Thanks, now I'll have that damn song stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

lol its so cheesy but a very catchy tune.

I thought the lamest part of the game lastnight was when they PA system started to play Living on a Prayer, by Bon Jovi, at the part where its like ""ohhhh we are half way there" Because they are now 2 wins away from the Cup, how lame

[hellawaits77]

That was pretty lame.

I think the Pens have actually played pretty good, they just aren't cashing on their chances. Guerin hit the post, Sid was stopped on a breakway and a "semi-breakaway", someone else missed the night in a good chance, etc.

Oh yeah, remember how I said Fleury had to play strong? FUCK HIM. The Wings have had to earn (IMO), 2 goals outta their 6. Fuck Fleury

Some words from a Pittsburgh Sports Writer :

Marc-Andre Fleury: Yeah, he's the Penguins' goalie, but he has three of Detroit's last seven goals in Stanley Cup final competition, dating to Zetterberg's Cup winner in Game 6 last season, which Fleury inadvertently knocked into his net. Look, Fleury is a great goalie and still only 24 — the Penguins would not be here without him — but he needs to be one of their best players, not one who is prone to calamitous lapses. Some of the fluky goals can be attributed to bad luck. All of them can't be.

The whole team needs to play better. They aren't being at all physical, the wingers seem to be taking on an attitude of "let's let Crosby do it", relying on him too much and telegraphing passes to him that Detroit's D are all over. Orpick needs to get his head out of his ass and start playing D instead of taking himself out of the play (and hanging MAF out to dry) to make an unnecessary hit.

We'll see if Malkin's fight sparks anything in the Pens, if not and they can't get anything going, they'll lose the Cup in successive years to the same team on home ice.

I'm also watching the AHL Calder Cup finals as the Manitoba Moose are playing the Hersey Bears.
I should be at the game, but some shit came up and couldn't go, 2nd consecutive 15,000+ sellout at Winnipeg's MTS Centre. I hope it goes for a game 6 so I can go, unless the Moose win in 5

[maidencolorado]

I'll be at the games in Hershey on the 6th and 7th in Hershey. Great to hear the crowd is so good for the Moose games.

Crosby, Malkin and Gonchar showed up tonight. Let's see if they can even things up on Thursday and turn it into a series.

Go Pens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sjmike]

Penguins as a team showed up tonight for a change. Good to see them win after getting destroyed in Detroit.

That's awesome man. In Hersey, do they have any promo cups (plastic) that they serve beer in? May sound strange but I collect hockey cups as such lol. Have a few Moose, Marlies & Admirals.

For the NHL, great game tonight, I was real happy to see Pitt playing as they should. Lets just hope game 4 goes the same way.

Me: What, it's for Shawn in Canada.
