Detroit WHAT!

Wow, no one saw this coming but in the first two games of the Stanley Cup Finals the host Red Wings have crushed the Penguins by a total of 7 - 0 goals.  The start of the first game was neck and neck, but since the 3rd period of game one it has just been uber domination by Detroit.

 Like the Hockey genie that I am (although any moron could technically guess), I was correct in predicting the edge would go to goaltending.  Detroit hasn’t let a single shot through yet and Pittsburgh’s, Marc Andre Fleury has let up more goals in the last two games than he had in previous entire series’.  In fact, in game 2, Detroit had 2 goals on board before the Penguins even registered a shot!!!

Though it isn’t necessarily a do-or-die situation, the Pens are in a must win situation for Game 3.  Time for Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to put their money where all their admiring reporters’ mouths are.
