See ya in the Finals. Again. But you'll notice we're taking turns hoisting the Cup on each other's ice, so I'm predicting the Wings will skate it at the Mellon in Game Six.

...so sorry.

That's looking a little less likely the way things have gone so far...

On the other hand, one of the guys on Versus mentioned that three Detroit players have more playoff experience than the entire Phoenix lineup, and the Pens are the only team in the league that could hypothetically ice a forward line (Fedotenko-Talbot-Rupp) composed entirely of players who have scored the winning goal in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, so we'll see what happens.

I see your game against the Sens went about as well as our game against the Coyotes.

16 wins 'til Stanley! Um, still! Still 16!

Oh, and if you want, I can provide a list of Red Wings with Four (4) Stanley Cup Rings.

Hey, I'm sure that by the time Sid and Geno are as old as guys like Lidstrom and Draper, they'll have a few more rings too...
