Believe: Penguins 4-2 Red Wings
Fourteen down, two to go. Best of seven: Detroit 2-2 Pittsburgh.

It may very well take all seven games, but we are not going to lose this series. We threw away a tremendous opportunity this evening—and have no doubt that we threw away the opportunity, the Penguins did not take it from us—but we are far from bested. The Pens have skill and enthusiasm, but the Red Wings have the fire of champions. After our pathetic, lazy showings in Games 3 & 4 only a fool would insist that things don't looks bleak. They look bleak, they look very, very bleak, but appearances can be deceiving. Mark my words, when all is said and done the captain parading Lord Stanley's Cup around the arena, and that could be either The Joe or the Igloo, will be Nicklas Lidstrom not Sidney Crosby. This I believe.

Believe.

Now to watch tonight's D.V.R.ed season premiere of Burn Notice. We Mike W.s have to stick together.
