A Chance for the Cup
After a terrific showing Saturday night in which the Red Wings defeated the Penguins by a score of 5-0 in the game where Pavel Datsyuk returned, the Wings now have a chance to win the Stanley Cup again on Pittsburgh’s ice. This is a chance that the Red Wings need to capitalize on, as all bets would be off in a game seven. It also gives both Marian Hossa and Ty Conklin a chance to win the Cup in front of their former team and former fans. This would be particuarly bittersweet for Hossa, who signed the infamous one year contract with the Wings claiming he felt it was his best chance to win a Cup. Now, he gets a chance to show that he was right in a most dramatic fashion. I still don’t get why people outside of Pittsburgh bashed Hossa for his signing, as he did what fans want most atheletes to do: take less money for a chance at winning. Anyway, it promises to be a great game tonight!
