    What a load of bull hockey. It was by far the best game…not just as a Pens game, but as a hockey fan. The third period was probably the best 20 minutes I’ve seen by two sides all playoffs long.

    Of course I’m happy with the outcome. And of course I’m sure the NHL is as well. But the refs made some atrocious calls and non-calls to both sides last night, so I hardly think you can hand this one to the refs.

    I'll second that. Red Wings take it back and win it in Detroit.;)

    Thumbs up

    It looks as though age isn't going to be a factor. A lot of folks thought that the Penguins would give Detroit some serious competition because they were so much youger and wanted the cup more than Detroit.... I'll take age and experience over a youthfull team anytime. We here in Detroit are ready to see the cup skated on Monday. GO WINGS!!!

    Last night was yet another great game. I think Detroit killing that 5 on 3 was the nail in the coffin. Detroit is definately the superior team. Henrik Zetterburg is phenominal !!!

    Cheer up Pens fans, youve had a great year and have a young team. I think Pittsburgh will be a great contender in the next few years.

    This year, the Wings deserve the cup. They have been on top all year long and have showed they are the best team. I would just like to see a game 7.

    Really! If you have not read it yet the PENS are down 3-1. Game 5 in Detroit.
    I can't see how the Pens can win especial if Detroit gets the first goal and even if the Pens get the first one in the last game you saw how the Red Wings came back. Sorry to say Red Wings Stanley Cup Champs!

    Thats what my comment meant. Detroit in 5. Just didn't spell out the team, but I sure don't see 7 games happening.

    That was pretty much one of the best hockey games I have seen. I'm still holding out for a game 7.

    I would agree with that. It does make for a long off season until the end July when the NFL starts and the NHL does not start training camp until Sept. I believe most teams start second or third week.

    Leo, remember the buffalo/new jersey series in the late 90's. Seemed like every game went to at lest 2 OT's. I could only make it to the beginning of the second OT. Gettin' old.

    Love the third period when detroit stated mixing up the lines. Reminded me of street hockey, you played with whoever. Talk about a big pick me up. They needed 34 seconds more.......

    what an incredible game. Wings will probably still win it, and probably in the next game. The Pens history of winning series after long OTs is not great...but man what a game. I'm physically exhausted today from it.

    Despite pacing the floor and generally making myself crazy I could not keep my eyes open until the end. Did not know the outcome until this morning. Would have been great to win on the home pond and get it over with. Win or lose, both of these teams are playing hard. Maybe they'll put the old man(Cheli) in for a bit next game. Apparently Tiger Woods was speaking at the Oakland Hills Country Club yesterday when someone asked him who he'd like to see win the Stanley Cup. His response.."I don't care. Nobody really watches hockey anymore anyway." And he said this in Hockeytown! I'm sure Nike was pleased. Uh, Tiger? Mmmm, dumb thing to say in Detroit. :finger:

    Maybe it's cause Nike lost the contract bids to Reebok ;)

    Fleury was incredible. Sykora called it. He said he would score the game winner and he did. Gonchar back on the ice after missing almost 3 periods to be out there on the winning shift. All just amazing.

    No more predictions from me.....It was a great game, triple over time lead to twice the amount of beer and a very late night and add to the fact i had a 7:00am flight this AM. This is going to be a very long day! Hopefully no overtime in game six, i dont think i can do this twice in one week.

    Grubie, I am really trying to like the Pens (home state team, and all) but I'm having a hard time. I just don't like those guys.
    ...Just ask me...

    of course you don't...home state or not, if you're a Flyers fan, it's an antithetical thing. I could never bring myself to like the Flyers either.

    Thats Right!!! He did call it. I didnt realize that until now.

    I think even though the Pens are definately outgunned in this series....They now have a great chance to force a game 7 since game 6 will be in Pittsburgh.

    If it comes down to Game 7.........You never know what can happen:cheers:

    One thing ALL hockey fans should be happy about (despite it making Bettman look good):

    NEW YORK (AP)—The triple-overtime thriller in the Stanley Cup finals Monday night drew the highest ratings for a Game 5 since 2002.
    The Pittsburgh Penguins’ 4-3 win to avoid elimination against the Detroit Red Wings earned a 4.3 overnight rating and an 8 share on NBC. That’s a 79 percent increase over last year’s 2.4 for Game 5 between Anaheim and Ottawa.
    It was the best Game 5 rating since the Carolina-Detroit matchup in 2002 drew a 4.5.
    Game 4 on Saturday earned a 2.3 national rating and 5 share, up 21 percent over last year’s 1.9.
    The rating is the percentage watching a program among homes with televisions, and the share is the percentage tuned into the broadcast among those households with TVs on at the time. Overnight ratings measure the country’s largest markets.

    I agree I could not hold my eye lids open after the first three periods let alone the three o/t's.
