Peace (in Hockey) by Inches

I dedicate this to my Pittsburgh Penguins, who find themselves in a 0-2 hole against the Detroit Red Wings, with a pivotal Game 3 on the line tonight in the Stanley Cup Finals.

While Pacino's speech is geared toward football, it could just as easily be applied to hockey. Both are about sacrificing yourself as part of a team, and every last one of the Penguins needs to take heed of this lesson tonight if they're going to come back in the series.

GO PENS!!

Pizza: The Latenight Snack of Champions?

Is this the start of a new NHL Playoff tradition?

From ESPN.com:

The pizza was perfect for Petr Sykora and the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Deep in overtime and the season hanging in the balance, Sykora scored a power-play goal 9:57 into the third extra session to give the Penguins a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Red Wings on Monday night and send the Stanley Cup finals back to the Steel City for Game 6.

"We basically just had to keep the fluids going, get some food in you," Sykora said. "We had some pizza coming. We had some power bars and stuff like that."

Asked if the pizza was Little Caesar's, the company founded by Red Wings owner Mike Ilitch, Sykora flashed a smile.

"Domino's," he said.
