He said that two periods ago though. :lol
What an amazing game. Fleury was so clutch and he really showed that regardless of what happens in this series he is a big time goalie. If the Pittsburgh's management can keep the core of the team together they will be scary down the road.
That said, amazing effort by both teams and I can easily see this series going to Game 7 and it flipping either way.

That was almost the only call the refs got right all game.

Damn this Pens team. They've made me care again.

i hate living in chicago. back in detroit i at least could have watched this on cbc
it's no diferent on cbc dude :lol
agreed. i'd be livid if the pens won on one of those goaltender interference penalties though.jman2050 said:
figured once it was a 4 minute penalty that the game was over. that's hard enough to kill in the first period, let alone the sixth :lol

I give the Pens the first period. Then they went on cruise control (or stuck in neutral) until Mad Max went beyond thunderdome. Then RoboMAF showed up.
Incredible game, but it figures that a PP would decide it.
The Pens aren't really able to compete against the wings 5-on-5 for a whole game.
Well, it was good that the penalty was pretty unquestionable atleast. I thought Detroit could have gotten another PP a couple of minutes before the high stick when Zetterberg was tripped but whatever.
Really tough mentally for the Wings to rebound after being 35 seconds away from the cup, but I think they showed in the OT that they can do it. They dominated in the last 4-5 periods and if they just take that with them into the next game it should be over.

"Amazing game. I need need NEED a Fleury jersey 
"
Same here, only reason I held off was so I could get mine with the stanley cup patch!

What a game! My wife was even getting into it by the 2nd OT, which is saying something. I don't know how Datsyuk earned 2nd star tonight if Zetterberg didn't get one, that made little sense to me but hey! it's the CBC.
A couple of things:
1. Malkin is a waste of space.
2. Detroit absolutely owned the neutral zone. You could set your watch by the amount of times Pittsburgh would fight to gain possession in their own zone, fight to get the puck out by flinging it off the boards...only for it to fall on a Detroit stick and the whole process start over again. Seriously now, it's time for a new approach. :lol
Anyways, the next game is going to be a doozy. Pittsburgh has young legs on their side, Detroit has to be a little shaky on Osgood. I don't think the Penguins can rope-a-dope for another entire game, though. If Detroit doesn't close 'em out Wednesday, it'll happen in Game 7.
Great game, and again full marks to Marc-Andre Fleury. He was absolutely sublime in net.
edit: And :lol :lol @ X26 eating his heart out over the call. Highstick + blood = four minutes in the box, you should know that.

as much as the wings outplayed them for most of the game, you can't start playing when you are down 2-0 like the wings did. Bad first period for them and that may have just cost them the game. oh well props to pittsburgh they played their asses off and fleury was a beast. everyone was looking pretty beat in the last two ot's.
you can't yank ozzy now though. just gotta remember he's been here before and knows what it takes to refocus.
i'm actually pumped the wings lost. i know I shouldn't say that and it's not accurate. i'd have loved if they won, but i have all day wednesday off and now i can bounce around in my zetterburg jersey annoying the shit out of people, wings car flags and all. it would have sucked to know that i just worked thru seeing the wings win the cup.
