If gary roberts would have kicked osgood in the face with his skate while they were both laying on the ice, would you be SCREAMING for some kind of call?



The kick was after the whistle, as we have seen from Crosby after whisle infractions do not get a call   :-\

But all bickering aside both teams played great.  The Refs are terrable but they have been this entire round.  I am just saying that because that is what I
obsurbed.  I am not trying to take anything away from the Pens goal, they earned it, and the power p was legit, or make ANY excuses for the Wings loosing.

I caught the 2nd OT and the 3rd last night.

Great, great hockey played by both teams.  Either team that won last night game should be proud of thier accomplishment.

From what I saw detroit played much better last night.  Fleury did play well though.  I would like to see pittsburgh win, but they won't

If it weren't for Fleury's great play, this series would've been a laugher.

The Wings were head and shoulders better.  The Pens made a TON of stupid mental errors that cost them dearly.  If they had played smarter and been better on the forecheck they might've had a chance, but the better team won - no doubt about it.

the pens were also the obviously younger and less experienced team on the ice... so... props to them for making a series out of it following the absolute clinics put on in games one and two. I even thought it was going to end in four.

and of course, the obligatory tip o'the hat to the third best team in stanley cup history  ;)

I wouldn't say the wings were head and shoulders better. Both were stanley cup finals teams, easily. Everyone played great, but the Wings' puck control was just out of this world. Then Pens need to work on puck possession and passing big time. They are better than most, but not better than the wings in that aspect. Fleury will be one of the greats. Next year.

Fleury will be one of the greats.

Or he will be another John Vanbiesbrouck, great for the Cup, not so much later on.   Only time will tell.
