6) Who wins game 1? score?

Answer 1

1) for chris and kates sake Hal Gill

2) i think they will dominate!

3) i think both are really good! and both were hot throughout the series but i think osgood will cool down!

4)you cant im sorry

5)i think pens 4-3

Answer 2

1. For the Wings, Dallas Drake.  The guy's spent 14 years in the NHL and has never made it to a finals until now.  I think his goal in game 6 will get him started up.

2. Detroit's top line will perform better, but Pitt's second line will dominate.

3. Osgood will be hotter.  He is Detroit's feel good story right now, gone and now back again.  He's got a lot to prove, and he will follow through.

4.  I'm worried about this one.  I don't think he will be nearly as hot as he was in rounds 1 and 2.  A concussion will do that to you...

5. You put the best defenseman in the league on the ice (Niklas Lidstrom).  It's going to be hard to stop the Wings.

6. Wings 3-2 in overtime

Answer 3

1) Pens: Pascal Dupuis,Red Wings: Valtteri Filppula

2) Both will do fine.My edge is going to the Red Wings though.

3) Fleury is doing better at the moment but he will start to wear down against the Red Wings.

4) Franzen will be up and running as he was throughout the whole playoffs in my opinion.

5) Really I don't think you can stop the Hossa/Malkin/Crosby trio.You just gotta hope that your goalie can stay on his feet and hope for the best.Same goes for Zetterberg/Datsyuk/Holmstrom trio.You just gotta hope Holmstrom's huge *** doesn't get too much in the way of the goalies face or he's gonna be mega screened.

6) Red Wings. I suck at predictions but i'm gonna say 4-2.

Answer 4

1. Tyler Kennedy or Max Talbot will be coming up big in this series

2. i personlly think its gonna be a tuff match up, but i think Crosby-Hossa-Dupuis will dominate the wings down low and along the boards.

3. i think Osgoods, time has run out. Im no pittsburgh fan but i think young guns just have the scoring touch. Too many gifted scorers. Crosby, Malkin, Hossa, Sykora, Malone, Gonchar

4. nah, Franzen is done, its hard to come back from a conky, and be back to normal

5. i dunno if you can stop those lines, but you just have to minimize the damage. Just make sure to get your hits in on them when you get the chance.

6. Pittsburgh wins 4-3 in overtime. Hossa GWG on pp

Answer 5

hossa

good

well, pitt hasntreally played a good team(or at least one not playing at full potential) so i would say osgood.

normal self

\being physical, intimidation,

pray

redwings 4-3

Answer 6

1. Cleary.

2. Pretty well, should see some fierce competition.

3. Too hard to tell, let's see how both of them will do in game one.

4. He will not be on his hot streak anymore, but I think he can still contribute.

5. With a strong defense!

6. Wings win 3-2.

Answer 7

Ready for this,

1) Orpik, jk, Stahl!

2) Extremely well. But ill give the edge to the pens

3) Fluery, osgood is good but he can easily be beat playing a awesome team,ie, the pens

4)Franzen will simmer down very fast. i bet he wont score a goal until game 3

5) You can never stop the pens. they are amazing. the are so much stronger that the redwings. How do you stop the wings, score on osgood. tear their goalie apart.

6) Pens: 3

     Redwings:2

    In OT!!!

Answer 8

Sweet Avatar Pic Playboy

1) On the Wings-Dallas Drake I'm sure, On the Pens- Sykora

2) Its going to be a battle..

3) Well, Considering Ozzie has more Playoff Experience i would like to say Osgood, but It can go Fleury's way. He's got alotta pressure on him .

4) All of us Wings fans hope he'll stay Hot, but Usually after a long break, it kinda kills their rhythm. Its kinda like how Clearz got injured, Hasn't been the same

5) Crosby Malkin and Hossa, Honestly? Unstoppable, Unless you try and make NO ice room for Crosby and Malkin, but there that good to find it. And as for the Hank Pavs and Homer and Lidstrom, Honestly just finish your checks, but Good luck gettin through P. Datsyuk

6) I don't want to Jinx. LOL

Answer 9

Warning: Homer alert.  It's the SCF, and it's smack-talk time.  If you don't like it, stop here. :-)

1) Dallas Drake is gonna bring his A game.

