Game 5

I have to say that I thought the Penguins were going to win tonight. Obviously, I thought this before the second period started.

They sucked.

The game sucked.

Nothing went right.

We had all the giveaways, they had all the takeaways.

Fleury got pulled -- by the way, I always think it's a mistake to change goalies. I don't care if Fleury's replacement was much more successful. It was 5-0 at that point. Anyone would have been successful, because Detroit wasn't interested in scoring, they were only interested in getting out of there without any injuries.

The good news is that they can't carry over goals from this game to the next one.

The good news is that we're at home.

The good news is that the Red Wings pretty much murdered the idea of momentum that I thought was so important heading into this game. Lets' throw some dirt on that idea. And dance on its grave. And spray paint "Red Wings SUCK" on the head stone. Let's do that for Game 6.

Coming into this game, I was angry about the three day layoff between games. Now, I'm happy. Let's take this time to fix what went wrong. Let's take this time to re-group. Let's take this time to let whatever momentum the Red Wings built in Game 5 dissolve.

Let's calm down, forget about what happened tonight, and move on.

Shall we?

Please?

There's no amount of beer that will wipe this game from my memory banks. However, I'll try. And I'll wake up tomorrow. And Monday. And Tuesday.

And, come Tuesday night... LET'S GO PENS!

That's all we've got at this point. God help us, we're hoping for a Game 7 in Detroit.
