3-2 Penguins...this is the game we've been looking forward to..?

Question

What a game! So many great plays and scoring chances! Fleury played unbelievable and crosby had 2 great goals. Im glad the Wings made it close, i didnt wanna lose bad!

Thoughts and opinions on game 3? Game 4 predictions?

Answer 1

If you don't want Pens bragging on your question, then don't post one right after they've won. 80% of the regulars here despise the Pens, so put up with it for the time being.

Oh, and yes that was by far the most exciting game of the series. Non-stop action the entire third period. Great hockey!

Answer 2

Great game tonight, back and forth action, I was at the edge of my seat the whole night.

The Red Wings looked like a good team tonight and not the juggernaut that ran through the West and The Penguins looked like an NHL team and not the ECHL team in games 1 and 2

Answer 3

you ask for everyones thoughts and you throw a fit when a pens fan gives you theirs, i hate the pens too but come on, if you wanna cry about everything get yourself a pens jersey and whine with the rest of them...i thought it was a great game really fun to watch which means a lot because i hate seeing pitt win.

Answer 4

hats off to the pens who gave me a reality check tonight! LOL... d**n them but... a great game!

is it saturday yet?!?!?!

Answer 5

Even though  I am a pens fan i would not care if detroit won in game 7 and every game was like this

Answer 6

I don't understand the pissed off comment....

The comments I read by the Pens fans were mostly respectful of how exciting and close game 3 was.  Of course they are happy that not only did the Pens win, but just that they finally scored!!

I was afraid these long awaited cup games were all going to be a snooze-fest (except to the Wings fans) to the average hockey fan.

Answer 7

i was pretty pissed off at the score. i bet pittsburg's going to win again on sat.

Answer 8

Finally a good game! I think the Penguins will win Game 4 because they know that it is a near impossible to win in the Joe during the SCF. I say Penguins take all the road games in the series...maybe Game 7...but that'd be a longshot.

Answer 9

Great game, Wings had some close almost-goals too, but there were some stupid turnovers as well.

My prediction?  I don't know what the score will be, but I'm sensing that the Wings will win this one.

Answer 10

it was a great game! fleury was great! i love the pens and i don't want to be a pessimist but it was a close game too, at the mellon arena too.

Answer 11

Pitts played better, but I am still putting this series to DET.

Det had a lot of turnovers, some soft goals, weak powerplay and a lot of missed nets and still barely loss.

Crosby had two goals, the kid cant score when he has to face the Zetterburg/Dats line. He is avoiding it now with home ice, but he (and therefore, the pitts offense) is just shut down in DET with the second line change for home team.

(I believe his first goal was when the zetterburg line was out, but it was a horrible turnover by stuart and weak goal by osgood)

I put det at 5, maybe 6.

Answer 12

This game definitely lived up to the hype.  I was only disappointed at the Wings' poor passing from the 2nd period on.  Too many dumb turnovers.  But I'm glad we didn't get dominated like the Pens did at the Joe.  Makes me glad that Pitt's going to have to work EXTRA hard in order to take game 4.  Maybe a blessing in disguise for a game 5 SC victory?  Exciting game nevertheless.

Answer 13

i'm glad we won. Something tells me there won't be many Wings fans bragging tomorrow like the other two games. Good game by both teams. Sorry but Pittsburgh will win Saturday too.

Answer 14

Yeah it was a good game. That's what they are supposed to be.

Detroit will hoist the cup at 1500 Civic center after game five........Good game by both clubs tonight.

Answer 15

Fleury was Great tonight, and as a Wings fan, I got a small taste of what the Pens fans have had to deal with in games one and two, when Ozzie was practically bullet-proof.  Crosby and the Pens are finally playing the kind of hockey that brought them this far. I still think the Wings will take game 4, They have a better idea what to expect in Mellon now. Maybe just a tiny bit complacent after two walk-away wins at home, they'll come back kicking ***, wait and see.

Answer 16

Roberts gets away w/ so much ****, it's not even funny. Wings could've and probably should've won if they capitalized on their opportunities (Stuart in front of the net, Holmstrom's missed wide-open net). GO WINGS!!

Answer 17

I'm pleased with game 3...the Pens that I knew came out to play...I just hope the continue to play like this.

Answer 18

As a Wings fan I was very mad.

As a hockey fan in general I was very happy.

Answer 19

Hi,

the third was amazing!!

i figured the pens would win one at home, and hopefully that's it.

go WINGS!!!!!

Wings in 5

Answer 20

the pens finally showed up and the next game should be even more exciting.  i predict another one goal game but possibly a two goal game b/c of an empty netter and i hope its the pens on top with a tied series back to detriot.  LETS GO PENS

Answer 21

now that is playoff hockey. that third period stretch what about 5 minutes without a whistle, back and forth. whew! didn't like the outcome but a great game.  LET'S GO RED WINGS!

Answer 22

Great to see a competitive match up.  Stuarts turnover that led to the 1st goal looked more like something LIlja would do.  All in all though, it was a really entertaining game.

Answer 23

they scored three lucky goals, it's that simple

Crosby was just there, and the puck was free for him to shoot, and it sneaked threw Osgood, the second he had an empty net after Osgood made two good saves

Hall's goal was lucky too, he just bounced it off Osgood, it could have gone anywhere

then look at Franzen's goal, that was another good Wings goal, he walked through the defence and beat Fleury from close in

Samuelsson's was good too, but he was a little lucky that (i think it was) Orpik screened the goalie

game 4 - another good one!

Answer 24

Yeah!! i was waiting for the first pittsburg goal and i got it! it was an intense game and maybe a sign that thsis series is goin to game 7. overall great job both teams!

Answer 25

great game, close game, fast paced, great scoring chances on both ends, lots of posts, lots of skill. loved to watch it, it had me on the edge of my seat, glad the pens came out on top in this one. but i do think  this was a great game for the sport with the speed and the hits.  hopefully hockey got a few new fans tonight

and no prediction for game four, at this point who knows but the pens definitely gained some confidence tonight.   GO PENS!

Answer 26

hmm, unfortunately my life interrupted for this game, so i only saw the first period, and from what i saw, i gotta admit Pitts. played better today...but it was a close game.

as for game 4 predictions?  hmmm, hard to say...i say, wings 2-1
