Yeah, looks like the league is getting the matchup they wanted. If the Wings don't have a healthy Lidstrom, they'll have their hands full. As it is, looks to me like the Pens would have the edge. If they were to win one of the first 2 games, especially game 1, the Wings would be against the ropes.

So I am guessing Pitt won in 4? Sorry been busy lately and have not watched much hockey lately, so a bit out of the loop.

Thanks Mike. As much as I wanted Chicago to make a series of it, Detroit's experience was no doubt a bit too much for the young Hawks team, but I am sure they learned some valuable lessons on what it takes to win.

Anyone other than me believe Pens would be back in the Finals after everyone jumped ship at the end of last year? This team reminds me of the 80's Oilers when they lost to the Islanders the 1st trip to the Finals and learned the lessons needed to win and did so the very next year.

Can it be? One thing is for sure. It is going to be a better series than it was last year as Detroit thoroughly dominated the Pens in every aspect of the game last year.

Even though it will be a rematch of last year, I expect it to be another great series!

That NEVER happened :P It was just a bad dream. Raycroft and Budaj are NOT good goalies at all.

I actually thought Raysoft played OK for the Avs this year.

Compared to his days in Toronto it was a success.

The one thing that bugged me most was the cheap goals he would let in and then he would look at the rafters. Dude pay attention to what is happening on the ice.

Kind of feel bad for him though as he is going through what Felix Potvin went through. Felix played awesome in Toronto, but they signed Cujo and kept him on the bench and that messed up his head. He was never the same goalie again. And Raycroft is doing the same. Played really good in Boston, but has never found his niche on another team.

I will blame Toronto for that. The city, the fans, the press and even the coaches did not give him a fair shot.

Yeah, that is the easy thing to do. :P

Truth is Shawn, he never stood a chance following in the footsteps of Cujo and Ed Belfour.

You know yourself that those were big skates to fill. But he did good the 1st year. 2nd year is when it all fell apart for him.
