The only bad news is that the Wings have to wait before they get the Stanley Cup.

Yeah...but it's not at home.

Canes is right; TX is CDT, which is 1 hour behind EDT.

Anyway, by the time I got home, ate dinner, showered, etc. and turned on the TV, the 2nd OT was just about to start. I watched it from there until the end. Kudos to NBC for not going to any commercial breaks during an OT period. That is just awesome. Congrats to Pittsburgh for hitting that power play goal that made this series a lot more competitive. Double kudos to former Devil Sykora for calling his shot. Game 6 on Wed. night in PA. Go Penguins!

You guys are more hardy than I am. The cats pooped out after the first overtime; I threw it in after the second.

Go Wings.

Thanks for the correction, beowulf. For some reason I always want to put Texas in Rocky Mountain time. Duh! And you'd think I'd know better 'cuz I used to live there!

I was so disgusted, I got up this morning and cut my hair! Please don't ask me to explain that rationale. At least they didn't lose on DS2's birthday. That was good of them to wait and lose on the third! LOL

My man, Ozzie, was having a bad night. Hope he gets it together before game 6.

That's OK. TX is so big, I'm surprised it doesn't have all 4 mainland USA time zones.

Got any before and after pics of your haircut?

Osgood didn't play great, but he made some good stops. Fleury was awesome.

I'm just glad it wasn't Crosby that got the winning goal. Too bad the Devils still don't have Sykora.

The RW guy who committed the high stick foul in the 3rd OT is probably feeling like crap.

Last night's game was officially the 5th longest in Stanley Cup history.

That was Hudler I believe. And I bet he feels a little weight on him. Though he had some fantastic plays last night.

I'm so sick of the announcers getting all giddy about the Penguins. Commentary last night about now how it was 'old legs vs. young legs'. Look at how the Red Wings POUNDED Fuery last night. He was the only reason the Pens stayed in through those first 2 OT's. In my NSHO.

You mean FLEURY?

What a game!!!! I went to bed after the end of the 2nd OT. Couldnt believe my eyes when I checked NHL.com this morning for the results. GO PENS!

[Adrian71]

AUUUUUUUUUGH!

We were 35 seconds away from hoisting the Cup! Thirty-five seconds!!!!!

What a series this has turned out to be. I'm drained. I made it to the end last night ... and at one point, I half-expected to see Brett Hull score a goal in his Stars jersey, with his foot in the crease.

Poor Hudler. What a stupid mistake, but I can't fault him. Someone was bound to goof up, and that man advantage was all the Pens needed. Kudos to Fleury ... and to a beat-up Pens team for showing a lot of heart. I see this one going to game 7.

C'mon, Wings!!!!!
