Game 7 is almost upon us.  Before I make my prediction as to who will hoist up the cup, I wanted to share a few facts going into game.

The home team has won each game in this series. Detroit is 3-2 overall in NHL Finals game 7’s. The home team has won the last six NHL Finals game 7’s. Pittsburgh has scored 2 goals on the road compared to 10 at home during this series. Pittsburgh has never played in a NHL Finals game 7

After Saturday’s disastrous prediction, I now have seen the light and realize Detroit is the superior team and will lock up its second consecutive Stanley Cup in Pittsburgh.While momentum really hasn’t played a part in this series so far and the home team has won every game, this will change tonight.  Look for Zetterberg and Franzen to both get on the board, and for Datsyuk to skate more comfortably on his injured foot.  Final Score:  Red Wings 4, Penguins 2.

The Stanley Cup finals return to Detroit tonight as the Penguins look to keep their winning streak alive.  The Pens are younger, more energetic and have momentum on their side.  Evgeni Malkin is playing the best hockey he’s played in these playoffs.Sid the Kid will step up tonight,and there will be a changing of the guard as #87 leads his team to victory.  Look for Pittsburgh to close out the series on their own ice in game six.

Alex Ovechkin scored one and assisted on the tying goal, but the Penquins avoided disaster, winning in overtime on a deflected goal. Have no fear, as long as Varlamov is stellar in goal the Caps victory is only a matter of when. Sidney Crosby assisted on 2 goals for Pittsburgh. The series resumes Friday night.
