At the start of the series, there was so much talk how Malkin will not show up for the Stanley Cup Finals. That the stage was too big for him. The Wings were too good. Nobody wanted to believe, or admitt, he was hurting pretty bad last year after he took the hit against the Flyers. He wasn't the same player in the playoffs after that. This year he is healthy and quite frankly Detroit does not have an answer for him. Malkin has now recorded 2 G 5 A in 4 games. Strange how the knocks on him have been silenced. The Wings legs looked very weak last night and could be showing their age. Anything can happen from here out in the best of three, but one thing for certain, Malkin and Crosby have just cemented their legacy into the books this playoff run.
Malkin 14 Goals 35 Points
Crosby 15 Goals 31 Points
29 Goals..The most by any two players in modern day Playoffs.

we will have to see how datsyuk performs...malkin has the big size advantage over any center that he matches up against
datsyuk/hossa is a formidable duo and their best defense might be offense
i am expecting the wings role players to step up and the pens to slow down...look at the home games and look at the difference between their performances...helm is the only consistent one
and well...datsyuk should certainly help that (currently) pathetic wings pp
did the wings look tired to you in game 3 or 4? or do you think they didnt play well? perhaps it was both....it goes without saying this game is huge
if you are a believer in young pens wearing out the old tired legs of detroit..look at the schedule
game 5 on the 6th and then
game 6 on the 9th and game 7 on the 12th...thats a lot of time to rest up..i think it favors the wings
throw in that 2 games are at home and the addition i still like the wings chances but i certainly respect the pens a lot more

rerun of 2002-2003? it's possable BUT I think whoever wins game 5 also wins game 6 to close out esp IF it's my Pennies. the RW's, and esp Zetterburg with all his ice time, look like they have run out of gas and Ozzy looked human in Pittsburgh.
will see what happens. RW's still a dangerous team esp at The Joe BUT I think my Pennies have the "mo" now.

Lidstrom is overrated. He really is. Gimme Scott Niedermayer. Now I am not saying he sucks , I am saying he is overrated
You have to be kidding right? Lidstrom is one of the greatest defenseman to ever play. Definitely the best since Bobby Orr. You can't consider someone who has won six Norris trophys overrated. Niedermayer is a great offensive player but Lidstrom is a better overall talent. Just watch the guy break up plays at the blue line. He's unbelievable even at this stage of his career.

NJ Devils you have got to be kidding you think he's OVERRATED. This guy is a HORSE easily the better defenseman of the two. You don't win all those Norris Trophy's for nothing.

i've never heard that one before. lidstrom is so much a smarter player on the ice then Neid, i couldnt even put these two in the same sentence. imo its hard to call Lid overrated, he does everything so well

Im not just stirring the pot. Niedermayer never got any credit because he played in NJ all those years and none of the idiots in the media would vote for him for the Norris. He went to the Ducks and they win a cup and he wins a Conn Smythe
I think Lidstrom is great but i think he is a little overrated and a lot past his prime

He is on the ice for all of these goals where the Pens are getting 3rd and 4th cracks and also the ones where they are zipping the pucks all over the ice