2) Detroit will be hot.  Penns will be a bit surprised by Detroit's puck possession and will be thrown off their game.  

3) Fleury is going down.  .  

4) Franzen's normal self is hawt!

5) How do you stop Crosby, Malkin, and Hossa? Liddy, Raffie and Ozzie.  

How about Hank/Pavs/Homer/Lidstrom/Rafalski? Pray.  

6) Detroit wins 3-2.

Answer 10

1. kennedy for pens.

2. equally good

3. fleury is hotter (no, im not talkin about looks u stupid puck bunnies). he made better-quality saves in his last game than osgood did in his last game. i dont think either will cool down. they cant afford it. goals will mostly come from weird bounces, unexpected deflections, etc.

4. im hopin his normal self. probly will be normal, though, since he hasnt had real game intensity level hockey in a while.

5. all: play physical, dont give them room to move or shoot. cut off pass lanes to them. PLAY SMART! (which unfortunately the young pens dont do enough of.)

6. no predictions from me, thank u. final score could be 2-1 or 3-2 for either side, though.

Answer 11

1. I think Franzen will come back and go crazy for Detroit.

2. The top lines will probably do okay for both teams.  Detroit's will probably do better since they don't have to go up against the top defense in the league.

3. I'll let the girls handle that question.

4. He will stay hot and firing.

5. You stop Crosby, Malkin, and Hossa with a healthy dose of Lidstrom, Rafalski, Stuart, Kronwall, Chelios, Lebda, and Lilja.

6. Detroit with a score of 5-2.

Answer 12

1. I would say everyone is gonna step it up on both teams because of the circumstances.

2. Both teams top lines will play their hearts, especially the Pen's top line.

3. From what I've seen, they both look amazing, but I think Fleury looks a little bit better. Neither will cool down.

4. I think he'll stay HOT HOT HOT.

5. Good, strong defence, great checking and lots of pressure.

6. Detroit 4-3 in overtime!

Answer 13

1. Filpulla will score a couple of times and land a few assists

2. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, and Homer will account for a total of 10 goals in the finals.

3. They are both pretty hot, but i think Fleury is hotter. The Red Wings dominate possession, so Osgood takes less shots.

4. He will still be hot. It's not that he's in a groove, he is just doing some different things and nobody has figured him out yet.

5. You stop Crosby, Malkin, and Hossa by playing keepaway when they are on the ice. The Red Wings will dominate possession and not allow they Penguins' top players to get too many chances. I don't think you can stop Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Homer, while Lidstrom controls the tempo of the game. Even if Lidstrom doesn't get a point, he will still be a factor.

6. The Red Wings win 4 to 2.

Answer 14

1. I don't know.....for the Penguins I have a feeling Tyler Kennedy will really pull through.

2. I cannot predict.

3. They're about even right now.........which will cool down? We'll have to wait and see.

4. He'll be his normal self.

5. You can't stop Crosby....Malkin...Hossa....=b You just can't. You can ease them up, but there's no stopping them. Try and stop them and you'll only make them mad.

6. I CANNOT PREDICT!

Answer 15

i am trying not to sound overzealous but I have to guess...

1) George Laraque

2)Decently they get 1/2 of the points

3)hotter fleury(he has faced more shots)\

cool down Osgood (the pens will hopefully fire from all angles and find a weak spot) (he will see so many more shots)

4) I say not hot but better than himself

5) You don't... then have george, jarrko, or gary (may he rest and return to us) hit the rest of them into place... or have tyler Kennedy throw some phyco boy punches at them

6) penguins (hopefully) at 3-2 (I am not trying to predict i just hope)
