Pittsburgh Penguins at Detroit Red Wings, Jun 12, 2009 7:00 PM CDT
Not much to be said about this game. We all know what's at stake for both teams and know that it's either going to be a joyous offseason or one riddled with questions. Hopefully, it's the former that we're going to endure. Let's take a look at the keys and subplots to the game:
- Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg have to continue to shutdown Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Since Pavel's return, neither of them has tallied a point and the streak will have to be extended from two to three games for the Wings to keep the Cup.
- Detroit's secondary scorers will have to outduel those in black and gold. Games 3, 4, and 6 were all plenty of evidence to show that the Penguins have great scoring depth and the Wings cannot afford to test that depth. The defense must focus on them just as much as Malkin and Crosby at this point.
- So if Malkin, Crosby, and the Pittsburgh secondary scorers are shut down, then who can score for the Pens? No one, and that's the point. Osgood must be solid in net and hope for a repeat of Game 5's goals against because Fleury turned in a heck of a performance in Game 6 and will likely do his best to do the same tonight.
- Marian Hossa has to do something to create offense. To be goal-less in 19 of 22 games is unacceptable for a guy with his caliber of skills--and with a wallet that fat. Hossa has to get to the slot and rely on passes or hope for breakaways, his shots from the outside aren’t cutting it and the scoreboard shows it.
- This game will be epic, monumental, legendary, colossal, whatever term for "important" you want to substitute into each franchise’s history. Pittsburgh can solidify itself as a crème of the crop team in the NHL while Detroit can solidify itself as one of the best franchises in modern sports. 5 Cups in 12 years? I’ll take it.
Like I said for Game 6, enjoy the game because it WILL be the last time you see this group of guys together. Especially enjoy watching Hudler, Samuelsson, Chelios, and Hossa play because only 1 or 2 of them will return next year.
Puck drops at 8:00 p.m. ET. Game can be seen on NBC, CBC, or RDS and as always, GO WINGS!
JoeHass will be with you guys tonight providing statistical prime rib as always.

Wish I could post in the thread tonight...
…but it’s the last time I’ll get to watch the Wings with my brothers for a long time. Hopefully Detroit can do us a favor and make the somewhat sad event a little happier.

Guys,
I was flying home to Winnipeg from Toronto and missed most of Game 6. (not unhappy that I did when I landed and found out the score). That’s fine, Wings can win at the Joe.
Unfortunately I have a wedding this weekend and will not be able to participate in tonight’s game thread as I have a dinner (I was told they aleady have a TV set up so we can watch the game tonight).
Enjoy the game guys (and girls)!! Its been a lot of fun enjoying the Wings with you this year.
Hossa steps up big time, Datsuk shows us whose boss at the Joe, Hank stymies Crosby and Osgood shows why he deserves the Conn Smythe.
Go Wings Go.

Predictions for Game 7
I am really torn on how I think this game will go. It could very well be similar to game 5 where the Wings get a comfortable victory. I surely hope this is the case – just for my nerves ;).
But I expect the game will be similar to game 6 in that it will be a tight, grinding, checking oriented game. The key for the Wings here is to KEEP FOCUS!!! The D like Lebda & Stuart need to stop pinching in risky situations and not give up the odd man rushes. Also, stay out of the box!! If you look at the majority of goals for the Pens this series, it has been the PP or something from an odd-man situation. The Wings need to grind, keep their discipline & ice balance and make the plays in the offensive zone when they arise.
Final score – Wings 4 Pens 2. The fourth goal is an empty netter. One of the unsung heroes – Filppula, Cleary, Hudler or Draper will get the game winner.
Conn Smythe goes to Ozzie. He has earned it!

Just so you guys know, I finished my Dynasty today in NHL 09.
Wings won the series in 7 and Osgood got the Conn Smythe…
Albeit against the Flyers, but nonetheless…

Warm greetings....
I just came back from picking up my pizza, and the liquor store was jumping.
I’m watching the CBC feed, and when the teams came out for warmups, the roar was tantamount to a usual game’s pre-game arrival.

This should be good. I feel sorry for anyone who buys the ESPN BS and doesn’t tune in to this. This game could suck and it’d be 100 times better than the NBA.

You guys played a great game / series / season … you have lots to be proud of. :)
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

The good news is that it's only a game,
Bad news it that this still fricken sucks.

After mellowing out I am not even that pissed at Hossa as much
He made the risk of signing a one year contract and had some good games. Just no bounces for him these play-offs, a scorer is expected to score no matter what, but it just didn’t happen. I feel sorry for him and hope that he gets the opportunity to sign with a team that has a shot, I wouldn’t even object to re-signing him still….. just saying.

I'd rather not...
I’d like to let players like Helm and Abdelkader mature and become the next generation.

the nice little girl in me almost feels bad for hossa.
but then i remember how much he DIDNT do this series…
but i love my wings..
so right now i kinda just want to junk punch the damn astrologist from the news last night for getting my hopes up..
but now i have decided to lump all my depressive issues into one day and go and pack my stuff from my boyfriend of 5 years apartment seen as we broke up two weeks ago…
good night and i will see you all next season
i still love my RED WINGS!!

Detroit, you deserved better.
With the city having a high unemployment rate, high crime, and GM and Chrysler bankrupt, I believe the Red Wings were going to win one for the city. But, like the Spartans in April against UNC, the city failed to win one for Detroit and the city. Being from Pittsburgh, I wanted the DRW to win, because of the troubles of GM, Chrysler and the problems plaguing the region. As for Hossa, he deserved better. In ‘00 he blinded Toronto’s Bryan Berard in an accidental play. (Berard would continue to play from 01 to 08.) I saw KDKA-TV’s newscast and saw the burning of a Red Wings jersey by Penguins fans. That is equivalent to destroying a GM vehicle. There’s always next year, and hopefully DRW will be back. And the Tigers will bounce back, and hopefully the Lions will have the biggest improvement in NFL history. And when October comes at the JLA, banners 51 and 52 (the Central Division champs and Western Conference champs banners) will be 2 more reasons why your city will have a chance to return to glory. Here’s hoping Hossa get his name on the Cup in ‘10 and GM and Chrysler come back stronger than ever!
Congratulations on a great run, and good luck on #12 in 2010.
And remember… the last time Detroit was eliminated (’07), they won the Cup!
My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!

I don't wanna see the Pens celebrating in any videos or read anything on the series so can someone tell me who won the Conn Smythe?
I am assuming it was Malkin?

Most likely...
I’ve been refusing to watch as well though…

I wonder if the playoffs will have any effect on the MVP voting?

I think they do it before the play-offs start

Now we find out if Lidstroms injury was really bad or not and who else may have been injured
