This is late in being written, but Detroit beat Pittsburgh at home in game four to take a commanding three games to one lead in the series. This shouldn't be a shock given how the series went in the first three games:
Game one: Detroit plays well, Pittsburgh doesn't. Detroit wins going away.
Game two: Detroit plays well, Pittsburgh doesn't. Detroit wins going away.
Game three: Detroit plays well, as does Pittsburgh. Close Penguins victory.
This being the case, it seemed that it would require both another complete effort by the Pens and fortunate breaks to win game four and get back in the series. Just didn't happen. Now, Pittsburgh faces a seemingly insurmountable task... they need to play to their potential three games in a row (certainly possible, but didn't happen the first two games) and get the bounces needed to win each game (not likely given the way Detroit has now played each and every game of the series).
Pittsburgh has great young players and one would think will win a Stanley Cup with Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Marc-Andre Fleury, but it doesn't look to be this season.
