More skilled NHL team. pittsuburgh penguins or detroit red wings?

Question

who is faster faster more skilled smarter give me your opinion

Answer 1

i like that quote, NIPS.

btw, who is Hossa? he must be some new guy still trying to make his name in the NHL.

oh wait.

Answer 2

i think overall detroit has the edge. but a crosby/malkin vs. a datsyuk/zetterberg..i'll take crosby and malkin.

Answer 3

Its pretty simple...

During Stanley Cup:

Red Wings > Penguins

After free agent signing:

Red Wings + Marian Hossa

Penguins - Marian Hossa

Therefore:

Red Wings >>>>> Penguins

Answer 4

I like the Penguins better, but I think that the Wings have more experience and know what they're doing. The Pens are defintely are good, but remember who won the Cup.

Answer 5

"The Wings are the best team I have ever faced. When I was on or  off the ice, they were everywhere. When I got on the ice and it wasnt Zetterberg and Datsyuk I was like, ok. Then  I realized it didnt matter who was facing our line, they were everywhere. The best coached team I have ever seen in my life." Marian Hossa

Answer 6

The Red Wings won the Stanley Cup so they are more skilled...did you miss that?

Answer 7

i think in a few years pittsburgh will be like detroit.

as everyone said, detroit has the more skilled team there..as a whole, but individually, pittsburgh has some pretty amazing players.

Answer 8

Pens have the younger faster team.

Wings have the more seasoned, skilled players..

Wings win with experience.

Answer 9

Red wings all the way WHOOOOOOOO!

Answer 10

That's why they play the games, to find out that very thing....

Answer 11

the penguins are the faster team, because they're young and explosive, while the wings are slow and disciplined.  the wings are probably more skilled now that they stole Hossa off the penguins, and they are also smarter due to their expirence and age.  

I would have to say that the red wings are the most skilled team in the NHL, and one of the most skilled in any professional sport.   But it will be interesting to see who else Detroit and Pittsburgh get in free agency these next few days.  Ray Shero, the pens GM, is probably looking for a new winger to go with Crosby, and if he pulls in someone like Jagr that deal would definitely put the pens and wings back on the same level.

Answer 12

Who was the idiot that said the Pens are faster? Did you watch the stanley cup finals? The red wings speed was a HUGE reason for their success. They beat the penguins to every loose puck. As a penguins fan it was extremely frustrating watching the games due to the fact that it felt like the wings had twice as many players on the ice as we did. The penguins are the more skilled team, the Red Wings just play that stupid neutral zone trap. Look for more teams to use the garage league style defense of the red wings this coming season

Answer 13

The Red Wings obviously had more skill

Answer 14

well im a pens fan but the red wings just took home the cup, lost nobody important and took our best player in the playoffs marion hossa,  so the wings are definately better in every facet of the game

Answer 15

Two factors tell me the Wings are better.

1. They just beat Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup.

2. Datsyuk/Zetterberg are better than any pair in the NHL and that includes Malkin/Crosby, also, Detroit has a better defense and even with the average age of the team, their speed is very close.

Answer 16

pens

duh
