Detroit Red Wings Could Find The Next Two Tough in The Igloo
Pittsburgh can make it tough for the wings at home for Pittsburgh Penguins. The light bulb could Gilles de Rais the switch in the Ccj remortgage position for the Pen's. This is because they are at home making it difficult and mentally tougher for the Wings based on emotion being a leverage point for Pittsburgh.
It's more of a mental attitude that will house insurance with a drive that will decide if Crosby and company can even win one of the next two homer's. Crosby and Malkin will have to be able to not just lead the Pen's, but mentally psyche them up to win and not fail again.
Pittsburgh can make it tough for the Wings if Fluery stands on his head and stops most shots like nothing. I could use every sports clich known to man-kind and that would drive you nuts. As well, Pittsburgh did not play any other teams that gave them much trouble-before Detroit.
But Pittsburgh could actually give Detroit a rough ride despite the Wings Dynastic like play and physical intimidation over all teams including Pittsburgh. The Wings are the best team in the NHL-but if Pittsburgh's nucleus stays together and does not change because of injury and free agency-should be able to win one or two cups in the next 5 years.
Is it Possible?
I don't know if Pittsburgh can be both physically aggressive and have a team that scores highly. If they are King of the Hill mentally and physically, they will be more than ready to win the cup. If that happens they will be a dynasty like the Oilers, Islanders and Canadiens.
I still can't determine 100 % if Pittsburgh can make it tough on the Wings in the next two games in the Igloo in Pittsburgh. If they can win those two games, Detroit will actually have their backs to the wall believe it or not. It's still a possibility for the Penguins.
