Stanley Cup Finals - Game 6 [Open Thread]

In Pittsburgh at 8:00 p.m.
Watch on NBC, Yahoo! or listen live on WXDX.com.
NOTES
It's been a quick day and a half since the last meeting. A day and a half where the Detroit media has called Pittsburgh lucky, Red Wings fans unfortunate and the sport of hockey a beneficiary to an exciting series. Much to their credit though, they've certainly given credit to MAF. Now the Pens need him to step it up to an all new level tonight (scary thought) with hopes of sending the series back to Detroit for Game 7.
Rosters remain the same; Malone and Gonchar are both in for Pitt.

Why would Malone not be in? The puck hit his nose, everyone plays after that…

It cleared any question – he’s broken his nose twice this series. I just figured it was worth mentioning in case there was any doubt.

Time to see if this series goes to a seventh game or if the Red Wings clinch the Cup in Pittsburgh. Either way, I hope as many fans tune in to NBC as possible to watch this very entertaining series.

A buddy of mine in North Carolina actually IMd me today saying Game 5 was the greatest hockey game he’s ever seen. Granted he doesn’t really watch much hockey, but it was still cool to hear.

depends on who he was rooting for...
BUT… yes, I agree that was one of the most memorable games I’ve seen quite a while. It had “future classic” written all over it. Note I said “future” because I don’t believe in the concept of “instant classics” because that makes no sense.

I believe we talked about this
Roy was a big diver because he felt he had to but if you watched any Sabres games this season, and you admitted that you didn’t, you would know that he had the best season of his career and he was definitely not a diver. If he did I would call a spade a spade and I wouldn’t stick up for him when he is a blatant diver. I used to get extremely upset when Hasek pulled that crap in Buffalo. I am a Sabres fan but I am hockey fan more than anything.

Honestly
The officiating has been disgraceful in this game. They are letting things go that should be never let go and some of the calls that have been made are weak at best. It’s really a shame because the NHL had a bunch of momentum after that game the other day but if I was a casual fan I would probably turn this off because it doesn’t make sense. It’s been truly disgraceful.

That Was Just
A terrible first period by the Penguins.
Malkin continues to be awful, they can’t clear the puck away let alone get 2 passes together, and are quite lucky to be down 1-0.
The fact that on a 5 on 3 the Wings were getting to the puck before they were is troubling.

UN-FUCKING-BELIEVABLE. You still don’t think you have the advantage with the calls? Honestly?

Oh my goodness.
I asked someone to identify which was a pile of garbage and which was the shooting of the Seattle Sonics....he failed.

the weirdest ending to a Cup clincher...
Holy crap, that was almost the tying goal. What an end to a dramatic final few minutes.
Congrats to the Red Wings. As much as I resent very deeply for the Penguins’ knocking out the Rangers, congrats to them for a fine season.
