I agree anything can happen, but the Pens have looked like a different team at the Joe, especially Fleury. And history is very much on the Wings side. If they can play to their full potential and not come out flat, I like the Wings to win #12 on Friday.

Nothing has shown me they can win there. THis has been so agonizing.......if they lose Saturday, I wouldve rather have just gotten swept.

Detroit is still the better team and I am slightly surprised we are still hanging in there. We got two garbage goals tonight to pull that win out.

I still am amazed how Pens players will go through bouts when Detroit has the puck in their zone (even strength) where they wont attack and try to take the puck. They stand around and let the Wings stick handle or move pucks which usually leads to a Detroit goal. I'll never get that.

pens looked very good in the first and frankly if they dont come out like that they have no chance of winning the game. Detroit picked it up the second half and I was one the edge of my seat, the nerves are shooting through the roof.

Hey, its been a good series win or lose..........Detroit is a classy organization that knows how to win. Very disciplined team and well coached. Ive always admired teams/organizations like the Wings. Besides, Detroit people, we have the Pirates and you have the Lions (two of the worst run pro sports teams.)So we can appreciate the well run teams.

Pens dominated the first 15 minutes of last game in Detroit and they had nothing to show for it......then Fleury let that soft goal in and that really deflated the Pens and shortly after frustraton set in and they fell apart.

Im not expecting a win Friday, but Im hoping. If they played this game 10 times at the Joe, I think Detroit would win 8-9 of them.

I'm just hoping these young players let it all out, Fluery plays like the goaltender that he has the potential to be, and we get a few bounces our way.

Anything can happen in game 7, it's why these two great teams are here

Fleury is the key. Detroit fans are gonna ride his ass hard after that last game. I always thought Fleury has been a headcase......he seems to have matured some, but he is gonna have to stand on his head Friday and nothing has shown me in these playoffs that he will. He has just been too inconsistent. I cant see Pens scoring more than 2 goals, so Fleury better pitch himslef a shutout or one hitter.

I actually think fleury doesn't really get all caught up in letting goals go in and having bad games. I think it's more of he is either on and seeing the puck well or he isn't. He has seemed to bounce back rather well after bad games throughout his career.

Which fleury will show up? he has had trouble at the joe but that's the thing with him. He can stand on his head and I wouldnt be suprised at all.
