BF2S Forums Stanley Cup final, who will win?

Penguins tbh.

I naturally support the Devils cause they were the firstteam i played as on NHL 08 and they also had a player called Jason Arnott~ Same last name as me!!

I hope they both lose

Redwings.

While Osgood's one of my all time favorite goalies and I've been a long time Datsyuk fan, I say Penguins. The line of Crosby, Malkin and Hossa is UNSTOPPABLE. Plus, they have solid defense with Gonchar, Gill, Letang, Orpik, Scuderi, Sydor...etc.

Plus, I know someone who personally knows Rob Scuderi (he's from Long Island), so just another reason for me to want them to win.

The Red Wings are just too good. No offence to the skill of Crosby and Malkin, but Zetterberg and Datsyuk are tremendous forwards who can check as well. The Wings have an efficient system that is difficult to stop. The Red Wings in six games, easily.

Besides that you forgot to mention both are Selke trophy finalists. GO WINGS!

Pens in 6, winning it at home.  Detroit won't win, their arthritis will kick in by game 3

Like I've said, despite the talent of Crosby and Malkin, I'd prefer Zetterberg and Datsyuk for their all around play and general experience. In the playoffs, nothing triumphs experience and great goaltending. As for the latter, I'd pick Osgood over Fleury. The Pens goalie has played great, but I don't see him as a saviour.

Detroit's defence is easily better than the Pens. Led by one of the best defenceman in the history of the game, they are amazing checkers, can apply themselves on the powerplay, and the defensive system has been well perfected by Detroit. Most of Detroit's defencemen have spent enough time under the system to know each other, and know how it works. Gonchar is likely Pittsburgh's best defenceman, and his strong points are his scoring, not his defensive play.

It is also Detroit's role players that can step up and win. Jiri Hudler has played tremendously, while Tomas Holmstrom is always a great playoff performer. Scoring can come from both the Zetterberg-Datsyuk-Holmstrom line and the Franzen line easily. I'm not discounting Pittsburgh's forwards, their strong point, but I see Detroit's front lines as equal if not better, while maintaining a stronger defensive system.

Detroit doesnt deserve winning a cup in a half-empty stadium.

Your an idiot the economy in Michigan is worse then the rest of the country so people can't afford the high cost of playoff tickets.
