Yeah, that is the easy thing to do.
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.
Well said man. Toronto has had some great goaltenders, and I don't think anyone had it easy following Cujo or Belfour, both have played for at least 4 teams and have been stellar in each market. Cujo maybe not so much in Detroit/Phoenix.
But Eddie certainly kept his game in Dallas and San Jose.

Atta boy Mark!!
If Malkin and Crosby continue to play as they have, and Fleury is solid, I honestly think the Pens have a chance. I'll have to miss games 1 and 2 due to work and filming a show, unfortunately

That's the least you can say about him in Detroit. I still don't understand what Ken Holland had in mind when he gave him a 3 years 24M$ deal. Fortunately Legace made the job for Detroit even if it wasn't enough in playoffs.

Actually I think the Pens got a greater opportunity than last year, especially if Lidstrom and Datsyuk aren't 100% healthy. It will be interesting to see who have most improve since last year final.
Anyway, if Detroit doesn't get major injuries trouble, I go with Red Wings in 6.

No big surprises yet, ref's making no calls vs Detroit. Looks like the Motor City will be handed yet another Stanley Cup...is this a way to stimulate the economy in Michigan??

I was screaming at the TV about exactly that last night. Turned it off about midway through the second period, already had a pretty good feeling about how it would turn out. Blatant interference calls missed among others. Officiating in the post season has been piss poor at the best, shame to see it is continuing into what should be a great finals.
