Red Wings....

[misfish]

One more to go!

 

Hmmm, the last time a team from Pittsburgh played in Detroit, they won the Super Bowl. Might as well make it the Stanley Cup too.

 

Let's Go Pens!

 

I'd love to hear the comments if Syd was a Leaf. He's what's right about hockey even though I'm not sure he's the best player on the Pens.

 

P.S. Brian, I thought you knew hockey.

 

I thought I did MARTY.

[Stoty]

I thinik the Zetterberg-datsyuk line is the same offensively as the best on the Penguins.

Detroit is much more disciplined team then any in the East. You won't see them giving the blue line up to Malkin or Crosby.

Detroit in 6 because of much better team defence and discipline. Also most good young teams have to lose one before they win one.....just like the Wings did to NJ before they wone there last 2 cups.

Also have to put Lidstrom ahead of Bourque, better positional player and skater, both are awesome.

Lidstrom almost never caught out of position so you never notice him out there. kinda like a good referee.

 

AMEN!!!!

There's a guy that knows what he's talking about.

[JohnAB]

Stoty, did you fall down and hit your head as a youngster? Lidstrom top 3 defensemen of all time. Please Louise! Oh to laugh!

 

As Don Cherry said, anyone who votes for Lidstrom as a top defensemen and the Norris trophy wouldn't know a defenceman even if they slept with Bobby Orr.

[Stoty]

Sorry Johnny, stats dont lie.

[JohnAB]

Stats don't always tell the truth either. Lidstrom was only plus 40 on a team that was as a team plus 70 at least. Not that impressive. Actually kind of disappointing, especially in the weakest division in hockey.

 

And secondary scoring, hmmmm. Scoring in playoffs goes Crosby, Malkin, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Franzen, Hossa, Malone and Hudler. I fail to see the big difference in this vaunted Detroit spread out scoring punch? Also remember Pittsburgh has played one less game as well.

[Stoty]

Disappointing??

He was 2nd overall in the league....right behind Datsyuk.

 

Geesh, you have pretty high standards eh.

If you dont think +40 is impressive, or that he isnt in the top 10 defensemen of all time.

[JohnAB]

Bobby Orr was plus 128 in one season so plus 40 is not impressive.

[danbo]

I hear the wings are gonna suit up Ted Kennedy for the rest of the series!

[JohnAB]

Stoty if stats don't lie then here ya go

 

Ray Bourque: Career plus minus of 528, averaged .98 points per game in his career.

 

Lidstrom: Career plus minus of 378, averages .75 points per game.

 

Oops, looks like Ray kind of dominates in every category there huh?

[Stoty]

Bourque - 23 seasons

Lidstrom - 15 seasons

[JohnAB]

So Bourque played longer???? Still has a better plus minus rating and averages more points per game.

[MCTFisher9120]

Yup Dallas is going to win tonight!!!!!!
