Question

Is anyone willing to put his or her reputation on the line by saying the Penguins will win this year's Cup?

Answer 1

What a genius! Sure, as we all know, the reputation of total strangers REALLY carries a lot of weight! That being said, this series is not over yet. Two games isn't enough to win, it still takes four. The Pens are totally capable of coming back & winning the Cup & to count this series as being in the bag is a large mistake. If the worst happens & the Dead Wings do win the Cup, I'll be one of the first to congratulate them, but that does not change my support of the Pens one bit. I've been a fan since 1961 when they were the Hornets ( a Red Wing farm club, BTW) & nothing changes that. After all, the Wings haven't won the Cup every time they were in the finals, have they ? (The Pens have!)

Answer 2

no

it has only happened once in history that a team has come back to win after being down 0-2 in the SCF. It was the Blackhawks of '75 i believe.

also, the Wings are a well-oiled machine. They penguin are going home with absolutely NO momentum.

This has been the Wings easiest series so far (surprisingly) so unless the Penguins start feeding their players steroids and half of the Wings get injured somehow, my bet is that the Wings will win.

Answer 3

Purely due to superstitious reasons:

The Penguins will win the Stanley Cup this year.

Answer 4

Anyone who says the Pens will win the Cup now is delusional.

Answer 6

The Eastern Conference isn't even half as good as the West, Wings in 4 enough said!

No. I have said all along that the Wings will win this year. The Pens will have their turn soon enough. They are a good team and will have many chances

Answer 8

I may have already done it a week ago. I said they had a decent chance, now it looks like no chance.  Gonna be eating crow

Answer 10

Heavysoviet has already put his reputation on the line before, and as a result he is known as an arsonist now, but he would like to express that Pittsburgh still has a chance at winning the Cup, but heavysoviet does not believe they will.

Answer 11

I am sure their are some takers.. but this WINGS fan aint biting.

Answer 12

My rep has been in question ever since i thought the Sharks would take the Stars......so since i have no rep, i can't take up this challenge.

Answer 13

If it really matter if i said they would then maybe i would, but i dont think it matters and i am a true believer that anything is possible.
