Crosby took over the game, unless they can get Orr, Gretzky and Lemeiux out of the grave this game is over.

I’m thrilled with the play of the Penguins so far.

It’s a lot better on my nerves, that’s for sure!

My nerves are better, too.

Yes, it would take a lot of the guys in that commercial to give the Preds a chance in the 3rd, and even then it might not be enough.

My nerves are calm now too. I want them to sit all the big guns, close this out and go for the kill in game six.

Even though I would have wanted to rest the big guns, I’m glad Geno made a statement there.

All the big guns made a statement today. The Pens have a chance to close it out. FUN TIMES.

Great game!

I’m off to bed. Good night all!

Crosby should be suspended. Banging someone’s head repeatedly on the ice and then because they won’t call him with anything, he throws a water bottle on the ice from the bench. How anyone can defend his actions is baffling.

I have tickets for game 7, don’t make me use ‘em (too much stress!).

It deserves to go 7, but the Pens tend to close these things out on the road, for whatever reason.

We shall see.

This game might go to over time. I'm hoping both teams are firing on all cylinders.

That would be a nail-biter, to be sure.

I agree: It would be great to see both teams, and both goalies, at their best.

That is why the Pens' previous series had such appeal, because they got some really good play consistently from their opponents.

Those were nerve-wracking times!

Mine too.

Given how things went in Games 3-4, I'll take this 0-0 though at the end of 1.

Crosby tripped to end the period. I do hate NHL officiating. I’m not liking Guentzel/Sheary so far. They are a little late to read plays.

Also not liking all the country stars given air time. I’d rather hear about hockey.
