Hello my name is Sarah and I am a scared rabbit! I admit it, I didn't see the Wings game tonight because I was afraid to. What little I saw of the wings in the last game, they looked tired.So when I was late tuning into NBC and the wings were upi 1-0, I changed the channel so fast it was f I never even left my movie.So when it was about 10:30,after my movie, I went to ESPN News to check the score. 5-0!! What? I was glad. I wasn't mad that I had missed a barn burner of a game. I was just happy The Wings were back to their dominant selves. The cherry on the icing of this cake is the kids were playing together again on the same line! #13 and #40 back together again. I didn't miss Pavel but The Wings did.He had a few assists they tell me and he skated well. He gave The Wings that boost they surely needed.Thank G-d!so now Tuesday night is game 6, In Pittsburgh. Yikes! This fraidy cat may just try to watch period 1.I just remembered that last years game 6 I couldn't see. Why? We had a thunderstorm and the lights were out. So there I was listening to the game on a t.v. radio. We got the lights back just in time for me to see the guys skate around with the Cup.So I'll try to see this year but I am not promising I'll stay. Do you think Pittsburgh can win game 6? If so, Why?

Well, the Penguins couldn't transfer that home game to a road game that's for sure. They dominated the opening half of the first period and when that soft floater went in I said right there the Pens were done for the night. You have all the momentum and then a little floater drops in to just suck them dry of all their energy. Sure enough I turned it off midway through the second when it was 4-0. Game six will be interesting. They say the Penguins play best with their backs against the wall and they have been incredible on home ice in these playoffs. By that same token Detroit likes to close out series' in game six on the road. Could go either way and regardless of the result it will be a great game to watch.

I don't want to jinx The Wings by watching but I also think it would be great game. As of now I am not sure If I am going to watch or not.

well, thanks to a bit of an odd schedule, you have 3 days to decide, haha. Unfortunately for the Pens that also means they have an extra day to dwell on game 5. I'm sure they'd rather throw it behind them and take to the ice tonight or tomorrow night as opposed to waiting until Tuesday. It also gives the Wings some more time to recover from those injuries. Even though Datsyuk is back and looks great, he's still not 100%.

The wings don't freak out. they may seem to lose steam but that is different.There are too many vets on the team to freak out. The question is which Wings team will show up.
