Who will win the Stanley Cup?

Game 7, Friday, June 12th, 8 PM Eastern.

Pittsburgh Penguins



At

Detroit Red Wings



After Losing the Stanley Cup Finals last year to the Detroit Red Wings in 5 Games, the Penguins look to Rebound and take this series in 7. But this will be tough to do for a young penguins team playing against a very physical and talented team and playing on the road. They are 0-3 in Detroit so far this series. Let's look at some statistics so far in this series.

Shots: Detroit 179, Pittsburgh 169.

Power Plays: Detroit 4/21, Pittsburgh 4/13.

Face-offs: Detroit 166, Pittsburgh 140.

Hits: Pittsburgh 210, Detroit 195.

So Far Detroit has just beat them at everything, but I think the statistics in the first 6 games mean nothing. This is the game to win it all, you have to forget every game that has happened in the past. None of those 6 games matter, you got to go out there and give more than 110%, because this is one of the MOST important games of your career.

What does Sydney Crosby have to do to win this game?
Sydney Crosby has to be the Best player on the floor, not just for himself, but he needs to make the players around him better. He needs to put whatever he has into this game.

Why will Detroit Win Game 7?
They are the Better overall Team and they are almost impossible to beat in the playoffs at home.

Why will Pittsburgh Win Game 7?
They have a top 5 player in the league in Sydney Crosby and if he steps it up, they can win this game.

My Prediction:
Pittsburgh Wins 3-2.
