Dave Molinari of the Post-Gazette dug up some ominous stats.
“Road teams, for example, are 2-12 in Game 7 during Cup finals, and the past 18 times an NHL final, NBA finals or World Series has gone to a seventh game, the home team has won.
The last away club to win one of those was the 1979 Pirates, who claimed a championship in Baltimore, and there is not much chance of Penguins coach Dan Bylsma sending Tim Foli or Bill Madlock over the boards tonight.” Click here for the full article
While this sounds ominous, the Pens are surely not looking backward. They cannot afford to be focussed anywhere but on tonight’s matchup at the Joe. We as fans, on the other hand have to obsess over things over which we have no control. I for one will be watching every moment on the edge of my seat. I’m traveling to the Burgh to see the game in the right atmosphere. (Just like I did for the Super Bowl.) I’m hoping I am good luck.
If you cannot be in front of a tv with the game on follow my tweets. I’ll be tweeting the score etc this evening. Click here to follow me on Twitter.
