Elvis Is Going Back to the Burgh!!

vs.

Sykora Nets the Winner while Bugsy puts his nose in the way again

Classic Game 5. Has to rank as one of if not the best games in Pens history.

Hop in the Cordoba, Get in the Fast Lane, or Get Down to Archie's on Carson St for Game 6!!

Notes & Links:

  • Talbot's goal with 34.3 seconds left was the latest goal scored in regulation in a Stanley Cup Final game by a team facing elimination.
  • The Cup has been won on a goal that went further into OT: Brett Hull's skate in the crease goal that won the Cup for Dallas in 1999.
  • Things That Made Me Smile This Morning:
    • From the Grand Rapids Press: "Get Ready for a Championship Parade Detroit!"
    • From the PG:
      "With a little less than six minutes left in the third period, workers rushed down a large corridor of Joe Louis Arena pushing carts of champagne on ice.

      Elsewhere in the bowels of the building, the Stanley Cup was receiving a final white-glove polish."

    • Paul Kukla wonders if that was the worst loss in Detroit history.
  • Game 6 is on.
