When the Red Wings from Hockeytown were 3-1 ahead in the Stanley Cup Finals and Red Wings Penguins tickets were what hockey fans lived for, we had the wonderful world of NHL hockey at our feet. By Game 3, the Penguins had yet to register on the scoreboard, going down 4-0 and 3-0 respectively in the first two games of the 2008 series. Red Wings tickets were being hunted high and low by Hockeytown's legions of crazy ice fans, and Penguins tickets weren't too far behind. There were comments from Penguins Coach Michel Therrien about Detroit's tactics. Therrien speculated that the Red Wings' tendency to clog the midfield and create a baffle for attacking opponents constituted "obstruction", and Penguins Captain Sidney Crosby seemed to agree. This match-up definitely lived up to the hype. The Red Wings up 2-0 in the series and seriously believing they might sweep this Stanley Cup without conceding a single goal, were stunned when the Penguins came out 3-2 winners in Game 3. The series was now 2-1. Game 4 was another victory for the Red Wings, and the crowd at Joe Louis Arena were ready to celebrate when they bought Red Wings tickets for Game 5. But this has been no ordinary Stanley Cup; the Penguins were up up 2-0 in the first period of Game 5, and the crowd were stunned. Then, the Red Wings struck back, making it 3-2 Detroit! The game had much life left in it, though, and after reaching a 3-3 deadlock, entered a series of overtimes rarely before seen in NHL hockey. With 49:57 and into triple overtime, the Penguins' Petr Sykora scored and turned the arena on its head! The teams went to Pittsburgh's Mellon Arena for Game 6, with the crowd poised for the unexpected. Typically, the Pittsburgh side have been the surprise outfit this NHL season, but they ended it heartbroken and proud.
