HS went 1 for 2 in the semis. Too bad Canes. We took a beating on that one. 9 for 14 over all. There probably goes my pool…..
Bit surprised that Pittsburgh has prevailed-so far. Fleury has been solid and might be the biggest factor in deciding whether or not the Pens drink from Lord Stanley’s tin can. (Assuming, of course, Crosby and Malkin are recording points and performing at their best.) Detroit is simply this: deep. Too deep for any team in the league. (Some GMs should consider trading their whole team for Johan Franzen.) We wouldn’t mind Bylsma’s boys pulling off an upset. But don’t believe it will happen. It’s gonna be closer and more exciting than last year; Guerrin, kunitz and Fedotencko all bring some valuable experience and, ahem, depth to the ‘burghers.
And then there is the Hossa story line to add some spice to the series. Should be worth watching. Wings in 7
