This is the Stanley Cup FINALS!!! No excuses. Too old? Step aside, please.
Ya gotta make it there first KCK ....
Too Old, hardly, the Wings are getting younger all the time.
From a previous post :
Series is a long way from being over ... Home ice is usually huge, I've seen many time when the home team in games 1 and 2 dominated and the roles were reversed when the changed arena's ...
Not saying this WILL happen, but I look for game 3 to be the bast so far.
I think the Wings can play MUCH better and the Pens NEED to play better.
The Pens must win game 3, if they don't, it's over.... Pens will probably win one game at least at home.
If the flow of the game changes when they go to Pittsburgh, they could come back 2-2 for game 5 and all the talk will be how the Pens are so good and the NBC guys will really be hard to take .... Some mentioned at the ESPN blog/forum that the NHL and the officials will help ??? the Pens when they get home.
I just hope it is a good game(s) and called fairly.
They defiantly let most everything go the first two games and there was great flow to the games, lets hope they don't change the rules when they get to Pittsburgh.
One other thing: the Wings are actually getting MUCH Younger, not older, with the play of Helm, Abdelker both 22.
Ericsson and Leino are only 25.
As is Juri Hudler, and Fillpulla whose been around for several years now.
Franzen is only 29 and Zetterburg is only 28.
Not as OLD as they use to be ....
IF/When Chellios retires that will drop the team age quite a bit as well.
Yes, a lot of the regulars are getting there or are there, but they have a pretty good influx of youth as well playing very well.
