Pens Win Game 5 in Detroit!!!!!

Last night, the Pens played a hell of a game. Marc Andre Fleury was phenominal! Yes, he "allowed" 3 goals by Detroit, but, that stat doesn't tell you how incredible he was during the game. He stopped over 50 shots. I think t he actual number was 58 shots on goal for Detoit, with 3 scoring. The Pens had about half (32)that many with 4 scoring. Can you say more effective shooting?
The Pens started out winning in t he 1st 2-0. The Wings came back and tied it. Then they went ahead 3-2. With 30+ seconds left in the 3rd period, Max Talbot stuffed one in the net to tie the score. Here we go to overtime! And a second overtime! Fleury was incredible in these two OT periods! Then, we go into the 3rd OT period. They are skating like sharks on a feeding frenzy! Then Wham! Rob Scuderi get caught in the face by one of Wings' sticks. He was later interviewed and said he prayed there was blood. There was. And lots of it! the Wings had to serve a 4 minute minor for the incident. With the Pens being composed, it seemed, they were patient and just pounded the Wings' end of the ice. In a beatifully set up play, Petr Sykora dumps the puck in the net for the win! It was a great game, bu I wish we could score 5 goals and then let Fleury play like he did last night! He was so awesome. But they all were. Gonshar took a nasty header into the boards and it really rung his bell. Ryan (Bugsy) Malone took a puck to the face that was a line drive of a shot from Detroit and it sent him into next week. And broke his nose again. 2 broken noses on the same player in the same playoff series! Imagine! Then Scuderi got his chin and upper lip cut. They looked liked they were on the wrong end of a boxing match instead of playing hockey. Phenominal Hockey.
So, we come back to the Burgh for game 6. We need to win this one. Then another win in Detroit will get the cup to Pittsburgh. One game at a time.................LET'S GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
