Wow, now that's the way Pens! Dominated the Sens.

Cheap shot by Wingels at the end of the game, though.

Hope they roll the momentum into Ottawa on Tuesday.

And who knew Maatta would score two games in a row? That's double the goals he had all season.

Nice job, Preds.
Anyone but that douchebag Getzlaf.

Well, that was a stellar performance by the Ducks. Amazing how they came up short. I call it karma.

I was not feeling a thing for Perry when he laid his head on the boards.

Aside from Rinne the Ducks had that game. Bernier was never there.

Good on the Predators!

Where's the like button for this?

Ducks played right on the edge of dirty. I'm glad they and their cheap shots are gone.

I'd take Getzlaf on my team any day of the week. The guy has grit.

Edited for brevity.

DUDE!! Empty net goals are the BEST!!!

Hey, while I grew up in Nashville, and still don't totally understand everything about the game (football, basketball, & baseball are what I played when growing up), I can certainly embrace the intensity of Hockey. Plus, we're now going to the Stanley Cup!!

Pens broke Don Cherry's rule in game 5 by embarrassing the Sens and running up the score. That almost guaranteed them a loss last night.

I do think they'll pull it out at home in game 7 though.

This is testament as to how bad the NHL officiating has become: Mike Milbury complaining about the inconsistency of the referees. Not the greatest video, but the best I could find.

GO SENS!!!

Sens have an advantage. The referees are Wes McCauley & Dan O'Halloran. McCauley tossed Sullivan earlier this year (in a game vs Ottawa). O'Halloran was the official ignored any penalties when Chad Ruhwedel was high sticked & then received a head shot, save for calling Ian Cole for roughing.

Yeah. And apparently they forgot what a hooking penalty is. Advantage Pens. Roll Eyes Nevermind the terrific slash by Malkin after he got hip checked into last night. Officiating blows both ways.

And right now it's blowing in the Senators favor. Power Plays: Senators 2, Penguins 0. I've seen holding and even tackling by the Senators that did not generate even a "make-up" call.

ETA:
Finally a call. Clearly an interference call on Phaneuf.

As with other playoff series where the Pens are involved the refs have once again showed they are the six man on the Pens team. Cool
