Are the wings playing a high school team?

Question

Doesnt it feel like the wings are playing a high school or junior team. I mean its the finals and 2 games have been played with 0 goals for the CrosPens. Looks like Bettman is going to have to threaten the Wings players to lighten up so his Pens can win.

Answer 1

Buff, i have said it 2-3 times here...they are playing the Pittsburgh Kryers Bantam AA team!

I didn't ask, what I said is, it looks like it's the Wings vs the refs and Gary Bettman and how it looks as if the Wings are playing against a bantam team, not the Eastern Conference Champions.

Character comes with Class and Experience PERIOD!

Hence Pitt loses.

Answer 2

Nothing is gonna stop the wings this year, they are truely the best. They really need to win so their goalie (D. Hasek) can retire happy. They really deserve to win.

Answer 3

Veterans vs. a young team. Sounds about right.

Answer 4

I don't think that at all.  The Pens are a very good team.  They did resort to a lot of cheap stuff out of frustration.  But all in all they are a very good team with a lot of skill.  They are just running in a older more mature team that has been there before.

Answer 5

Isn't this kind of what many people were predicting even before the playoffs?

Answer 6

Oh heck no.  The Penguins didn't play the Wings during the regular season (strike one) and they don't have the depth of playoff experience that the Wings have (strike two).  The Penguins are a good team -- you don't get to the Stanley Cup Finals by accident.  They have a lot of talent and they play well together.  The first two games were a wake-up call for the Penguins.  Now we'll have to see how they respond.  I still think the Wings are going to take it all, but I'll be VERY surprised if they sweep.

Answer 7

Gee, can the Dead Wings walk on water that isn't frozen ? How come they didn't go thru the reg. season & the play-offs undefeated if they're so overwhelming ?

Answer 8

If so, I'd be ashamed to be a fan of the Sens, Rangers, and Flyers right now. Hopefully the Pens will have better luck back home tomorrow. So far this has been the least interesting Stanley Cup series since ... maybe ever.

Answer 9

The Pens look no different than the Stars did in the last round, or even how the Flyers looked against the Pens last round also.  The better team in the playoffs always shines.  Also, the Pens have been on the road and havent had their youthful spirits lifted by their home crowd., Game 3 will tell alot about the character of the Pens and how young they really are compared to the Wings.  My guess is, game 3 will be very competitve, alot more evenly played, but then again, it could be 4-0 if the pens dont start gelling..
