Sykora gives hope to Penguins with goal on 3rd extra quarter

 

Yesterday the Penguins took a break and pull things at 3-2 in their series for the Stanley Cup Finals against the Red Wings as they won the game 4-3 playing at Detroit, which means alot since it’s sort of difficult to beat the Wings at their own backyard.

Now the series will move to Pittsburgh for game 6, and the Pens are obligated to win that one at home if they want to remain alive. Petr Sykora saved the day with a goal at the third over time, and avoided an upset by the Wings that would have sent the Penguins to Pittsburgh for good. Now the Pens are flying home, but with the Red Wings on an airplane behind them.

It’s rare to see the Red Wings allowing so much space when they’re playing at Joe Louis Arena, but this was a different game overall, as Detroit looked a little more nervous than usual, and so they couldn’t avoid the Penguins to win as they could not prevent them from taking a 2-0 lead early on the game, which at the end is what game the Pens their so awaited victory.

The Red Wings are a team with more history than the Penguins when it comes to Stanley Cup moments, and Pittsburgh is a young team accumulating experience, so Detroit has definitely more chances to win this series and win the championship, but as of yesterday’s game, nobody really expected the Pens to come up with the win, so you never know, they might as well beat the Wings at Mellon Arena and come back to Detroit for game 7, so if they are able to beat the Red Wings at home one more time, they will truly are going to become a big part of NHL history, but that is to be seeing.
