So I've been red hot since the poor showing in the first round.  I even had picked the wings in 5!  I did think however that Cam Ward alone would push Pitt to 6 games...  either way.  The finals are here and it should be a great show.

Stanley Cup Funals
2. Detroit Red Wings vs. 4. Pittsburgh Penguins
The last time there was a rematch of the Cup Finals was 1983 and then 1984.  I do see a lot of similarities.  The great Islanders were 4 time defending champs... basically had been the best team for a while.  Much like the Red Wings of today.  The Oilers had a couple of young superstars really coming into their own in Gretzky and Messier... much like the Penguins of today with Crosby and Malkin.  In 1983, the young Oilers learned a lot from their finals loss and bounced back this year.  I see the same thing happening, unlike the 1984 finals, I think the Wings will not go in 5.  Penguins in 7
