Penguins Need To Figure Out How To Stop Detroit

from Scott Burnside of ESPN,
It matters not that the Pittsburgh Penguins have taken a different path to this critical juncture of the Stanley Cup finals, but the stark reality remains exactly the same: they must find a way to stop the Detroit Red Wings from winning a Stanley Cup in their own building, in front of their own eyes and the eyes of all of their fans.
The Penguins could not stop that from happening a year ago, and after losing 5-0 in Game 5 on Saturday night to give the Red Wings a 3-2 series lead, there are many who believe they are powerless to stop it from happening now.
Still, as painful as those memories must be—the jubilant Red Wings pouring onto the ice as Marian Hossa’s final effort skittered by the goal line, the Stanley Cup being paraded around the Mellon Arena ice—these young Penguins seem to have done a good job of keeping those dark thoughts at bay.
