...you think their dead, and then WHAM!!!...you have an ice pick in the side of your head.
I think if the Penguins can somehow pull another rabbit out of their hat tonight, it's their series to lose. Trust me, I know that's a HUGE if. But, veterans or not, you'd have to think the Red Wings would be shell-shocked if this goes 7. They've truly hit them with everything, and the Pens still have not died.
Also, I think most of the Penguins core players are too young to care what history usually indicates when a team is down 3-1 in a series.
Every day these young guns gain more confidence. They found out what Stanley Cup hockey was in games 1 & 2. Since then, they've adjusted their game, and have stood toe-to-toe with the vaunted Red Wings.
Again, at this point, I still give the Red Wings a 75% of hoisting the Cup tonight. However, the odds shift to the Pens if they turn this into a 7 game series.
