Ann 22008 NHL Stanley Cup Finals: Detroit Red Wings vs. Pittsburgh Penguins Game 6 Preview
June 4th 2008 19:24
Game 6 starts tonight at 8 and I can't wait for this madness to be over. But, it might not be over tonight as the Penguins are now emboldened by their victory two nights ago and will try to tie up this series at 3-3.
Fatigue might be a factor as the older Red Wings defensemen may not be as fresh as the Pens' younger legs after three overtime periods. If the Penguins keep up an aggressive forecheck during tonight's game, it will only be a matter of time until Detroit's defense crumbles. The fate of this series lies completely on Chris Osgood's performance. The goaltender has been showing signs of nervousness lately, and if his defense is too exhausted to help him out, look for the Penguins to celebrate another win. At the other end of the rink, Fleury has been excellent in making the timely saves (I still see in my head his huge save on a 2-on-1 in the previous game that could have tied the scoring at 2-2 during the second period) and provides reassurance to a slow defense.
That's pretty much it for today. The winning team tonight will be the one with the best goaltender. Fleury has had the upper-hand so far, we'll see how Ozzie reacts after surrendering a playoffs-high four goals in the previous game.
