The Penguins had their chances in the first and third periods, but it was the middle frame that killed them in an embarrassing 5-0 romping at the hands of the Detroit Red Wings. The Red Wings now have a 3-2 series lead and an opportunity to close the series out on Tuesday night at Mellon Arena. The Pens, of course, must win to stay alive and force a Game 7 at "The Joe".
Dan Cleary, Valterri Filppula, Niklas Kronwall, Brian Rafalski, and Henrik Zetterberg lit up Marc-Andre Fleury before Mathieu Garon took over between the pipes. The Penguins had some quality scoring chances but were always either denied by Chris Osgood or fired off the net.
Notes-
-This series is far from over.
-The Igloo better get loud for Game 6.
-Datsyuk looked good.
-Crosby and Malkin were terrible both in terms of failure to control emotion and production.
-Fleury's head better get right, and fast.
Go Penguins.
It ain't over yet.

amen to that, john.
one last thing: start garon. it'll be a win, and flower will be rested for game 7.
we've only seen garon take over for fleury in a game, and never start. so we have NO idea if he can handle it, but i think he can. he played great tonight, and all the other nights he's taken over. so yeah. put in garon.
I want some of whatever you're smoking if you would play Mathieu Garon over Marc-Andre Fleury.
11 Finals games vs. a period and a half. Hmmmmmmmm.
That would be stupid and it would get Bylsma's ass fired right away.
