>>99975 Even if he could, what kind of defense is going to stand between the likes of Zetterberg or Datsyuk and him? I have to say that the gap between Detroit's offense to Pittsburgh's defense is much larger than Pittsburgh's offense to Detroit's defense. Detroit's blue line and defensive forwards are the best in the league, and they have the numbers and repeatedly-won silverware to prove it. If any other team came out on top in the West I'd give the Penguins the odds to win the cup, but if any team can slow down Pittsburgh's offense and break through a defense that ultimately isn't much to write home about, it's Detroit. Unless Detroit's entire finals are a parade to the penalty box (and the refs' anal-retentive scrutiny towards Holmstrom's presence in front of the net aside, the Wings' play is too smart for that to be likely) I can't see the Penguins winning it.
