On to the Finals

Good semi-final round - not as short as I predicted, though I got the teams right. We all did.

Now, to the finals.

I think this will be a complete home-advantage series. Detroit in 7.

But I'm cheering for the Penguins. I like the way they play. They'll be a top team for a long, long time.

I know that lots of people will pick Pittsburgh, if only to show that they know there's an "h" at the end. People think the Penguins have better goaltending. Also, that the Red Wings nearly let Dallas back in the series.

But I think Detroit was playing a much, much stronger team. I think Osgood will be Osgood-enough. I predict there will be lots of momentum-shifting (3 shifts, actually). Game 7 may go two or three overtime periods. In the end the team with the most depth and experience will win.
