^ Isn't it going to be more like 120 minutes soon?
It's certainly beginning to look like this series could be similar to the Pens' 5-game loss to Ottawa in the first round last year; a signal that the Penguins will need to turn it up another level next year.
Not giving up on them yet, though!

It is beginning to look like the 83 Oilers for Pittsburgh. On the cusp (they made it to the final) but not yet ready for primetime. While I'd really like to see the Habs win next year to cap off their 100th anniversary, as a secondary outcome, I wouldn't mind a re-match of this year to see if the (expected) defeat in the final will have forged a stronger team in Pittsburgh. But it isn't over yet.
Well, I don't know if I'll get to use Game 6 (even if it is played), but at least I've got Game 3.
It may look bad at the moment, but just think back to 2 or 3 years ago. The team was hopeless, doomed to move, and hadn't made the playoffs in years. And now... they're in the frelling Cup finals and in Pittsburgh for years to come.
Damn.

Their defeat last year in the first round did.
I'm somewhat underwhelmed by this year's playoffs - most series seem to be finishing in 4 or 5 games.
I'm glad Pittsburgh won. It at least extends the series an extra game. Hopefully they can tie up the series on Saturday in Game 4.
I just want to see something good in this series. So far it hasn't started that great and for the sake of just being a hockey fan, there is nothing better than a game 6 or 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. The last few years have actually been quite good so hopefully the streak continues.
Good to see the Pens back in fighting form. 
For all those who insult the loyalty of Pens fans:
At least OUR arena was full, unlike a certain "Hockeytown" currently playing in the Stanley Cup finals.
(Just kidding. I like Detroit fans. The ones we've had in Pittsburgh have been pretty fun and good natured. )

Yup. I chose the right team to cheer for.For all those who insult the loyalty of Pens fans:

Go full arenas!
This is terrible.

Luc Bourdon has died in a motorcycle accident. He was a promising pick, 10th overall, for the Vancouver Canucks.
RIP.

Nope. Sad 
And tragic. But why not sports cars too and airplanes? Or limos? Accidents happen in each type of vehicle in sports.

True. But IIRC, the 82 Oilers suffered that kind of opening round defeat to LA (not a crushing defeat, but an unexpected one) and then the 83 Oilers lost in the final to the veteran Isles before going on to establishing the last true hockey dynasty (four of five, five of seven).
I'm not counting Pittsburgh out. But even a defeat should not be too discouraging as the fundamentals in Pittsburgh are more solid than they were in Tampa and Carolina (two other teams that rose swiftly through the ranks)--Pittsburgh won't emulate them after their Cup Final appearances.
What a shame.
They just had a moment of silence for him at the Chicago / Wilkes-Barre Calder Cup game.
Just found out about this myself and am shocked...what a sad, horrible ordeal for that family to go through, Luc was only 21 years old. He was set to be the Canucks fourth or fifth defensemen next season.
Detroit might need to give up the Hockeytown title if they can't fill their arena for a potential Cup clinching game
