What a game! That was so intense! Game of the Year candidate right there! And guess what, folks? The Pittsburgh Penguins have finally showed up. With the energy of the Mellon Arena crowd behind them, they answered the bell and struck back against the Red Wings. Coming into this game, Detroit simply looked invincible. Tonight, the Penguins proved that they aren't. Not only did the Penguins show that they can play with the Red Wings, they can beat them. It wasn't easy though. They had to fight for everything. Sidney Crosby showed tonight why he is the face of the league and the best player in the world. Hossa was great with him. The Malkin line finally looked visible. Brooks Orpik was a beast all over the ice. Darryl Sydor, in his first game of the playoffs, didn't look out of place and provided much help on the attack. Fleury was solid in net. This is how you play Detroit. Speed across the neutral zone, finish your checks, and keep throwing the puck on net. Do not relent! Also, it's a great idea to get the first goal. Detroit can't clamp down on defense if they're trailing. Take this win to heart boys. Learn from it. Build on it. We're back in the series. We still have a shot at the Cup!
13 wins down, 3 to go!
