Can Penguins Win At The ‘Joe’?

from Tim Wharnsby of the Globe and Mail,
The Penguins are a confident bunch after staving off elimination. But if they are going to succeed in Detroit, they will have to overcome a mental hurdle of winning at Joe Louis Arena. In the three previous games in Detroit in this series, Pittsburgh has been outscored 11-2, and the Penguins are coming off a 5-0 blanking there in game five.
The Penguins’ lack of success at Joe Louis Arena has little to do with the home team getting the last change or the supportive Red Wings crowd. It has more to do with the fact that the Penguins haven’t been as aggressive in their pursuit of the puck on the road in this series and they haven’t been as determined around Detroit goalie Chris Osgood as they have been at Mellon Arena.
