Penguins are in the Finals!!!

Sidney Crosby is well aware that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

He promises the Penguins have learned, and that Game 1 of their Stanley Cup final series against Detroit — 8 p.m. tonight at Joe Louis Arena — will not resemble his first road playoff experience.

Crosby and Co. were humbled last season by Ottawa at Scotiabank Place in Game 1 of an opening-round series. They lost, 6-3, and the score was not indicative of how shell-shocked the Penguins admittedly were.

The Penguins know they must win at least once in Detroit to raise the Cup, and they would prefer to accomplish that task tonight, or at least before the series shifts to Mellon Arena next week for Games 3 and 4.

Some players are convinced starting a series on the road is an advantage. I think the Penguins can take advantage and win one on the road!
