Well, the first game of the Stanley Cup Finals in hockey is done and over with. The score is 4-0 with the Detroit Red Wings coming out ahead and they lead the series against the Pittsburgh Penguins 1-0. If you want an unbiased report and statistics on the game, then you might as well go to another topic. This is Penguins territory...

The game was interesting and I personally thought that the Penguin performance basically sucked (emphasis on "sucked"). They weren't aggressive and physical enough and the Pens let the Red Wings beat them up... Jeez, that's what Laraque is for! Use him please!

In the next game, I would like to see the Penguins be more physical and aggressive. Instead of three players attempting to score in the Red's territory, try four. That'll make a difference in controlling the puck. Also, start body-slamming their key players more often but not to the extent where it would cause a penalty (just do what the Red Wings did to us tonight).

The traditions I saw on the ice were really annoying and pointless. "The Ceremonial Puck Drop"??? Use that time for something more useful like airing the "Star-Bangled Banner" on TV or something. The squid... just plain creepy. Ehh... at least they were interesting to see anyways.

That's all I have to say for now and I'll sign off in a different way tonight.

LET'S GO PENS ! !! ! ! !
