Tonight i predict the 'wings will soar, Penguins will play well again, Gary can be proud of his chosen one but Detroit will be too strong and have a point to prove.
The league has to realise that the persecution of a team based on a player's reputation is wrong and readdress the balance somehow. Holmstrom plays his game to the limits and pushes the boundaries, but that is what great players do. The rules are set and you go out there and play them. How different is it when an enormously gifted young player, deified by the league, dives to emphasise a penalty or constantly whines in the officials faces to get them looking for calls and seeing stuff which isn't there? it's professionalism, it's playing within the rules but pushing them.
So long as hockey decides the outcome i can be happy, especially since i think Detroit has a slight edge there.
