from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
...And, no matter how rattled Detroit looked the other night, it would be a terrible mistake to assume Pittsburgh’s coronation. Truth is, the Penguins need Game 5 more than the Wings do.
“I expect Pittsburgh will be really fired up Saturday night,” said one NHL coach. “If they win, they have the chance to win the Stanley Cup on home ice. If they lose, then they know they have to win it on the road. The chance to win it at home is a huge motivator.”
Who would you bet on in a Game 7 at Joe Louis?
The schedule, which favoured the Penguins early in the series, helps Detroit at the end.
Battered and bruised much worse than they’re letting on, the Wings would be hugely helped by the two days off before Games 6 and 7.
