Well folks it looks like my John Madden predictions of whoever wins the last game of the series and whoever gets to sixteen wins first will win the cup!  Damn I am good...

You do realize a road team hasn't won a game seven in the finals in almost 40 years, right?

Believe me I know, and if I have to see Dan Bylsma miss the net in Jersey back in 2003 one more time I'm going to punch somebody.

and you do realize that the pens are 5-0 all time in road game 7's

i dont think any of that means anything. you throw out everything when it comes to game 7. anything can happen in one game

They've never played a game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final....

And since we're just throwing facts out there, it's also been 25 years since a team came back from an 0-2 defecit to win the Cup...

And this is where I disagree, at least from a gambling perspective.  While technically this is true, I am required to look at every factor, and the best way I see to make any money off this game is to pick Detroit to win by 2 or more goals...

It opened at -170 and has steadily moved down to around -190.  The road team at +160 (opened at +150) or move the goal advantage back towards an even money bet?  Right now, I'll take the even money bet or the under of 5 1/2 goals.

you can quote any stat you want. none of them matter in a one-off game. including the one i threw out

a lot of times the underdog team steals a couple of games with a hot goalie to force a game 7. that was my recollection of the anaheim/devils series. certainly the home team has had the superior goalie throughout this series

Is this the stat you are referring to?

2009 Finals at the Joe:

Fleury 0-3, 4.35 GAA, 0.857 SV%
Osgood 3-0, 1.67 GAA, 0.947 SV%

That hurt.  Bating me in to reminding the audience that New Jersey (led by former Duck Jeff Friesen) beat the then Mighty Ducks 3-0 in game 7....

As if the Bylsma highlight (lowlight) running since Tuesday wasn't enough.
