ECSF Game 5: Penguins - 3, Rangers - 2 (OT)

At this year's trade deadline, Penguins GM Ray Shero made a bold move in acquiring superstar winger, Marian Hossa. It was a move many labeled risky. Tonight showed why that move was a great one. Hossa scored two goals, including the series-winner in overtime. The Rangers had their backs against the wall and played hard, but the Penguins were able to weather the storm and pepper Lundqvist with shots. Although the Pens won this series in 5 games, it was a lot harder than the length suggested. Give credit to the Rangers, they were a great team and played hard. They gave the Penguins a fight every night. It just so happened that the better team prevailed. Congratulations, Penguins. You are going to the Eastern Conference Finals!

8 wins down, 8 to go!
