Puckhead's Thoughts
The Red Wings and the Penguins skated to a 3rd overtime thriller and it looks like we have a couple more days of the season left. The Pens won to force a game 6 back in Pittsburgh.

The Red Wings are now up in the series 3 games to 1. The Penguins scored first on the power play, a goal from from Marian Hossa. Lidstrom was able to tie it up. The Pens seemed to back off in the first, only throwing 9 shots at Chris Osgood.
The second period was extremely boring, or maybe I just had too much on my mind. Whatever the case, no goals were scored, no fights happened, and ...
