the wings.

Hey Wingers, if you want to see how to REALLY insult the Pens go to the comments on either the Philadelphia Inquirer or the Washington Post. Both questioned Crosby’s gender and denigrated the rest of the Pens. Go to those papers comments to see how to REALLY post poison comments. And go there to see how the big bad Philly fans and the Caps contingent were soooo sure they were going to dispatch the delicate Pens.

And, while you are there you should also read all of the reasons why neither team prevailed against the mighty penguin. Couldn’t skate with the Pens. Didn’t hit with the Pens. Defenses a step behind. Unable to stop opportunistic counter attacks. Goalies suddenly porous. Poor coaching. NHL conspiracy. Unlucky bounces. Read ‘em and weep Flyers and Caps. Pens ruled.

Be aware too, Wings Fans, that the Pens have been written off as too European for three series. And in each one they have hit harder, skated faster, shot more, and scored more goals than their critics imaginations would allow. They have played better team defense, too.

So don’t be so sure of yourselves — at least entertain the possibility that this year is for real and last year was the fluke.

Pens in five.

The Real Stanley Cup finals was the Redwings against the Ducks…whoever won that series was going to win the cup.

Wings, Sharks or Ducks could beat Penguins this year.

Wings in 6 if they are banged up…Wings in 5 if Datsyuk returns to form

Guess we will have to live with 2 weeks of propaganda about how Cindy Crosby will single handedly beat a deep and talented Wings team…same crap as last year…and they actually PAY these sportswrites to write this stuff ?

Keep smoking that crack…pens in six? You gotta be kidding me! Crosby is a bitch and as soon as he gets hit he’s a non factor. The Pens have been playing against other bitches in the eastern confrence and now they they have to play against the west where the big boys play (who don’t cry about every call or non call). Wings in 5 even if datsyuk or lidstrom don’t play. I can’t wait for Helm to lay out that bitch-ass Crosby! If the Ducks or the Blackhawks had made it, they would beat the Pens as well. If the refs don’t listen to Bettmen red wings in 4 if they do wings in 5…put that in your pipe and smoke it!

As a Pens fan I was surprised to see you favor them.

My view is that the back-checking of the Wings forwards is so impressive that it may determine the series. If they can keep up with the speed of the Pens, the Wings can clog up their defensive end and slow the game — to the Pens detriment. Don’t get me wrong. I’d like to see the Pens favored, but I will have to see them beat the back checking of the Wings to believe it.

I think that the Wings have got more than you thing going for them and their going to win it. Maybe in seven, but they will win. You have to have faith.
