I love my Pens, but clearly Detroit is a better team. It still amazes me how much of a cake walk the East was.
Hellacious game. It's 3-3 with 8:00 left in OT. Detroit has been putting the pressure on the whole OT, but now the Penguins are putting furious pressure on the Red Wings. This is what happens when the players get really tired.
Petr Sykora was in the hospital when his linemate Jason Arnott scored in OT to win the Cup in 2000. (Also injured in that game - current teammate and former Star Darryl Sydor.) Things just came full circle. I feel good for Fleury. He deserved to win that game.

What a game! The defense for the Penguins were pretty bad, but Marc Andre-Flury saved the day. He was incredible out there!
im actually kinda glad the Wings lost... I was working, but Im able to watch the next game and watch Lidstrom raise the Cup
Man, I fell asleep near the end of the 2nd OT, but what a game. I'm rooting for the Red Wings, but I'm hoping the Pens take it to Game 7.
The Pens may not be as good as the Red Wings, but they never ever give up Heck of a power play goal with 1:30 left
Man, I thought the Pens had tied it right there at the end. What an ending. Congrats to the Red Wings. I'm happy for Zetterberg and Lidstrom. They're both great players and classy dudes that are getting recognition finally.
ZEETTTTERRRRBUUURRRRRGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wings own!!!! goin out to party and celebrate now. **** WORK!!
Well earned by both teams. I wonder if the Pens would have done any better if they had not traded for Hossa?
As well as Fleury played, especially in Game 5, it stings to look back at the two errors he committed tonight that ended up being the difference. He didn't control the rebound right before the second goal which was compounded by Orpik's failure to get back. Then there was the puck he lost and knocked in for the winning 3rd goal. Detroit was clearly the better team, but I'm proud of how much the Pens grew up during the series
