Pens Tie Series

After Detroit stormed out of the gate with back to back 3-1 wins, Pittsburgh came back with two dominating performances at the Igloo to tie it. The Wings are being exploited for their weak penalty kill, and Malkin is running amok. The Wings need Datsyuk back, and fast.

This series is going to come down to two things: 1) who wins a road game, as that team will have a huge edge, and 2) who wins Game 6. Clearly, if the team that wins Game 5 wins Game 6, the series is over (duh). However, I get the feeling that if Game 6 is won by the team down 3-2, then that team will still win the series. I worded that incredibly poorly.

The NHL is guaranteed two more games on NBC, which is great for league publicity. The last three games of this series will be a dogfight, and it will be great to watch. You should tune in if you have the chance.

    I’m a hockey fan, but honestly, I am not finding myself watching the finals. With the Yanks in full swing, it’s just not really on my radar.

    I’m watching it, hockey is just more exciting for me. When the Finals are over, I’ll get into my Yankee swing of things.
