I'm going to stay consistent with my words that Detroit is a great team. It's a best of 3 now, with them having 2 at home.
GO PENS GO!!!

A lot of Detroit's goals in the first game(s) were so fluky. I mean, come on, off the back of the boards then off the back of Fleury then in the goal!? Pens goals, on the other hand, have been consistently solid.
- Sorry to inform you, but the Pens got some goals like that too. And whether it's a fluke or not, it counts.juhls
- Not saying it doesn't count. What I AM saying is that luck can only take you so far.BrandNewly
- Of course.juhls

look at the series before. Detroit struggled through everyone. Pens had a tough time with the Caps but handled them smoothly in the end game.
- Detroit did not struggle through everyone... there were good games but they had a handle on every seriesnicole_marie
- sure a little but they should have dominated if they're oging to get through the pens.lazerbass
- ...this time around anyway.lazerbass
- the only team that gave detroit trouble was anaheim.effort

i think detroit is old and are going to fall apart. Pens know how to handle them this time around.

The Pens are just setting themselves up for even more disappointment.

That Staal goal was legendary. Whatever happens, it's gonna be a great series!
- . . . the Pens got this, though.BrandNewly
- sounds like you are trying to convince yourself. lolnicole_marie
- You can think whatever you want to think. I've got confidence in the Pens.BrandNewly

Lol "euro fight"
Watched the game highlights again and I'm finding it odd how poorly the Wings played last night. I REALLY didn't think that the Pens could come back from a two game deficit. The first goal in the next game is going to be huge. Exciting hockey, much better than last years finals.
I'm really getting tired of seeing all the cheap shots. If a player has a bone to pick than he should fight man ffs.
- as angry as i am i am excited for the series... next game will be full of cheap shots... Malkin IS playingnicole_marie
- : )nicole_marie

Yes that was disappointing, and maybe they should have gotten a automatic goal but shouldn't of Malkin been suspended last game, no?
I have never seen a team so eager to fight even when they are WINNING... I don't know what would make the Pens grow up... besides some more facial hair. Detroit needs Datsyuk and a kick in the ass right now.
- I'm not going to lie. The lack of facial hair bothers me, hahaha. But seriously, Pens are full steam ahead.juhls
- haha i know right? crosby's is pathetic but chirs draper looks like a copper brillo padnicole_marie

Detroit is running on empty. Hopefully the trip back to the Joe will give them a little boost—because the Pittsburgh is going at full speed right now.
Hopefully, they get Datsyuk back, and more playing time for the young GR crew.

Kunitz should have gotten a penalty shot on that open-netter, haha.
Staal may have just single handedly changed the entire series with that short handed goal.
- Hmm...possibly.juhls
- Unless the Pens are only good at home. What's up with that anyway? Anyway, Detroit needs to get it together too.juhls
- Penalty-Shot = Automatic Goal on Empty Net. My bads.flavorful
- They are really good at home, just like Detroit is unfortunately. We only lost 2 these playoffs. Detroit has lost 1.flavorful

oh yeah thats the way I thought it would go down and better. It'll be interesting next few games.

"Looks like we have a series, people."
I never understand when people say that. Obviously, if your favourite team is always winning, it's more fun for you! I think it's the people who don't care either way who say this all the time when games are very, very close and teams are tied.

Go Pens!
- sikma0
Woh - didn't think they would win two in a row like that!
Best of 3!!!

Great game. Great series so far !

Detroit is looking very messy right now. Another goal against them and it's pretty much over. Still, lots of time left.
