Good. I don't want any crybaby action when the Penguins wipe them all over the ice.

Incidentally, can someone with some time on their hands figure out how many players from both Pittsburgh and Detroit played in last year's Cup final and will play in this year's? (Hossa doesn't count, I mean guys who played for the same team both times.) I do NOT have time on my hands, btw. And what am I even doing in this forum.
