Stanley Cup Finals

[LSUY]

I'm surprised there isn't a thread on this already.

After Detroit's 4-0 win in Game 1 who do you think will win Game 2 and eventually the cup?

Personally I can't see past Detroit in game 2 but I think Pittsburgh will take games 3 and 4.

Looking ominous for Pittsburgh after a 3-0 beating in game 2.

Hope your right about them winning games 3 and 4 as they are the team I've loosely supported in the NHL for years.

My prediction was wrong. I've never seen Pittsburgh so bad at home.

Malkin has been awful all series. Sorry, I know that isn't fair, awful would be a complement to the way he has been playing. He can't hit a cow's ass with a banjo at the moment.

Also we aren't taking advantage of the power plays. We got a 5 versus 3 situation last night and we only tested the goalie once.

The Red Wings have won this. I can't see Pittsburgh turning it around on Monday in Detroit.

I kinda lost interest once the Rangers went out... Although I hoped Pittsburgh would go on to win it, I've never liked the Red Wings...

Pittsburgh clawed one back. Can they level the series???

 

[nightgoat]

I hope so... Detroit must be pretty bummed having been 34 seconds away from winning the Stanley Cup...

Phew...that was close. Fleury was out of this world - 55 saves.

I have to admit I'm shocked. I didn't think our players had that sort of will and determination left. Also when we got that power play in the 3rd overtime I had the exact same feeling I get when Spurs get a corner - 'Oh God no, not another one. We don't score from these.'

His save from Samuelsson in the 2nd period was awesome...

Fucking swedes took the cup... Even Detroit won but after 2 first games Crosby has been almost on same level as Gretzky but Zetterber took Conn Smythe Trophy which should have gone to Crosby as He was definitely best player on the ice in whole series.

Without being completely biased, how awesome does Datsyuk's stick look? :wink:

To think he's only 20 and was playing hurt. How good is he going to be when he reaches his late 20s?

Don't worry Defsta, next year you will get to see Jarkko Ruutu hold the cup. :wink:

I hope not as I hate him and he looks like a troll... And I have been waiting for Oilers to win a cup since '90, but our youngsters will bring it back to hockeytown next season :up:
