CB's Offical Stanley Cup Thread CapitalistBastard !!f/pELCnjRD0
Well gentlemen, The day has finally arrived.

Everyone's pre-season final prediction has come true. Detroit v Pittsburgh, every true hockey fan's dream matchup.

I think you are trying to imply that you are a "true hockey fan" and not some pimply fourteen-year-old whose parents bought him a Crosby sweater.

Both of their other series went to 6 games.

In addition, both of those teams were far inferior to the Pens.

You would have to be a complete moron to think that the Red Wings are going to have an easy time with the Pens.

Detroit is being outworked by the Pens, that's why they are taking all these penalties.

Plain and simple the Pens are going to outrun the Wings through most of the series.

And anon of Philadelphia, your posts are shot, they add nothing to the board other than making you seem like a bitter troll, mad about the fact that his team couldn't cut it.

Remember, the last time the Flyers met Detroit in the finals, they barely managed to score a goal, and didn't even come close to winning a game, let alone the series.

Kieth Jones only joined for the playoffs. During the regular season, he works with Comcast.

Still far from a homer. Then again, the tripfag really thinks Jim Jackson is nothing but 100% Flyers bias. Funny how JJ sounds so excited at every goal no matter who scores it.

Nah, Jonesy was always there, I tune into games on VS from time to time, and he's there. He generally does the color for the Flyers, but any time there was a Flyers game on a Monday or Tuesday, Bill Clement would take over as color because Jones was doing his VS gig.

People actually get COMCAST's broadcasts? You must be in Canada, I am almost positive that they black out the Flyers home feed in the US. Or I could be mistaken.

I've heard "we can't let penalties become our excuse" or "there's not much we can do about the refs, so we just need to make the best of our ice time", I can't say I've ever heard a player saying that the refs should dole out their team more power plays. Generally they get hit by the missed call and just move on with the fucking game instead of whining about it after the fact.

Well, that was the worst third period the Pens have played for months.

We managed to see both sides of Fleury tonight. He made a few outstanding saves but also a number of bone-headed turnovers and let in a couple soft goals.

Once Detroit got that first goal, they settled into a style of counter-punching everything the Pens threw at them. They completely clogged up the Pens transition game and keep everything funneled to the outside.

It's obvious that the first goal in each game will be vital to determining the outcome of this series.

A large difference exists - the Wings are a good faceoff team while the Penguins fucking suck at it. This game demonstrated that a team can't win unless they score and they can't score unless they get the puck. Unless the Penguins suddenly develop an unreal forecheck it's going to constantly bite them in the ass.

You're right. In a game where your team was utterly outclassed, outmatched and dominated four goals to none, faceoffs are the LEAST of your worries.

This is not just East vs. West, Young vs. Old...

This is the Old NHL vs. the New NHL.

The Old NHL = emphasis on defense, very physical play, plenty of forechecking and backchecking

The New NHL = offense offense offense, all defense consists of is dumping the puck out of the zone and letting the forwards chase after it, if defense plays too physical, whistles get blown to give the offense a power play, thus creating a scoring opportunity

Apparently the Old NHL is superior.

I know you think otherwise, but you know nothing. You will reply to this post with a bunch of bullshit and empty hockey talk, but none of your stupidity will change the fact that the Red Wings will almost definitely sweep this series.
