Stanley Cup Rematch
The Detroit Red Wings are set to defend the Stanley Cup against the same team that they beat in the finals last season. This is the first time since 1984 that two teams have met in the finals in consecutive years. The Edmonton Oilers won that year, ending the New York Islanders reign of four straight titles. The Oilers’ 1984 championship started their run of five titles in seven years.
The Penguins have gained some experience but I don’t think they can handle Detroit just yet. The Red Wings have a better team than they did last season, acquiring Marian Hossa as a free agent in the off season. Hossa played in that final last season as a Penguin.
I think Detroit takes the Cup again. If they do so they will be the first team to repeat as Champions since they did in 1998.
