RECAP: GAME FIVE: Pesky No More. PENS ADVANCE.
That Saturday, May 25 in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Today is one of the great days in Penguins history. It is the day the Penguins won their first Cup. Just a special day to think about because it is one of our earliest memories as hockey fans. The entire journey is documented in the "One From The Heart" video. And this piece of it is perfectly timed:
22 years, you guys. Still goosebump city.
Go Pens

QUICK CAP: Pens headed to ECF
Neal's catching fire at the right time. These last two games have been scary for whoever the Pens play in the East Finals. Recaps will be staggered due to the holiday weekend, so drink up.

Playoff Gameday: Pittsburgh Penguins & Ottawa Senators - Round Two, Game Five
Ottawa Senators @ Pittsburgh Penguins
Penguins Lead Series 3-1
NBCSN, CBC, RDS - 7:30 pm/et
Consol Energy Center - Pittsburgh, PA
In recent years the Pittsburgh Penguins have had difficulty closing out a playoff series at home. Will things change today?
How will the Senators respond to being blown out on Wednesday? For that matter, how will the Penguins respond? The Ottawa Senators have nothing left to lose. Does that mean they'll give everything they have in hopes of coming back in this series? Or is Daniel Alfredsson right and the series is pretty much over?

Add a commentDaniel Alfredsson says comments after Game 4 were taken out of context. Reporters reaction say otherwise.
Oh hey look Alfie said he his statements about "probably not coming coming back," were taken out of context. [ NESN ]
Alfredsson did say, however, that he wasn’t ready to give up on the team. He reiterated that Thursday, just a few hours after making the postgame comments. “There’s no denying we’re in tough,” Alfredsson said, according to NHL.com’s Arpon Basu via Twitter. “Was it taken out of context? Probably, but that’s fine. I can handle that.”
Ummm....watch this video around the 1:01 minute mark.
Check out the reporters face on the far left:

There is nothing better than a shocked canadian reporter. Great leadership by Alfie. Idiot.
