[NHL] Pittsburg at Detroit - Page 5 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

Not only that, but Trevor Robinson is starting at center tonight with Matlby and Draper, I am really excited.

As for my recent posts, yes I say it is not a series and then say Pens have a chance... the point I was getting at is that hockey is unlike any other sport, one team can dominate 6 games in a row and still lose 4 of the 6 games because of a hot goalie and some flukes, my point was Detroit has been dominating this series but I still am very worried that the Pens will pull it off, let's hope not

fair enough. i'll say this, detroit dominated games 1 and 2, there is no way around that. i thought the pens had the better of the play in game 3, i thought game 4 could do either way. as for game 5, i think the pens won the first period, 2nd was fairly even. 3rd was dominated by detroit as was the first OT, i thought the pens played better in the 2nd OT and detroit had the better of the play in the 3rd despite losing, so all in all it was fairly even. Honestly, as a fan who has been to many pens games and followed them all year, please do not just look at shot totals. the pens got outshot all year, thats just how they play. detroit has played better, no doubt, but i think its a series and if the pens win tonight anything can happen in game 7.

ya know, ive never really liked hockey or even cared enough to sit down and watch a game.....but all be damned if this series hasnt gotten me on the couch every game to watch! For some reason, I'm loving the underdog mentality of the Penguins....just thought I would share that, Im a newly created hockey fan!

**WeisWeisBaby** · 06-04-2008, 02:31 PM

underdog mentality of the PENGUINS? they are nothing but cocky young kids that whine when things don't go their way, have to disagree... everyone has written off Detroit from the start of the lockout until now as being too old, too many europeans, etc... they are the underdogs in my book

**dylan020** · 06-04-2008, 02:34 PM

ahhh ok, i've only watched the series and seems like everybody is saying detroit is going to wrap it up and pitt is lucky to play this many games....ha shows how much i watch hockey, hell i dont even know the rules. Im a baseball catcher so I just really enjoy the physical part of the game

**irishmarine** · 06-04-2008, 02:35 PM

the wings are the best team in hockey and europeans are better than americans at hockey too. how can they be underdogs? yes the penguins are a young hotheaded team in some cases but every young team is hot headed at points. detroit has the knowledge and experience of championship hockey pitt has a couple of veterans but mostly young guys. im not a fan of either team but its been an interesting match up. and hopefully brings some fans back to hockey

WWB, if you think the Wings are the underdogs, I want some of what you are smoking, b/c obviously it goes straight to your brain......
