Props to the Pens....odds stacked against them, but they persevered. Talbot was the shit last night, so was FLeury.

I disagree. There weren't many solid shots on goal all night from Detroit and Talbot scored on give aways. Games 4, 6, and 7 were simply Detroit dropping the ball. Pittsburgh showed me nothing to make me think they have a chance next year. Detroit will still be the clear favourite in 2010.

Wow...ok. You realize how few chances the Pens actually had last night, right? For Talbot to score two goals on that stage, the only two Penguins goals, was actually quite amazing. He isn't a scorer, but he capitalized when greater talents from both teams couldn't. Hockey is a game of mistakes, and Detroit made way too many uncharacteristic mistakes in the series. The Wings were seen to have all the forward depth, yet it was a guy like 3rd/4th line guy likeTalbot that delivered in game 7, and throughout the series.
As for Fleury, he made BIG sacves in ever series. He didn't have to stand on his head last night, as the Pens defense was great until hte last few mins of the third, but the save he made with a second left WAS a big one.
Detorit will be a favourite EVERY year. Sometimes they win or go far, and sometimes they lose in the first round like they did to the Oil in '06.

HOw many blocked shots did Pittsburgh have compared to the Wings? HOw about Fleury's breakaway save on CLeary? Thing is, the Pens beat Detroit with Crosby and Malkin not scoring in the final three games. I DO think that Detroit would have been better with a healthy Datsyuk, but still......if the Pens showed you "nothing" as you say, then I guess you fail to realize that Crosby is only 21, Malking 22, Fleury 24, and Stall 20. Only gonna get better...
