That last pass to Sharp was the prettiest in the playoffs (that I've seen) so far.

Great game - I didn't want it to end, but I'm glad the The Birds got one at home. Yumchah must be delirious.

I had no idea you could dress 3 goalies for a game. Never seen that before.

Holy hell what a game tonight, the hawks deserved to win that one, glad they pulled it out. Sharp has really been impressing me

I had to catch the entire game on AM radio as Tina and I had to drive down to visit her family...

But, yeah...I thought it was over when the Wings tied it and then to make things worse, Bulin getting injured. Huet had not played for so long...and Havlat was gone.

But, the team found it in themselves to duke it out for the 3rd period and then score in OT. Just saw the highlights...What a pass by Pahlsson!

meh. The Pens are dominating. Carolina has no chance to stop both Crosby and Malkin. Honestly, if Malkin is hot, I think the only d-man in the league who could consistently shut him down is maybe Pronger.

This series is a yawn-fest.

I agree. We are most likely witnessing the birth of a dynasty. When they're both on, I don't know what team can beat them.

They probably would have won it all last year if Malkin didn't go in the tank in the finals.

They'll have a shot at redemption this year. I'm looking forward to seeing a very entertaining final.

Also when you look at the core group of players both Pittsburgh and Detroit have signed long term, this likely won't be the last time they meet in the finals.

We'll have to wait and see. Detroit makes the game look so easy and they can still take it to another level.

He def fizzled last year, leading scoring this year, wow what a great game, wstevens, it's not a yawn fest if you're rooting for the pens

oofa. the ultimate nightmare: the other team scores while their still announcing who scored your team's goal.

Yummy must be wearing his Toews jersey and is not in the stands.

OK so it is obviously a rematch of last year - Wings vs Pens. If you think otherwise, I have some oceanfront property in Kansas I have for sale if you are interested.


Pens > Wings in 6.

Okay dude...You're not allowed to go to a Hawks game again.



And before the smart@$$es say anything, I'm banking on Chicago recovering and forcing a Game 6 back at the United Center.

So I may have overreacted just a little...

The kids got schooled and most of them got sent to detention. I hope they grow up for the next game.

Game 6, here I come!

Groin-related injury. I think he's out for Game 5...but, you never know how injuries work in the playoffs.

Regardless of whether it was Huet or Bulin in net last game, it was a poor game played by Chicago. From what I read, the Hawks spent the game more worried about trying to get their retribution for Kronwall's hit on Havlat than anything else.

The Kids need to get it into their skulls that winning is the ultimate revenge and not going around the ice trying to hit for justice.

Same matchup as last year only Pens don't have Hossa plus Fluery was playing a lot better and basically the same role players. And they got destroyed last year. Plus I hate to say it but the Kids(Geno and Crosby) can't keep scoring 2-4 goals a game, the hot streak has to end at some point.

They aren't on a hot streak. They're capability is just 10x what other players in the NHL can defend.
