This series is one of the most ridiculous in sports. You have two excellent teams, the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Detroit Red Wings, with two different styles and game plans. Every game they battle it out for supremacy like titans of the ice. The Penguins didn't look like titans in Game 5 but otherwise, an excellent series.

But goaltending has been the deciding factor every game. Yes, in Game 5 most of those goals were not Marc-Andre Fleruy's fault. He was blocked, boxed, and overall hurt by his own team as well as his opponents. But combined with his inconsistency in the first two games of the series Fleury's play has really hurt the Penguins' chances.

But the Penguins looked slow, lethargic and overall pathetic on the ice in Game 5. I'm hoping Game 6 is another epic clash that will take the series to Game 7. This has been an amazing playoff season with basketball and hockey, and one of the most competitive by far.

Well Mike, you got your wish. Game 7 it is. I was wrong. I said Wings in 5. I hope I'm not wrong when I say Wings in 7!
