Credit the Penns for scoring the goals, but this is not the usual Red Wing team, due to the NHL and their selfish act of reschedualling the finals earlier in order to get it on NBC. Honestly I dont think the Wings can pull out of this. This series is now the penns to lose...

I don't think it's a physical tiredness. I think it's a mental one. And not having Datsyuk is a big part of it. I think the mental wear of constantly having to keep up with world class players is certainly taking it's toll. IMHO any professional athlete that is not in physical shape is a mis-justice. I remember Gilbert Brown of the Green Bay Packers having to get a blow in the Super Bowl. If I was the owner and paying him millions of dollars I'd have shot the fat f*$k.
And still having home ice advantage, it's the Wings series to lose
