Game 5 disaster. What does game 6 hold?




Game 5 was a disaster for the Pittsburgh Penguins and their fans. The Pens outplayed the Lightning for much of the first period, but were unable to score on many of their oppurtuities.

Then the Lightning started crashing the net and scoring at will. Marc-Andre Fleury allowed four goals and was pulled. Brent Johnson didn't do much better as he also allowed four.

The Pens defense was horrid, getting beat often and allowing the Lightning to on the front of the net.

A scary thing for the Pens and their fans is the possible awakening of Simon Gagne and Steven Stamkos, who were almost unstoppable in Game 5.

I am confidnent that the Pens will win Game 6 in Tampa and avoid a Game 7 back in Pittsburgh. I expect the Pens to come out fast and physical, and to own the puck for much of the game.

I also expect Marc-Andre Fleury to have a big game, making a lot of big saves, and proving once again that he's absolutley money when the Pens need him to be.
