Detroit is going to win at home Saturday and take the 3-2 lead and get the momentum back. Then they will win the cup in Pittsburgh in game 6.

No way! Detroit looked dead in that 3rd period. There was obvious fatigue there, something you did not see when it came to the Penz. They were held without a goal for almost 40 minutes, they couldn't stay on their feet and up until last night Crosby looked almost non-existant. When everything is clicking for Pittsburgh they are quite possibly the best team on the ice. Only advantage Detroit has at the Joe Louis Arena is trampolines for boards that many other teams are not accustomed to. Once that was taken away the Red Wings looked like a completely different team and the box scores between games 1 and 2 compared to 3 and 4 were easily noticable.

Last year they were surprised due to inexperience. Now they will not have this issue. Last year they had Hossa and this year everyone expected a quick series because Hossa was no longer there and is now on Detroit. Just you wait until Saturday night. Even with the calls heavily in favor of Detroit they are what, only 1 for 8 or 1 for 9 on the powerplay?

Just to show how much it is in favor for Detroit in terms of calls. Remember game 2 where Zetterberg was laying down inside the crease and smothered the puck with his body? According to the NHL rulebook that is an illegal play and should have resulted in a penalty shot. Same with last night when Fedotenko was hooked when going for that empty net shot. Even in game 1 they got away with the defender covering the puck with his hand inside the crease. Three blatant illegal plays that should have resulted in penalty shots completely ignored and Detroit still couldn't take advantage.

I am pretty sure games 1 and 2 were either 2-1 at the time or tied at 1-1. If those illegal plays were called and the Penz got their deserved penalty shots the momentum in those games could have been entirely different. If called properly there is the possibility this series could have already been over.

Penz in 6.

 

Also with a packed out arena and about 10-20,000 additional fans outside on the grass watching the game from the big screen, Pittsburgh will become the new hockey town. Move over Detroit.

 

Penz announcers are cooler than Detroit announcers too, so they should win just for that alone.

"Slap me silly Sidney", "How much fried chicken can you eat?" and "You can scratch my back with a hacksaw!". LOL.
