The entire season, every game, every loss, every point, every injury, every goal, every save and every playoff game has lead to tonight, game 7 tonight in Detroit. The Pens know exactly what is at stake, they have waited their entire leaves to have this opportunity. Whoever wins tonight, wins it all. Everyone know the story lines. The Pens want revenge for last year's defeat against the same Detroit Red Wings, the Pens are considered the under dogs, the whole Hossa storyline, but none of these matters. The only thing that is essential now is what happens in game 7 tonight, what happens that will determine who will raise Lord Stanley's Cup above their head tonight.
The numbers are against the Pens because they are not home, the odds have been against them and people have counted them out, but we will see who prevails tonight.
I don't look at the fact that each team in this series has won only at home, almost all the numbers go out the window, because this is game 7. A game where every player will give everything they have, leave everything out on the ice, empty their tanks, make sure that no matter what the outcome, they can not say to themselves that they could have done better. To me, that sounds like a whole new game and an exciting one for sure.
It is the hardest trophy in all of sports to earn and here we are in a critical and exciting game 7 that does not come along too often in Finals, and the winner takes all. The winner will have their dreams come true, while the other team leaves disappointed and unsatisfied and bitter memories that will last a lifetime. We know all about that, it happened to us last year. We want a different outcome, we want that picture perfect finish, the picture where Sidney Crosby raises the Stanley Cup and passes it on to his teammates in Joe Louis Arena.
