One of the Greatest Games Ever

The Game had everything. Hard Hits, Gonchar gets hit, slams head first in to the boards and doesn't come back until the final play of the game that sets up the game winner in the 3rd overtime period. Malone stopped a puck with his face earlier, he already had a broken nose from the 1st game, sucks it up and never misses a beat. The Red Wing fans were crying "bring us the cup" till Maxime Talbot scored with 34 seconds left in regulation. Sykora gets the game winner. Most of all it was Marc-Andre Fleury who stopped 55 shots on goal (thats unheard of) and made some of the greatest saves. Penguins still down 3-2 in games. Pens play here in Pittsburgh Wednesday night. It's gonna go 7 games folks.
