<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 600535, member: 17502&quot;]I would argue that The Stanley Cup is perhaps the most difficult trophy in professional sports to win back to back.&nbsp; It has been done, by some legendary teams, but the odds are against it. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A lot will depend on what Red Wing team shows up.&nbsp; Consistency has been the challenge this year for Detroit.&nbsp; They have the talent and depth.&nbsp; Not every team has four lines they can play, and that can score.</p><p>Detroits defense cannot allow the number of shots that Chicago was able to produce.&nbsp; If Detroit can control the number of shots that Pittsburgh can generate, my prediction will be Detroit in 6.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In Chicago, my advice would be to continue building, they have two solid producing lines, and to listen to their consultant, Scotty Bowman.&nbsp; He understands building for the long term success of a franchise.&nbsp; He was a key element in identifying young players, and in developing their talent before the pressures of the NHL were thrust upon them.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just more ramblings from an old hockey fan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
