That was my beef with him in Toronto. He's giant and can stop you in your tracks. But he's a frickin' pylon so if you get by him, you're in the clear.

When he was in Bos they would always have him against Jagr and he played good. But i don't know what happened to him after he went to TOR & PIT but he sure went for a shit.

Funny you mention that. Near the end of Hal's stint in a Leaf uni, I was calling him Giveaway Gill.

I think Pittsburgh wins this series.  (Puts hands over head).  Wait - don't shoot!!!  Hear me out. 

I'd be very surprised to see Malkin pull the disappearing act like last year's finals again.  The fire in Crosby's eyes is scary.  The kids (Croz, Malkin, Staal, Letang) have now been to the big show before and they've already faced the biggest pressure game (Game 7 vs the Caps) of their young careers so far.  I feel this series will be VERY close.  So since the value will be with the visiting Pens, that's the bet I will be making.  And these statements are being said will all due respect being paid to the Wings...  great team, great defense and awesome transition.  I just can't see them winning the cup again this year....

First off Malkins already back in Russia--he doesn't want to play against Detroit and exposed again--I think the only guy Geno has ever checked is ovechkin we all know that story..

Second Crosby is Crosby, no matter how many peolple here call him a cry-baby here in Detroit--He's without a doubt one of the top 3 best of the best in the NHL

Third the 2 back to back games to start the series will help the Red Wings opposed to the public perception. Crosby and Malkin who the Pens like to double shift a lot cant kill penalties and with the Wings rotation of depth per their lines will wear them down. Staal--you mean that guy with a whole 6 pts--and Guerin definitley dont remind me of Kevin Stevens and Marc Recchi. While The Big Red Machine--and I'm not talking about the Reds of the 70's--are locked and loaded everywhere

Finally Defence--the Pens have none nor have they played a team with any..Carolina was toast as DG84 had a great post about teams playing back to back 7 game series and falling short the 3rd series--as we saw swept away. As for DetroitLidstrom, Rafalski, Kronwall, Stuart, Lebda do I need to go on. Like it or not Detroit is the Far better team even with Pavel injured

Finally x 2 it's not really homerism when the flat out better team lies in our home state--homerism would be people from Chicago thinking they had a chance against Detroit last series

Good luck with your plays Berty but FYI 1 or 2 wins in a best out of 7 doesnt pay out

Great malkin insight.  It is clear you do not watch him play.

I watch him play against the Wings--enough said
 
Can you describe how he plays against the Wings?
 
What did he have 2 pts last year in the Cup?
 
 
 
I've watched more hockey live than you've seen on TV
 
The Wings might need that broom next Thursday can they borrow that one your penguin is holding?

Malkin had a bad series when he was clearly injured one year ago.   He was the best player in the NHL this regular season, but you may not have noticed with all the midget games you saw.
 
Pavel Datysuk had a mediocre playoff this year, does that make him overrated?
 
Get a clue.

It doesn't matter what malkin did in the regular season this is the Stanley Cup--you know the one Detroit won last year when Malkin was shut down by a real team--not from playing the Islanders, Rangers, Lightning etc etc
 
clearly injured--maybe it was his time of the month
 
JT I'll give you a clue---enjoy your regular season accolades and playoffs victories thus far cuz they end vs Detroit as they did last year

I really don't post in the NHL forum but I think the Wings will win the cup.  I have been watching the playoffs closely this year and I just don't see how this year is much different from the last.  The Red Wings actually have improved.  The Penguins will have revenge on their minds but it doesn't matter to a disciplined team like Detroit.  Marian Hossa has been playing like a man on fire and I see them being able to withstand the offense of players like Crosby and Malkin.  Sure those guys will score goals and produce but it just won't be enough.  The Wings have what it takes to win it again and the injuries to Lindstrom and Datsyuk will not be as integral as most might think.  The Red Wings have shown that they can have other people step up and take charge.  Guys like Hudler, Cleary, Franzen, and Osgood will all step it up.  This will be a very entertaining series and many will want Crosby and the Penguins to win.  I don't see it happening.  Experience and solid play as well as home ice advantage means the Red Wings win in seven.  Best of luck and ENJOY it whether you win or lose your bets.
