Sidney Crosby believes that the Penguins match up better with the Red Wings this year. Pittsburgh lost Games 1 and 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals to Detroit last year by a combined score of 7-0. "I think we went in there, very similar to our first year in the playoffs, where we waited to see what it was going to be like. And by that time, it was too late," Crosby said. They lost the Cup to Detroit in six games. "It's a lot different now, knowing what to expect, knowing our opponent a little more," Crosby said. "I don't think we played Detroit last year before the finals. There's a lot more familiarity with everything."
