I don't EXPECT it to go this way, but here's my version of the perfect scenario.
The Wings go down tonight 7-0 and there are numerous fights in the game. The Pens goals include a hat trick for Geno, a hat trick for Sykora, AND a shortie from Staal.
Then Game 7 is a nailbiter, goal for goal every 5 minutes, with all the goals coming from role players, not stars. It finally goes into overtime. About 3 minutes into the second OT (I don't think I could take 3 OTs again), Crosby goes on a breakaway and dekes, completely pulling Osgood off center position, and flicks the puck across his body into an open side of the net. Or he takes a pass from the other head of the 2-headed monster-- because really, so few goalies can count to 2 when they are both right off the crease, one to each side-- and it's a power wraparound/stuff.
But my money is staying in my pocket. (I think we go down, tonight, AGAIN.) May puck luck be ours.
GO PENS!
