I don't live in the US, what does it have to do with anything though? It's a Detroit / Penguins rematch this year and it'll be good one. Either way, I'm going to say Pitsburg is going to take the cup this year. Between last year, and this year the penguins have really matured as a team, and the Malkin/Crosby line is really one of the few lines that is very hard to beat, especially when they're on their game. Not only that, but their physical presensce is an agressive one, and their zone play is just as agressive giving them all the scoring chances they need.
As much as I dislike Crosby, since he is a whining snivelling *****, I can't deny his ability to play hockey. It's a sixth sense to him and whenever he has the puck, it's hard to take it away. His ability to look ahead, read plays and make those necessary passes don't hurt either. So I'm gonna say Pitsburg in 6.

Sadly, although I'm a Devils fan first, and a Pens fan second, Detroit is just too good, too well coached, and too deep for the Penguins. I'd love to see Sid the Kid get his first cup, but he'll probably have to wait for another year.
About the only chance they have is if Chicago pushes Detroit to a game 6 or even 7 and tires the Red Wings out.
While Detroit is a great team as well. I don't think they will come out on top this year. They're a younger team, which does give em that never get tired aspect. But the Pens have had the time to mature as a team, since last year and I think that'll give em that edge they need. Besides, it's about time someone other then Detroit won the cup. They are offically a dynasty with 11 cups under their belt.
