    I may be crazy but I like the Wings in 5. The Eastern Conference this year is the JV and I just don't think the Pens are that deep.
    They're good enough to go 6 or 7 games, if not win it.
    The thing about this matchup is that neither team has played poorly for any length of time (i.e. a bad game a series at best).

    I'll agree with you there. The Pens are coming in red hot for sure as are the Wings, but I just don't think the East was that good this year.

    I agree with the East not being that good this year, but the Pens elevated their game big time with the start of the post season. I'll be going for Detroit, but I won't be surprised if it goes the other way around.

    agreed, that is great, Dallas seemed to be flat in terms of support and there were more and more grey seats along the first bowl during the regular season since the lock-out

    agreed, Morrow is a stud, he really has impressed alot of people during this play-off run and hopefully cemented his spot on the 2010 Canadian Olympic team

    And Marty has really shown what he's made of this time around. I'm really happy for them.

    Brendan is rocking this joint, that's for sure.

    says that guy who thinks the Wild are exciting to watch

    The Wild are infinitely more exciting to watch than the Wings. The Avalanche - Wild series was the best series of these playoffs.

    I will probably crack and watch a game or two these finals, but I expect to see the Wings suck the life out of the Pens by not showing any emotion, scoring 4 power play goals per game and winning the series with little hurrah.

    Zetterberg's goal the other night was nice though. Score one for the grey guys.

    Thanks. I didn't get to see the last two games of the Wings/Stars series so that's why I must've missed it.

    I thought diving was discouraged in this sport? There were a couple of dramatic flops in this game.

    Why am I watching this game? Seriously, nobody can tell me that they have seen an entertaining Wings game in at least 15 years. No retaliation. No aggression. No edge. Just 100% disciplined play and power play after power play. It's dreadful to watch. Even the players are bored. I saw Lidstrom reading a make-your-own barrel sauna book on the bench to pass the time.
