Last night history was made in the hills of Pennsylvania, the WBS Penguins came back from a 3:1 deficit and essentially restarted the series. This morning they will pack their bags board a plane for the second time this season and fly to Chicago to prepare for game 6. You can't help but be impressed by the tenacity of a team like that can come back like that, they played with greater heart last night and that is what in the end carries the day in the finals.

Last night Brian Pochmara did make a few calls, 28 minutes with 10 infractions for Chicago, 6 minutes and 3 infractions for WBS. Wolves columnist Timmy the Heckler has a mantra "good teams overcome bad officiating". In general I concur,, but it wasn't the case last night. Yes, the lopsided penalties did effect the game however the deciding factor was that the Pens simply out played the Wolves. As I see it the end of the game occurred at 6:35 in the third frame when on one of the three precious PP two of the WBS players did not have sticks, the PP ended without a goal. The air went out of the Wolves tires and the rest as they say is history. So we go on to a game 6....
