Detroit v Pittsburgh final

Game 1 in Detroit saturday night

: Mon Jun 01, 2009 2:50 pm  

Detroit won the first two games 3-1. With Pittsburgh having home ice for the next two games they are going to have to make it count to have any chance.

Can't see anything other than a clean sweep for the Wings TBH. The Wings have shut down the Pens offense completely and left with really only the neutral zone to play in, as soon as they reach the Detroit blue line they end up having to force the puck in and the outcome is the Wings come out with it time and again.

Must be showing different games in the UK to what is being broadcast in the States. Biggest difference maker so far has been Lady Luck, with Osgood getting the breaks and Fleury getting none.

Just the way I see it and the lady luck or not as you call it the Pens need to score more than 1 goal a game to beat the Wings. Wings have been great at stopping the Pens offense and not really leaving them with alot of great scoring opportunites, where as the Wings have been much better at getting the puck in and around the net and taking the chances when they get them.

Don't rate Osgood that much but when it comes to the play offs he is a totally different player and seems to play at another level. Can't see the Pens getting much from this series at all unless the Wings run out of gas.

Pitt tie the series at 2-2,never count a team out until they've lost at home.

Great turn around by the Pens as they are crashing the net and getting the puck in and around the detroit goal which they didn't do much of or well enough in the first 2 games in the motor city.

Still think Detroit will claim the cup though.
