Question

:]

Answer 1

Well i sure hope Detroit does!  MY FAV TEAM!  wouldn't be surprised. They have been first in their league for a long time :)

Answer 2

I'll admit that living in Detroit, I'm more of a Red Wings fan, but I'm a hockey fan in general too (definitely not a bandwagoner or a puck bunny). I'm going with the Wings in 6 to win, although I would prefer they get it in 5 so they can win at home. I'll admit that the Pens are a younger and faster team, but you can't take out the experience factor that Detroit has over them. Zetterberg & Datsyuk are a pretty unstoppable force on the Wings and have worked well together all season. Add that to the fact that Franzen is supposed to be coming back from his injury, Lidstrom is amazing on defense (his 5 Norris Trophies are proof of that), and Osgood has been great in goal, stepping in for Hasek.

Let's go Red Wings!!!

Answer 3

Detroit Red Wings.

Detroit has a bigger and better variety of players, some with outstanding talent, others with tremendous defense, others that are great passers and skaters (open up the ice) and even those who are great at face-offs.

The style that Detroit plays is much different then the rest of the teams in the league. For one thing, they pass a lot, i mean a lot. They learned how to control the play since everything is NOT forward, forward, dump and chase. They pass back if options are running out and reconstruct the play. By passing back they keep possession of the puck and open things up for another attempt at goal. Their passes make them unstoppable and such outstanding offense (Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Holmstrom, Franzen) and great defense (Lidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall). Just the way they play their game makes them a very well constructed team. On top of that, Ozzie is doing great!

Pittsburgh does have talent with Crosby, Malkin, Hossa, but I just think they can't compete with the way Detroit plays. Detroit has strong lines all the way through which passes and I think that will be the difference. The top lines should match up pretty fairly, but the others shall see who is on top. Passing is always better then the usual "dump and chase"

Go Wings Go!

Answer 4

Detroit.

More playoff experience, more cup experience, better defense, slightly better goaltending, style will stifle the opposition more, faceoffs are deadly coupled with puck posession (Pens are lousy on faceoffs), home ice advantage (9 straight Cup winners had home ice), under the radar (only could have happened against the Pens).

Still, i think it goes 6.

Answer 5

penguins because they are a better team

Answer 6

Pens....they have alot of young energy and confidence going into this series. If fleury stays on top of his game, the scorers continue to do what theyve been doing and the role players do what thyve gotta do to shut the other team down, theyll take it. So far the pens have done a pretty decent job of doing this.

Answer 7

The Wings can hurt you in so many ways. They have a great mixture of talent and experience. Lidstrom is the best defensmen in the leage, maybe even the best player. Zetterberg and Datsyuk is one of the best combinations in the game. Homer, Franzen, Kronwall, Filpulla, Rafalski are all good players who add great talent and depth. McCarty and Draper add toughness and grit, and Osgood is playing as good as any goaltender in the playoffs. How many other teams could lose their hottest player (Franzen, 12 goals in 11 playoff games) and still keep winning? If he comes back, I could see the Red Wings winning in as little as five games. If not, it's the Wings in six.
