ITr Can Penguins win the Cup this year? Once again it's Sid 'the kid' Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins against the big red machine of the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup finals. A lot of people, including myself, are wonder- ing if it's going to be the same steamroll of a series by the Red wings or has a year of experience allowed the Penguins to become a better team? From what I've seen so far in the playoff, is that yes, the Pens are a much better team than last year.. Evgeni Malkin has grown into player he's supposed to be and he and Crosby sit on top of the playoff scoring leader board. They seem to be an unstop gable force right now and :with a hot goalie in Marc -Andre Fleury, the Pens have a strong air= . on taking the Cup home. . It will be something Detroit will have to shut down and it's something they have prided themselves on over the last 20 years, being one of the best if not the best franchises in that time period. • Detroit has a knack in shutting down good offences by packing a punch with. an offensive punch:. of their own. Players like. Johan Franzen, Henrik Zetterberg have been on fire intim play- offs and if Hatt Trophy contender Pavel Datsyuk can get things going, the Red Wings will be a formidable force to deal. with. Detroit will also rely on the team leading skills of Nicklas Lidstrom. One thing I want is a long, hard fought series. I know both teams are hungry for the Cup and they have the talent to win, but I just want to see it go all the way to a seventh game. This series being a rematch of last year,' it just makes the drama that much better. The poster boy of the NHL, Crosby versus one of the best team's in the last two decades. What the series reminds Me of, even though 1 was a very ` yo ng lad, is the battle between the New York Islanders and the Edinonton Oiien of the early and mid -eighties. The Islanders were the best team at the time having won four Cups in a row from 198°- 1983. . The battle is so .reminiscent of f t battle the Oilers .the Islanders •to the 1983 and 1984 :Stamey Cup Finals. The Is .. won d '83 sines es with ease, just like the Red wings won their series in last year against the Penguins. In 1984 it was a 'S *Nvith the Young Oilers taking the Culp 'and -yes there, is again the .comparison of the -then pang Wayne Gretzky leading his teach to victory. MU it be the young Sidney Crosby leading his Penguins sgirad to the holy grail . of hockey this year? Only time will tell.
