It's gonna come down to goal tending. Osgood, with so much experience, has the edge here, but Fleury was in the final last year, so he too has experience. As much as it pains me to say this, I believe the D-Town will win again, repeat. I'd say it will be a 6 game series, Detroit wins.
All my Pittsburgh fans always forget that. They alway believe the Crosby & Malkin show always trumps. They are incredible players, but Fleury has not grown that much when it comes down to playoff time. He is solid, but Osgood has been at the next level this time of year.
Seems like Osgood has found way better form than Fleury in this years play-offs, and that might be one of the biggest factors in final series.
Osgood: GAA 2.00 Sv% 92,8
Fleury: GAA 2.64 Sv% 90,6

Why are they doing back 2 back games? So stupid! Seems like the NHL finals always gets rushed so the NBA finals can have more attention.

Nikkala made me do it!
The explanation from Bettman yesterday was that the idea was brought up among several GMs as a way to build momentum interestwise. I'm like :wtf:
It's a good thing that the Lakers clinched Friday night, because game 2 might've started at 3:00 ET if LA lost. :crash:

I really question the credibility of these NBC idiots! Pierre and that dumbass guy were arguing over what the coaches are saying to the players, get the fuck outta here!!!
And can somebody explain to me what does intentional off-sides mean?

It is questionable. Bettman is a snake I tell you.
Exactly what it means: they go off sides intentionally (usually to stop play).

Yeah but it doesnt seem like it benefits, the face off drops outside the zone. I just dont see how they can justify what is intentional :dunno:

NBA probably paid off Bettman to rush this thing. And it makes sense. I mean there is only so little time to talk about Kobe Bryant.
How in the fuck is Malkin not suspended for game three. Oh that's right he's one of the pretty boys that the league is trying to bank on. If that was anybody from the Redwings they would be gone. Hell if it was Kronwall they would have him suspended into next year. If you are going to have rules, enforce them. Not selectively but across the board.
It won't matter much anyhow because the Pens are pretty well done. I think they will pick up one game at home. And the Cup gets raised at the Joe.

Hello Sexy girl how your Toes doing?
Naw man let Malkin be. the Redwings players & brass themselves said, they don't want Malkin suspended, that way, when we win the cup again, the PENGUINS nor their fans can say we (the Redwings / Detroit) got hooked up, cuz they didn't have all their players, and they got cheated cuz Malkin was unfairly suspended...
:nono: Naw don't even give them the satisfaction of being able to use that as excuse, I want all the penguins in the lineup and playing, unless of course they get put out by a hit or something that happens within a game. :nanner: We don't want, nor do we need any favors from the league office, the Redwings without Datsyuk having played yet, are doing just fine, besides all of our YOUNGINS have been puttin it on the penguins so far. :yesyes::hatsoff:

Hell. I don't care if he's in the lineup or not because the Pens are pretty much done anyways. The thing that gets me is the hypocrisy that if it was let's say Cleary that pulled something like that, the league would of ran him out for as long as possible. I hate double standards. Oh well fuck Malkin. We won't see his name on the Cup this year.
if the it was 1 period the pens would win the stanly cup but after 2 periods the redwings just wear you down and beat you . i think the red wings will win in 6 maybe even 5
Usually it comes down to needing a line change to match up against whoever isn't on the ice, or, mostly, because the men out there are tired. It's all strategy.
I can't stand the Red Wings, but damn they are good.
Looks like "The Next One" doesn't match up very well against Lidstrom.
That should change in Pittsburgh. Oh wait. Datsyuk will be back.
Wait...you mean Detroit's Hart trophy finalist hasn't even played these first two games?
The guy who finished with 97 points, 4th in the league hasn't played these first two games?
Our reigning Selke award winning player, and soon to be repeat winner hasn't played these first two games??
Whoa whoa whoa. You're telling me he didn't play the last 3 games in Chicago either?
Detroit in 5.
Me and Marlo will see ya'll at the parade :thumbsup:
