Stanley Cup finals, Red Wings Vs Penguins
 

my picks went to hell, so who you got

I have Pittsburgh in 7, the scoring power of Crosby, Malkin and Hossa have been so dominant in the playoffs, even though Zetterberg and Datsuk have been very solid as well

but i think it will really come down to goal tending, and i would have to pick Fleury over Osgood in this one

If the Penguins win, I hope it's Malkin who keeps shining over Crosby and
gets the Conn Smythe. Maybe then the media would realize it ain't all about
Sid Das Kid.


That said...Wings in 6.

and did you watched worldcup in ice hockey this year?

is this american soccer you are talking about? it all sounds very exiting. i am going with the penguins for there bility to swim underwater.

Penguins hands down.

And this man is the rocket-fueled dynamo that will pave their way into sweet victory:

just to throw my bullshit in here

personally, I despise hockey. I would suffere everytime that football season ended because all they would show was hockey on television on weekends.
being from Puerto Rico, and growing up in Houston, hockey was like an alien thing, and I ahve never liked it.

I hoped and desired for hockey to be wiped offthe face of the earth, and then, two years ago, my dream came true!!!!! they actually CANCELLED HOCKEY for a season! It was the most glorious year of my sports watching life. No fucking boring ass hockey. No stupid staged fights. no more ice skating. It was GLORIOUS.

and the best part is, that because of the strike and the cancelled season, hockey is dying a slow and painful death, and is only shown druing the regular season on cable channels such a Versus which only about 20 americans get.

DREAMS CAN COME TRUE PEOPLE!

i could not watch the hockey world cup cause it wasn't on any US tv outlet, but i am ecstatic that Russia beat Canada in OT in the final, Ovechkin gets gold there and shall get the hart soon

and actually at the gate, the NHL outdrew the NBA in regular season attendance

I don't give a fuck what anybody else thinks, hockey is the best game to
watch in person.

And go ask Joey Kocur how staged NHL fights are.

when you have two or three guys on your team who are there solely to get into "fights" while the refs just watch like in WWF, that is pretty damn stupid to me.

Penguins in 6 even though they make me want to puke.

same here. in Ireland they don't even know what's ice. no info about word cup on tv, not even on Euronews(!) and 6.50 Eur for a game on the internet, fuck that. I was surprised Canada lost home.

same with NHL, you have to have sky sports and I have enough bills to pay, don't know what's going in NHL at all. many players from my country play in NHL. I like hockey. Penguins used to be good, no? Do they have any chance this year?

He's probably the toughest although Donald Brashear might disagree with this statement :p

No, Penguins used to be shit and this has been their greatest year in a long time.

right now i think the Penguins are the most loaded team with their depth, the top 3 aside they have Jordan Stall, Petr Sykora, Sergei Gonchar, Ryan Malone

going into next year even if Hossa leaves, i think along with the Caps they will both look the best in the east for a while

which is highly probable, unfortunately.

those are the enforcers. if your team didn't have them, the other team would have their way with best goal scorer every time he went near the glass.

detroit in seven. this could be one of the best playoff series in recent memory.

Penguins be gettin' smoked.

I have faith that back at home for game 3 the pens will turn things around!
Yes, I think they will actually score a goal!

Well, Chris Osgood has been bullet-proof so far. Too bad, I still hope for the penguins though.
