from Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press,
It’s a showcase for the next hot rivalry in professional sports.
The Wings and Penguins possess all the natural ingredients—skill, antagonism and, perhaps most important, the likelihood they’ll meet again in years to come.
The teams could meet for a third straight time in the finals next year, so winner beware.
Revenge is the lifeblood of any legitimate rivalry.
The NHL has struck the mother lode.
NBC may be looking at a ratings bonanza Friday night because they have two star-laden teams and two more traditional hockey franchises. The Wings are one of the Original Six. The Penguins are part of the Next Six that came into the league for the 1967-68 season.
