" After looking dead in the water for two periods last night the Pittsburgh Penguins got right back into the Stanley Cup final with a 32 winning game three and I'm here with Joe start give Pittsburgh Tribune review. Also -- THI contributor night he joked. I thought that game not only did the Pittsburgh Penguins reestablish themselves in the series they might have found a chink in the armor via. The Detroit red ranks with the power play and and the Detroit Red Wings inability to kill penalties. Which is funny because it."
" You look at last year's final last year's playoffs the revenues are real good on the penalty kill. And also the Penguins powerful it took a long time to get going this year but it finally did. Gonchar returned didn't even spark when he came back from injury but as the playoffs have gone along. That power plays gotten better and better and your right now there are more penalties called the things like really be able to take advantage of that one. That was my point two is that it Timmy and looked like the rodeo back in town like they're a much. Obstruction and holding and holding up four checkers in this series. That -- you know if they ever do start calling with that any consistency may you know about my play and the Penguins hands both funny because the shelter and complain about that laughter funny there aren't that to no avail. I think I've mixed feelings on and I I -- in game one they let a lot of hitting go title light. And they could call penalties but you're right about the obstruction and interference and -- both teams in the one play hate the most. Is when you don't put any trying to get around the defenseman in here here's a few I hate that and they're letting go on double plays and obviously. The players saw that in game one there or let it go and it's been that way and that and that was what was supposed to be the scourge of the game that they were supposed to take out of the game and we both make. I think that a lot of people thought this series would have a lot more artistry to it than it's actually had and I think it's for that reason. I think very surprised that they do it native played three games in four nights might have something to do -- that bubble teams at times in this series have looked just you know worn out with no energy. It's funny because the first period game one was the best period of the series -- it was incredible. Up and down hitting. -- temple and then and then I think you're right the combination of that. And maybe fatigue from from playing so much has them do it. Going into game three Joe everybody was making so much of the Detroit Red Wings and their support players and how they. You know we're taking control series it seemed to me. The third the top two lines were basically a wash but the red the Red Wings -- kill the Penguins at the third and fourth lines. I thought in game three and I think in order for the Penguins to. You know go forward in this series and have a chance it's gonna cut their support players are going to have to play better and they're going to have to play more like they did in game three. Yet all that happened because of my column I am I in the conspirator at the Pittsburgh trip. Seriously though I I I wrote and I really believe like you said that the top players in the series are I think are going to be a wash either way and -- marketing Crosby may be a little bit of cloud above. But the role players have to do something for the Penguins and I hadn't done anything and tonight he maxed out with two goals. Cook drew big penalty Chris with tang then they need -- from the back line he scores a goal. Definitely keep moving forward of course walk it was pretty good victories this. Yeah whether to superstars are the role players coming through these playoffs you'll be able to see and hear all about it on the TH and dot com."
