Buffalo Boy's Blog

Honestly, I haven't watched all but two games of the NHL playoffs, I've been in full baseball mode ever since the Sabres bowed out of the post-season. I needed the break from the emotional ride that we have been through here in Buffalo following our beloved Sabres.

Now that it is the finals, I guess I have to choose. So, I am choosing the Penguins to win it in 6. Why?

Because I think that as talented as Detroit is I think that the Penguins youth and speed will outlast the grit and experience of the Detroit Red Wings.

I also think that between Fluery and Osgood, Fluery will stand on his head. I think that Osgood is due to have a rough series and he really hasn't been challenged that much in the playoffs so far and Pittsburgh may be just the team to through enough pucks at him to make him break a little.

That and I want to see Hasek's team go in the dumper.
