Guest RedWiggler Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 I am going to cheer for the Pens. My opinion is that these are the 2 most skilled teams in the league and they both have some grit as well which I think adds up to a very exciting series. Tough to pick a winner in this one, one would think the Wings are unstoppable but you can not discount the players on the Pens. Should be a beauty. Quote
admin Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 It'll be a good tough series. I'm sticking by my previous prediction of Pens in 6. Quote
Brownstone Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 since Philly beat my Habs and the Pens beat Philly .. forced to say Pens in 7 .. Quote
Taco Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 They still playin' playoff hockey??? Shoot, I lost interest in 1986 Quote
Ayr Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 While the Pens are an awesome/exciting team and will be for awhile, this year the Wings will school them much like the Oilers were schooled by the Islanders a year before beginning their dynasty. The Wings will pick them apart with superior coaching, winning experience and most importantly their defensive corps is like nothing the Pens have faced thus far. Wings in six. Ayr. Quote
reevesr1 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Pens are the sexy pick, and are more fun to watch. Unfortunately, the Red Wings are kinda like the Spurs in Basketball. Everyone is tired of them, but they just keep winning. Wings in 6 Quote
Lundvike Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Red Wings in 7. I don't like them but I think they are the superior team here. Quote
1DryFly Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 Unpredictable! Only Maggie the monkey can answer this question!! It's gonna be some awesome though watching the March of the Penguins vs the Big Red Machine! It's what the NHL wants and needs for a Stanley Cup final! This WILL be a great series!! Being from Halifax, and watching Sid play for Rimouski...I have to hope they WIN! Malkin, NHL MVP!! Go PENS Go!!! Quote
Hawgstoppah Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 I cant pick this one BUT ... I dare say... whoever wins game one... is going to win this series... in my opinion. Quote
highwoodfisher Posted May 26, 2008 Posted May 26, 2008 I'm completely neutral. I have no idea. each team has its strengths Quote
TerryH Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 oh god, when will hockey be over...Saturday night. Quote
Guest RedWiggler Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 GEEEEZZZZ!!! how good are the Wings?? I would like to change my prediction from the Pens winnning to the Wings in 4. Quote
chidders Posted May 27, 2008 Posted May 27, 2008 Who would have seriously thought that going into game 3 the pens would have yet to score? WOW! Quote
birchy Posted May 28, 2008 Author Posted May 28, 2008 I know.. it's insane. Most people usually say that the Western teams are quite a bit stronger than the Eastern teams... Interestingly enough.. Ottawa cruised through the playoffs last year and then got crushed by Anaheim in the finals. Pittsburgh's cruised through this year and so far, are getting crushed by Detroit. Cup winners since 2000: # 2007 Anaheim Ducks # 2006 Carolina Hurricanes # 2005 Season Cancelled # 2004 Tampa Bay Lightning # 2003 New Jersey Devils # 2002 Detroit Red Wings # 2001 Colorado Avalanche # 2000 New Jersey Devils 4 Eastern.. 3 Western.. So there you go, you can argue a case either way I suppose. Quote

birchy Posted June 6, 2008 Author Posted June 6, 2008 Again.. the Red Wings make me nauseous. I think the comparison to the '83 Oilers vs. the NY Islanders was a good one. Quote
