Stanley Cup finals, Game 6: Red Wings vs. Penguins(06/04/2008) 
7:31
Michael Zuidema: 
Greetings once again from Mellon Arena for Game 6 between the Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:31 Michael Zuidema
7:32
Michael Zuidema: 
No lineup changes for the Red Wings tonight. Everyone is healthy and says they're ready to play after that triple-overtime classic in Game 5 Monday.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:32 Michael Zuidema
7:32
Michael Zuidema: 
For the Penguins, Gonchar (back spasms) and Malone (broken nose) will be playing. After all, they're hockey players, right?

[Comment From MIkeMIke: ] 
Michael - Are you sensing any nerves on the Red Wings tonight?
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:32 MIke
7:33
Michael Zuidema: 
I don't think so. I think they're more angry than anything after losing Game 5. I think they'll come out firing in the first period, trying to shake Pens goalie Marc-Andre Fleury.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:33 Michael Zuidema
7:34
Michael Zuidema: 
The Igloo should be a great atmosphere again. Even though it's raining here in the Steel City, hundreds of fans were already lining up to watch the game on the big screen outside. One even had his spot staked out at 10:15 a.m. These fans are nuts, no doubt about it.

[Comment From MIkeMIke: ] 
How is Holmstrom? Back to his normal self? will he park himself directly in front of Fleury?
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:34 MIke
7:35
Michael Zuidema: 
He'll certainly try. He takes a lot of abuse, but it's not anything he's not used to.

Hey Michael, how do you think Ozzie is doing mentally today after game 5?
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:35 Dominic

Michael Zuidema: 
I think Ozzie is fine. It's not like people haven't been questioning him his whole career. He should be ready.

Who do you think should win the Conn Smyth

Michael Zuidema: 
My vote, if I had one, in order: Zetterberg, Osgood, Lidstrom, Franzen.

Zetterberg if they win....

Fleury if they lose...........
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:37 MIke

I agree completely. Fleury if the Pens somehow win two more games.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:37 Michael Zuidema

[Comment From GuestGuest: ] 
i think hands down it would have been Franzen if he hadnt missed all those games
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:37 Guest
7:37
Michael Zuidema: 
I agree again. Although, Zetterberg has been phenomenal all season long. And it's hard to argue with Lidstrom.

Not sure yet. But if the Wings win tonight, I've got to think they'll do it Friday or Saturday and take advantage of the weekend.

Whatever happend to Downey
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:38 Guest
7:39
Michael Zuidema: 
Helm started playing outstanding, McCarty was signed to add scoring touch with toughness ... basically they ran out of roster spots. Downey is a tough guy, but he doesn't have the speed of Helm or the hands of McCarty.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:39 Michael Zuidema
7:39
[Comment From natenate: ] 
Really i think hes much better then McCarty
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:39 nate
7:40
Michael Zuidema: 
McCarty is much more of a scorer. Better hands and instincts around the net. And more experience in the playoffs.
Wednesday June 4, 2008 7:40 Michael Zuidema
7:40
Michael Zuidema: 
But Downey is a fine player, too. It just goes to show you the embarrassment of riches the Red Wings have.

I don't think so. I'm sure there are Pens fans who feel like all anyone talks about is the Wings. It's tough for the media to win sometime. (And now I'll quit the "woe is me" act.)

Michael Zuidema: 
A lot of people seem to think Helm is on the Wings, but I think it depends on training camp. Kopecky will be healthy and if McCarty is back then it makes more sense to play in GR, at least to start the season. But he's been outstanding in the playoffs, so we'll see.
