However...there have been quite a lot of even-play situations and the Pens have done a better job at making the most of their opportunities.
Look at 34 seconds left, Wings polishing up Stanley and Osgood's leg gets pulled a foot away from the goalpost after making that save and the Pens guy stuffs it in there... it was a great play, throw it at the net, see what happens.

Quite true. My comment was made half in jest. The game is better to watch with the rules in place now. NJ won cups with the clutch & grab, clogging the neutral zone. Even The Great One stated he wouldn't have scored all those points with the rules, or lack there of, that were in place. It was also a small part of the reason Super Mario retired. To get more fans the NHL had to change the rules. It was a boring game. You certainly can't say that about this series.
So the game is on NBC, I can watch it.
GO PENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
