Round 4

Round 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, and the last round, are finally here! There is good news, bad news, and very bad news that go along with the final round. The good news is that the Penguins made it to the final round! The bad part about that is that the Canes are out but they did awesome this season so they should be proud of what they were able to accomplish (unlike the Avs who didn't even make the playoffs:(). The bad news is that since the playoffs are almost over, that means no hockey until September. The very bad horrible news is that the red wings are also in the final round. the wings beat the Hawks last night in overtime to win the series in game 5.



The match up for the final round is funny though because it's the same two teams that were in the final round last season when the red wings won the "loser" cup. The penguins have donebetter than the red wings this season, in my opinion (and i'm not just saying that because it's the wings). The penguins have the best young line-up in the league. They have Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, Marc-Andre Fleury and so many others. The Pens line-up is so much better than the old farts on the wings.

Match-ups:

Sidney Crosby against henrik zetterberg (what kind of name is zetterberg?)
Evgeni Malkin against johan franzen (datsyuk is hurt or he would be against Malkin)
Jordan Staal against dan cleary
Marc-Andre Fleury against the guy who is still not good enough to be named
Sergei Gonchar against niklas kronwall (again, lidstrom would be here but he is hurt as well)

This series is going to be a fight till the end. Both teams are looking for 4 more wins to complete the 16 wins you need to win the Stanley Cup. Plus jordan Staal is looking to win the cup so he can have a Stanley Cup ring just like Eric!

GO PENGUINS!!!!!!
