from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
Ten reasons why his Pittsburgh Penguins will win the Stanley Cup:
10. The father’s son: Shero learned the game from his Stanley Cup-winning father, Fred, whose coaching style was two parts tactics and three parts motivation. “Success is not the result of spontaneous combustion,” the late Fred Shero used to say. “You must first set yourself on fire.” He believed that winning was about heart as much as talent, and he could watch a youngster take two shifts and know whether he had the passion necessary to be a NHL player.

I hate to say it, but I don’t like seeing these kinds of predictions, especially after a mediocre preseason. The Penguins should make the playoffs, and after that, a team just needs to get hot, so it could happen, but I don’t know if they should be the Cup favorite, because of their defensive problems. If either Crosby or Fleury gets hurt, we’ll find what this team is made of. I sure hope we don’t have to find that out!
