A sad hockey note: RIP Canuck defenceman Luc Bourdon......Killed today in a motorcycle accident.

GO PENS

You're right Mike......Sad day indeed, as is every day when a young person with a bright future is taken prematurely.

I echo your feelings as to the early passing of the Canuck Luc Bourdon. It's always sad to someone so young pass away. A simular thing almost happened to the Steelers when Rothlisburger crashed his motorcycle. He was very lucky indeed, I guess you just never know when it's your time.

pensrock,
I watched the game, rooted for your pens - it didn't seem to help...

Is it all over but the cryin' ?

FlbentRider, They may win one more but for the Pens to come back now is asking a lot. It's clear to me that the Wings are the best team in hockey this year. The Pens have a real good team but just cannot match up with the Wings puck handeling. Also Osgood has been terrific, he made a lot of big time saves this series. What impresses me the most about the Wings is how easily they get the puck across the blue line, both on offence and defence. I think if the Pens are going to win one more they have to stop the way the Wings get out of their own end of the ice and also how easily they get into the Pens end of the ice.

I'm afraid that you're spot on Pensrock. They have clearly been the better team. I think given a little more time, the Pens will be there as well. I knew this series was over when the Pens had the 5 on 3 and couldn't find the back of the net. It surely isn't over, but the fat chick is definitely warming up the vocal chords. :( :'(

Smoking Duck,
Well Elvis has not quite left the building but he's near the exit.

LOL, LQ. That's a saying coined by the long time Pens announcer Mike Lange. I shamelessly borrowed it from him.

I watched the entire game last night. I don't mind telling you I was so nervous throughout the game that if I had swallowed a quarter, I could have given you back 2 dimes and a nickel! :o

Awesome game! The wife's a hockey fan and she didn't get home from work until the end of the third period, she then got to see almost a whole game staying up and watching the overtimes. I agree with other posters that said it looks like the Wngs are the more polished team, but the Penguins definately have heart. They are just playing grind it out hockey and they are scoring when they need to. What a great game! Go Penguins!!!!

You Hockey fans would be proud of me (kinda). I flipped over to the news and the game was on instead, so I watched the last 16+ minutes of the first overtime. Would have watched until the end, but I needed my sleep.

I gotta admit, it was very interesting and looked like both teams were really gettin' after it. All I know about Hockey, I learned by watching the Mighty Ducks movies, so if I'm going to follow it more next season (maybe even through the end of this series), I'll need to be more familiar with the rules and stuff.
