These refs stink!!!!! They let a tripping call go when the Wings have a power play, but call one on a check when the player is gliding (charging is 3-4 strides into the player, if a player is gliding when away from the intended hit it is not a penalty. Anyone wishing to object can go to the icing calls in a game and see when a player touching up gets hit.

yep us hockey fans in detroit sure liked the turn out of this game. all that poise and intensity of the pens sure took over that game....so much so that osgood got a great confidance building shut out! however now that the young'uns know what the finals are all about and are done tripping on themselves....(fleury) they'll come out harder monday but with this huge confidance builder under their belt i cant see them mustering much. GO WINGS!!!!

Yes the Pens gained some experience in these playoffs, however just like last season they now are entering unchartered territory as the Finals are definitely another level then the 1st 3 rds. Last season the Pens went out immediately as they entered an unknown (the playoffs) this season they made the adjustments. The finals will find them experiencing a much different level and also the first time they open on the road, without the comforts of home. How will they react to coming home down 2-0? And none of the teams they played so far have the depth and completeness of the Wings, this is a team that matches the Pens all over the ice and in some areas are better, such as defense.

Pen fans are everywhere here! This Burgh is rockin with hockey fever. we've got the most exciting team in the playoffs there's no question. Can't wait for the wings to get a dose of young guns. Wings look good, but those penguins are relentless. It's going to be great
