I didn't stay up to watch and just saw the highlights this morning...
But it looked like a great ending to a great game. Good job Penguins!

Yeah!! Marc Andre was standing on his head to make some of those saves.... Kept the Penns in the game..... Gonchar went out after getting crunched bad but came back for the 3rd overtime to help and having a 4 minute power play because one of the Red Wings drew blood on a high sticking doesn't hurt either....
I was so wired that I stayed up till 3 am watching Top Gear on BBC America...

I am so tired - I didn't fall asleep until 2am. I got up at 8 - I am too old to go on 6 hours of sleep.
With all due respect, Detroit got a few CRAPPY penalties - including the two interferance penalties that they did not deserve.
Notice how the officials can't look at themselves when Crosby cries like a baby - he needs to learn that a true leader doesn't whine.
Wednesday 8pm be there or be square.
Detroit is going to put this series to bed.

Hey... Hit the goalie and go to the box!!! lol
And the checking rules are.... if you check someone wrongly in the first and second periods and get caught you go to the box... If you check some one wrongly in the third and get seen by a ref.... maybe you go to the box... In OT... anything goes except if you cut someone and they bleed...

I want to add to the checking rules:
If you check someone in game one, you get watched in game two.
Then they give you a penalty in game three for good measure.
I liked that the officials let the game go on without too many penalties.
I saw lots of trips and elbows, but it made the game more fun to watch.
And when blood is drawn, then you know it is more then just a game!

You have to admit the wings were really hitting it hard in the third period, they were really relentless. Tying it up in the last 34 secs, AHHHHHH. The champagne was already chilled!
Oh well there's always Wednesday. We'll see....

You can hit any where as long as the player you hit... has or just had the puck.. usually... Open ice hit's are harder than on the boards but Kromwall is a master of taking people out... Darius Kasperitus was also great at blind siding forwards especially if they looked down for a second... Keep you head up and stick on the ice....

When a check occurs away from the boards, it can be spectaculer.
Scott Stevens retired from the New Jersey Devils. He was the master at taking his opponents out!
As Karren said, the opponent has to have possession of the puck, or just got rid of it. If a check occures well after the puck was passed, the checker will be facing a penalty - interferance maybe.
If the checker throws a check, his skates have to be on the ice. If not, this could be a penalty like charging.
You know Darla, by this time next year you will be a pro. We'll be calling you hockey girl!

Ya know there is only one thing sweeter than winning the cup - it's winning the cup in your opponents arena!
My apologies, it was a gallant effort but not quite - good luck Penguins next year. Yer gonna need it when Toronto kicks yer asses!!!
You can't keep a good octopi down - way to go Detroit - this year.
Next year, Toronto is gonna kick yer asses too.

What happened? I was at my nephews graduation ceremony and couldn't watch the game.
Ok, I just saw some high-lights and it looked like a good game. The Penguins are a young team and they'll be even better next year, you watch!
Sorry Karen, Wings have the 11th Stanley Cup which is third most after the Montreal Canadiens and the The Toronto Maple Leafs, not bad company.
I wish I could go down to Hockytown tonight, but I've got work and go to school tomorrow.
