Can the Pens beat the Red Wings?
Hello I have to admit that I?m not the biggest hockey fan in the world. I?m much more into the Steelers, although baseball is my first love and I?ll always have a soft place in my heart for the Pirates no matter how long it takes them to have a winning record. Still, I have followed the Pens over the years and have come to appreciate the game of hockey and the way our Pens play it. So, here?s my question. How good are the Red Wings? It?s funny to me because in other sports it seems like the teams and fans from other conferences know each other more than they do in hockey. When the AFC plays the NFC or the AL plays the NL, it just seems like you have more to go on than in the NHL. Maybe the situation would be different if the Pens had played the Red Wings. But still you?d think with interconference play and so forth that you?d be able to draw some comparisons between the two teams. But I really havent?t heard any other than the youth versus experience cliche. I guess we?ll see once they actually start playing. For my money and mouth, I?m taking the Pens in six games. I think it?s good that they?re a bit of an underdog. That always helps. I?d be interested to see what other hockey fans think of how the series will go. Thanks in advance for writing.
