They still gotta win one in Detroit with it's boomeranging boards.

We'll see.

Exciting game, though- that was the type of game I was expecting there would be a lot of this series.

Let's hope it continues.

Musta been a great game -- some of us were still yelling "We winned!" long after others of us got home from two meetings and a trip to the grocery store.

No, not Yeti.

Sorry- too many Pitsburgh disappointments over the past nearly two decades to make me drink the Kool-Aid.

Pirates- NLCS losses from 1990-92...and '92 ripped my heart out (DAMN you, Barry Bonds! You couldn't even put a throw on target to nail Sid Bream- a guy with NO KNEES?!?!?!?!?!?)

Steelers- every year under Bill Cowher until '05. His team lost to the Chargers- the friggin' San Diego Chargers- in an AFCCG.

Penguins- lost to the Islanders in 1993 after having won the President's Trophy, and the to the Florida Panthers- the friggin' Florida Panthers- in 1996.

I'd rather be pessimistic and be pleasantly surprised rather than the other way around now!

I would rather watch a hockey game like that one, where I don't have any team to root for, than nearly any pro basketball game. I watched the first five minutes of the Celtics-Pistons last night. I turned over to the hockey game after one player (don't know who, and don't know which team) collected a rebound, dribbled into the halfcourt with his entire team setting up, and with 18 seconds left on the 24-second clock, stopped and put up a 3-pointer.

If I wanted to see a game of HORSE, I'd stop by the local playground. PLAY THE GAME AS A TEAM AND STOP BEING SO SELFISH!!!! You want the game to be exciting again? Change the rules so three-pointers don't exist until the last five minutes of the game. Teams will have to play as teams for the entire game, assists will go up, and play will get interesting again. Shooting from long range when you don't have to should not be rewarded.

exactly - which, in my book, makes you a bad fan.

Not a bad person, a bad fan.

A very exciting game.

Entertaining and fun to watch.

best game by far I have watched this playoff cycle. The Wings have played together for so long and are so fast, they remind me of the Soviets of the seventies, and they have something different this year -- they used to sometimes assume the playoff games would go like regular season against St. Louis and Chicago, and they could mail it in. Not this year. So, As BDM said, in response, intensity on every shift, and then when Sid gets the puck, a balance is attained.

. NB the series is finishing several weeks ahead of last year, and does not have the skating thtough the primeval swamp they called ice at Anaheim, which killed the Sens.

ha! I was tellin apeboy that they looked like the old Russkie teams from their Evil Empire days.

I yelled at Sid and told him that he was always the best player on the ice, aand had to do the breaking thru.
Before his goal, everyone was playing tentative and like they dint want to be the one who made a mistake instead of the one who made the big play.After his second goal, the rest of the team found their courage.It is difficult to find your courage the first time you play the best team in the finals.
Hopefully they can keep it.

a detroit newshack said the Sens lost because the West is a Vastly superior conference.
