That was unbelievable! So far, almost all the playoff OTs have been short-lived. Should be a good one.
Like I said, sloppy lazy play especially on the power play. Shameful really, this game should be over now.

Your right and the announcers at the time mentioned that the Pens can't just lay back on the PP ...
This brings back playoff memories of the Wings playing double-OT games out West for many years.
Yup, except it's not 2 am now.
Wings are gonna love the East, looks like theres much more room on the ice in this Pens/Sens series.
Maybe Pittsburgh but otherwise no imo
Not after last night's game. I mean one game loss does not mean they are falling apart...but that was a surefire game for Pittsburgh to win and they blew it. Man, this is some playoff season, eh?
Well, since Chicago is tied at 1-1 in their series with Detroit, they may not be the powerhouse of the West. To be honest, I think more people would concede that Chicago will face Pittsburgh for the Stanley Cup. However, in this age of parity there are no dominants teams in the league come playoff time; there is very little separation from top-to-bottom, 1 through 8.
Chicago is talented and deep. While Detroit may be in a retooling phase, their team of younger players are peaking - started in mid-April. Additionally, the Wings are tied in their series with Chicago, they have played them tough all season (despite the SO losses in regular season), and they know the team very well. Although unlikely, don't count out the Red Wings from this series.
Pittsburgh is playing well and should/could be up 3-0 in their series with Ottawa. They appear to have the inside track to winning the Eastern Division. Conversely, Boston just keeps winning. I don't think their team is that good...but they're playing with confidence and that may be enough. Elsewhere, the Kings look pretty darn good too. They play the kind of physical hard-hitting game that could drive Chicago nuts if they can get past San Jose. Also, San Jose can win it all...if they can work past their demons.
Botton line: I don't think we'll see (m)any powerhouse teams in the NHL, and everyone from 1-8 has a legitimate opportunity when it comes to the playoffs.
So, will Detroit come out playing with confidence and intensity after having split the first two games in Chicago, or will the Blackhawks turn the tables and show why they were the league's best team during the regular season? Game 2 at The Joe should be a good one. I'm psyched!!!
Go Wings!!!
Go Wings!!!
We're scoreless after one period of play. Chicago started the game by carrying the action in Detroit's zone, but the Wings had their moments later in the period. Plenty of scoring opportunities, but solid netminding. Great game so far.
2 goals about :30 seconds apart !!!
Lots of time left in this period, well see how the rest of the period unfolds.
