Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Detroit Red Wings
…..where to start. Common sense says predict the Detroit Red Wings, but my I am leaning towards the Pitsburgh Penguins.
Common sense says Detroit because both the Red Wings and the Penguins have basically the same exact teams as last season, except Marian Hossa is on the Red Wings now rather than the Penguins. So taking that into assumption, the Red Wings should easily win the Cup again.
But, I absolutely love the way Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are playing. They are basically taking turns leading their team in these playoffs so far. Both are on pace for potential record breaking playoff point totals with 28 points each so far.
The other reason I like the Penguins is because of Nik Lidstrom and Pavel Datsyuk and their mysterious injuries. These are not only two of the best Red Wings, but two of the best players in the world who are potential out and definitely not 100% assuming they come back.
But then again, the Red Wings are the Red Wings and they could easily go through these Penguins in five games. I have been saying this for every series so far but Pavel Datsyuk and Marian Hossa have been very lackluster so far and if they get on fire, then the Penguins have zero chance.
Pittsburgh Penguins in 7 games!
