A couple of facts following the Pens' implosion vs. the Wings tonight in Detroit:
14 of the last 19 teams to win Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final have won the Cup.
32 of 33 teams to win games 1 and 2 at home in the Stanley Cup Final have won the Cup.
Last season, Detroit led Pittsburgh 3 games to 2 going into game six in Pittsburgh. Detroit won game six (and the Cup).
HOWEVER
The last two of "my" teams to win the Cup--Colorado in 2001 and Tampa in 2004--both came back from 3-2 deficits to win it.
See you Tuesday in Pittsburgh!
(Not really, I'll be at home. But that seemed like a nice way to end this post)
(Even though now it's not really the ending)
(But if you treat these parenthetical notations like most people treat stage directions, you probably aren't even reading them anyway)
