Originally posted by SmookiePJust an amazing game, We get the games live here in England too, can't wait now til wednesday night, what a fantastic series. Fleury was just outstanding tonight.... If the Pens can win this next game I think they'll go into Saturdays showdown as favorites????????
Damnit, I missed the winning goal.. was in the kitchen getting a beer.. I'm glad though- was rooting for the underdogs!!!
Good luck pens in Pittsburgh
Fell asleep at the beginning of triple overtime. Wish I could have seen the winning goal. Though 2nd overtime, the Pens actually looked like they wanted this cup for the first time in this series. The key for Pittsburgh here is to get some defense, right now fleury is the only defense they have. Their offense needs to get organized. These breakaways they keep putting on where 1 guy rushes headfirst into 3 Detroit defenders isn't going to work in games 6 or 7 for that matter. Should Pittsburgh win the cup, Fleury should get MVP.
Originally posted by zakkwylderWell, minus the first 2 games, Pittsburgh has really been playing well, or at least equal to Detroit. They're loss in game 5 was awful, but it's not like they got blown out. And last night, wow, that was intense. If they can get a few things together, they could possibly pull it off.
It is definitely evident that Detroit wants the Stanley Cup alot mroe than Pittsburgh. The only reasons they have stayed alive thus far is superb goal tending and sheer dumb luck.

Originally posted by uzlessThough I see where you're coming from, the fact that they out shot Pitts. almost 2:1 simply means that Fleury has both earned them the right to be there but also the opportunity. I don't mean to harp, but he really is the only member of that team pulling all their weight. The rest of them look like a pack of hyenas. I want Pitts. to win this series and I hope to see a better performance from them tonight.

Pittsburgh is 17-1 in their last 18 home games, the only loss coming from Detroit on Saturday.
Since 1997, Detroit is 12-0 in Game 6s in which they've been up 3-2.
Something's gonna give tonight.
I got my money on Detroit winning the cup in Pittsburgh tonight by a score of 4-2.
