Stanley Cup Finals
Penquins vs Wings
Experience vs not much experience
The prevailing view is that the west is a better conference, therefore Detroit should be the better team.
Neither team has had to work hard to get to the finals.
Penquins walked through Ottawa, Flyers were missing lots of people and New York blew it, in the first game and couldn't do anything after that, although they tried.
Detroit - fiddled around with Nashville, waltzed through Colorado and worked a little bit with Dallas.
Last year, everyone thought Ottawa was good as they had had no problems getting to the finals, but once there, it was no contest.
The Penquins have some exceptional talent in Crosby, Malkin and Hossa, but Datsyuk, Zetterburg and Lidstrom are really good too.
I am hoping for 7 games.
