Ron Raymond’s NHL Stanley Cup Prediction
Pittsburgh PK -145 vs. Detroit (Game #3)
Keys to selection: The Pittsburgh Penguins were down 0-2 in the 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Finals to the Red Wings and fought back to make a series out of it vs. the Wings. I feel were going to see the same scenario play out this year and the Penguins have a better team in this years Final, compared to last season.
The Penguins in my view, have been the better hockey team on the ice and their star players have been better then the Red Wings skilled players. Detroit has received some good goaltending from Chris Osgood, but their big name stars have been below average. Look for the home crowd to give the Penguins some jump in their skates in the first period and should they open up a few goal lead, it should carry them to victory.
I get the feeling from Game #1 and #2, this might well be a “homer series”. Play the Penguins tonight.
Final Score: Pittsburgh 3 Detroit 2
