ok but the entire Red Wings roster has way more "world class" players than the Penns has. The Penns have 2 great ones, and 2 on the bubble, and the rest a bunch of guys. The Red Wings see more talent than that at every one of their own practices.
The fact is that they were tired, whether mental or physical or IMO both... the fact is that they closed out Chicago in 5, which was only 1 more game than the Penns had vs. Carolina but the fact that the Penns ended a couple days earlier and the NHL rushed the series to try and get it on NBC (NBC went with reality shows during the week anyway, which shows how much they respect the NHL lol)... gave the Wings just a day off before the Penns series, then having to play back to back with a banged up team and without one of their MVP candidates.
Take Malkin or Crosby off of the Penns, for example and they would have already been toast that is a fact. Take Datsyuk off the Wings, and they are hanging but tired and need some rest. That is not due to having to cover 'world class players' trust me on that one...
We will see what happens going forward...things could change and Fluery while pretty good at home, is weak on the road... anything could happen but if the Wings dont get their legs, its over.
