Like last year he had a big year getting 73 points in about 40 games, but this year he dropped drastically. Plus he is not a play-off performer at all, 12 play-off games played and only 1 goal with a -5 rating. I also noticed he never even played for Sweden's World Junior team, or in any international tourney for Sweden.

I don't know I see him being an average player for Dallas, but he is a good pick-up for them considering they had no first round pick and he would have likely been a high pick if he was draft eligible.

im not going to tee off on him just yet, after this series

I'd like to say "pens in 6", but damn I'm nervous about this series.

tyler leben · 05-20-2008, 09:13 PM

pens is 6 on home ice i'd say 4 on home ice but that is just too much of a homer call even for me

I'll be around for sure. I'm just biting my tongue until the finals are over.

Although I like seeing all the Pens in 4/5. The hype builds. Even around here where I live, I dont know anyone else taking the Wings. Being the favourite always worried me. But guys com'on... Pitts. best -+ player was Crosby with +18 and 72pts? There is probably 10+ guys on the Detroit roster with a higher plus, and much lower points. Pittsburgh has been the more talented team, every series, and has taken its advantage of weaker teams. They were impressive against Philly, a young heart and grit based team. Detroit's been the most soild and best defensive team all year. The last time they were out-shot was probably months ago. There is no team in the east like Detroit. Either the Wings put in a heavy reality check and the Pens fail to steal 4, or Detroit fails trying to contain Crosby/Malkin/Hossa. Pittsburgh better win their battles and make good plays, because as a team unit, they dont compare. imo, the detroit fanboy.

you wings fans are delusional. you have no clue what youre up against. the best team in the NHL since the allstar break has been the pens. and mostly without crosby.......throw in hossa at the deadline and you got yourself one sick ass team thats been showing it all playoffs. nihillistic you talk about injured teams???? pens lost crosby and fleury and they didnt skip a beat. pens are much deeper then crosby and malkin and detroit will see in the 5 games we play cause it will only take 5 for pens to end it.
