Game Five: Third Period

Talbot pounded in the game tying goal with 34.3 seconds remaining in the third! He keeps the Penguins very dim playoff hopes alive with the game tied at three going into overtime.

The fans at the Joe were silenced by the goal.

The Wing’s were trailing 2-1 going into the third period. Pavel Datsyuk finally got one past Fleury, but he was denied by the cross bar. Fans were jumping, but were disappointed to learn that the puck bounced off the under side of the cross bar.

Datsyuk finally put one in the net to tie the game at three on a power play goal.

Rafalski earned the go-ahead goal when he drove the puck past Fleury. The Penguins were looking lackluster in the middle of the third. The fans were pumped at the Joe because the score finally reflected the shot count. Until Talbot ruined their victory, at least for a little while longer that is.

It’s do or die for the Penguins now. Nothing beats Stanley Cup-sudden death OT!

(Both Gonchar and Malone were returned to the ice for period three).
