Bang on Phil. I can't believe how at HOME Therrien isn't concerned with line matchups. Why he wouldn't at least try matchups on home ice is baffling to me. Has the Crosby line played better at home? A shift here and a shift there sure, but Zetterberg and Co. are doing a great job to, at the very least, neutralize their effectiveness over the course of the game. On the road you can be forgiven for that kind of thing because you don't have last change. Therrien's refusal to try and get better line matchups is a major reason the Pens are down 3-1.

Then again he's been too busy whining about interference calls to think about much else. And hey, it worked Mikey, you got a 5 on 3 for a minute and a half last night. Too bad your boys couldn't hit the broadside of a barn when they actually did decide to shoot.

I can't imagine how frustrated Pittsburgh fans are watching this.

I can tell you exactly how they feel. 95 finals against the Devils! It could be a good thing for them down the road though as if they learn from the mistakes they made it'll make them that much better. That's if the Wings get #4 in the next 3 games!!
 
This series is O-V-E-R.

I cannot fathom why Therrien hasn't stapled Malkin's butt to the bench. Any one who floats around like that shouldn't be playing. But he's not the only floater on that team right now. And Zetterberg just owns Crosby right now.

I could dress as the 6th defenseman tomorrow night and Detroit will still win.
 
I saw this today while browsing the web, and I have to say the first thing I thought of was this series lol

I think so too. They will be highly motivated to close it out on home ice and I think Babcock will have a near perfect game plan in place to help these chances. No disrespect to the Pens, they have achieved a great season and are set up to have more in the future. They are an exciting team to watch who have evolved defensively to be a contender. I am disheartened to remember the Flyers will have to face them many more times in the coming years. It was much nicer when they were struggling.

The Wings are unreal. They've been taking it to the Pens all 3rd Period. It's been borderline ridiculous! What a team!
 
What a game this has been,

maybe best of the playoffs,

Fleury has earned himself a huge contract in this game, he's been unbelievable.

Malkin also looks like he's finally ready to go...but is it too late?
 
Intermission after the first overtime... I think the best story that could be woven here is for Dan Cleary to get the overtime Cup winner.
First Newfoundlander to win the Cup and by scoring it, he's sure to have a statue of him erected in St. John's...

What about it Dean?

Michael.

Malkin? He's been nothing short of BRUTAL in this game and this series. He's a giveaway machine!

Fleury has been outstanding! Somewhere Kendall is smiling from ear to ear :D
 
I'm gonna cal it - the golden boy steps up and gives the NHL what it really wants - A crosby ad campagn with some teeth, starring a clutch 3OT winner, and I'll throw in that it'll be pretty.
