Wings Up, Pierre Down

Well, it's been 2 games in 2 days & one thing is for certain, Pierre McGuire has dreams of picking up the soap in the Penguins shower. NBC has truly gone over the edge in their love affair with Sidney Crosby, and it's a 3 way really between Crosby, NBC , & the NHL. The crown king & his prince Malkin have continued to dazzle, delight & oh yeah, I almost forgot: LOSE! The wings have continued to shut the Pens down & Osgood has been a tremendous part of that shut down. While flukey, I mean Fluery has let soft goal after soft goal in, I am growing more & more confident that the Penguins don't have a chance.

My original prediction was a 7 game series but the way we are playing & the way they are playing, I just don't see this going more than 5 games now. True the pens probably will do much better at home, they'll have last change to get Crosby away from Zetterberg, they'll have the crowd but the wings should have Datsyuk & they still have another gear to kick up to, we still haven't seen the Wings at their best.

My prediction is that the Wings will lose game 3 but come back & win games 4 & 5...

Go Wings!!
