Stanley Cup Final

Anyone else gonna watch this one? Should be a great rematch from last year's final. With Pittsburg's stars a little bit better this year, and Detroit a lot more beaten up, it could definitely go either way. I'm picking Pittsburg in 7... anyone else?

The Hossa storyline should be interesting.

If you don't know, he played for the Pens last year when they lost to Detroit in the finals for the cup. In the off season, he was offered ridiculous money by a few teams including a very nice offer to stay Pittsburgh. He chose to take less money and go over to Detroit because he felt they had the best chance to get his name on the cup.

Ya, I couldn't believe Hossa did that. Who leaves the 2nd best team in the NHL because they just aren't good enough? That and Edmonton was one of the teams offering "rediculous money". Imagine how that dude will feel if Pittsburg beats Detroit.

It's nice to see the two best teams playing for the Stanley Cup. I'd like to see Pittsburgh win, but if I was betting money I'd have to put it on Detroit.

Washington was pretty tough too.

I hate to sound like a homer, but going with Pittsburgh in 5 games.

The Pens are playing their best hockey of the season right now. They are hungry and not just happy to be here this year.

Plus, Detroit is kind of nicked up.

Washington was tough, but I'd put Anaheim at #3 in the playoffs. They were playing as well as anyone at the end of the year.

What an awful first game. Tight checking and every goal decided by wierd bounces. Hope the other games make this one the epic series it has the potential to be.

It's getting mighty interesting. Good to see Osgood become Osbad. Go Tuxedos!

I don't think Osgood's playing particularly badly, but I think the Red Wings look mighty tired. It's not like them to give up the puck as much as they have been the past two games. Hopefully the trend continues.
