The Penguins were facing elimination in Game 5 last year, and they scored the winning goal in triple OT when at any time the Red Wings could have scored to end the series.
They are really missing the real one-second difference in that in Game 6 with literally the closing seconds, Crosby almost scored, and Hossa on the rebound which would have sent that game into OT as well.
It almost sent me out of a 4th story window as well, haha.
The Red Wings completely and utterly dominated them last year in the first two games (I was at game two in Detroit). To the point that everyone thought it was going to be a 4 game sweep. The Penguins made it a series, at least an exciting enough one for people who are neither fans of either to watch.
They should show the heartbreak of the one second to the Penguins, and the jubilation of the Red Wings in Game 6.
Game 5 only works because well ... who doesn't like the Penguins, haha.
