DETROIT RED WINGS (-140)
Defense and goaltending will be the key here in this series IMO. Offensive edge goes to the Pens but defense and goaltending are surely on the Wings side. Osgood over Fluery all day long. How long can Fluery keep it up? Will he fold like Biron did against the Pens after mirculously standing on his head against the Habs? Will the Wings control the defensive tempo? Will the Pens try to outscore the Wings and press as much as possible? Will Crosby and Malkin shine or get shut down by the Wings strong defense? Will Datsyuk and Zetterberg continue their dominance? High scoring games will favor the Pens and low scoring games will fall right into the hands of the Red Wings style. Detroit cannot afford to get into any "run and gun" 5-4, 6-5 type games as this will favor the Pens big time. If the Wings can play their defensive style of West Coast hockey in games that are 2-1, 3-1 its lights out. Wings should win this in 5 maybe 6 games.
GL FELLAS AND LETS GO RED WINGS!!!
