[NHL] Pittsburg at Detroit - Page 6 - Notre Dame Football Discussion

All the experts picked San Jose or Anaheim to win the cup, am I right?

After the lockout everyone said Detroit would fall apart because they couldn't buy a team anymore, am I correct?

The knock on Europeans is they they do not have the grit and toughness as the Canadian counterparts, am I correct?

Osgood is on the brink of an amazing postseason yet Don Cherry won't consider him a good goalie, what is up with that?

Det is favored in this series, but overall Detroit has been the underdog story the past couple seasons and finally everything is clicking.

true the canucks seem to be a little "harder" but the skill the europeans ahve is second to none. your goalie is playing great. even that score to tie it wasnt his fault i mean it was a great heads up play by the penguins to stay after the puck. and don cherry are you serious? have you seen how the man dresses i wouldnt put too much stock in some of the things he says. granted he knows his hockey but there are always people who say dumb things. the wings goalie is playing well as is the detroit defense until late in the games when sometimes they look a little tired.

All I am saying is most people picked the Penguins to win the cup when the finals started, the only ESPN guy otherwise was EJ. Hradek, who chose the wings in 6

Actually I only saw one guy pick the Pens among the "experts" but whatever, enjoy it

Good series, I was finally able to sleep for a solid 5 hours last night, first in a long time....

**PADOMERNUT** · 06-05-2008, 12:53 PM

games 1 and 2 sucked (from a pens fan point of view) but games 3-6 were all great, including a classic game 5. all one goal games. i think the nhl got its money's worth.....i was fortunate enough to go to game 3, a pens win and my first cup finals game ever, and despite losing the series, it was something i'll never forget. WWB, thoughts on a rematch next year?
