Pens are on fire, and the Wings have injury problems. I'm still picking Detroit in 7, but rooting for the Pens.

R.L.

Given the young age of team members of the Pens, and the fact that they FINALLY got their team act together, coupled with the relatively short layoff time for the Wings. Im going with the youth and enthusiasm of the Pens.

One thing for sure, it should be one of the better Stanley Cup games.

I want the Pens to win. I grew up a big Mario Lemieux fan. However, I'm going with experience so I say Red Wings in 6.

Imagine that. Pittsburgh is a drinking town with a sports problem.

Final Shots

Seems to be a Pittsburgh tradition @ Mario's house Cup party.JPG

ice or grass.JPG We just wont mention the Diamond, at least the Park is great. PNC PARK.JPG

Regret, no mater what he says, marian.JPG

Quote:
DETROIT -- Marian Hossa chose to join the Detroit Red Wings at a discount.
He hopes hoisting the Stanley Cup will make it worth the sacrifice.
Hossa signed a one-year, $7.45 million contract with Detroit on Wednesday. He had rebuffed a chance to re-sign with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were reportedly offering $7 million a season as part of a five-year contract.

Hossa
"It was a really tough decision for me to make," Hossa said. "When I compared the two teams, I felt like I would have a little better of a chance to win the Cup in Detroit."
Quote:
Former Pittsburgh Penguin Marian Hossa has no Stanley Cup but also no regrets in leaving
Hossa better chance
No Regret
