Sick of hearing Wings/Pens comparison with Islanders/Oilers
Everyone has been talking about how the young Oilers of the 80s made the cup finals and lost to the veteran Islanders. Gretzky commented that after the last game he walked by Islanders' locker room and the old guys weren't partying but nursing their wounds.
Oilers, a year wiser, won next year against Islanders.
Islanders were an old old veteran team. Just because the Wings are older than Penguins does not mean they are so old they have to rely on experience to compensate for lack of speed. If anything, Wings have been flying all over the Penguins. The old farts like Chelios and Draper aren't even playing. Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Hossa = old? More like they are in their prime.
