Game 5: Red Wings 5 Penguins 0

What can I say? The Red Wings are a completely different team with Pavel Datsyuk in the lineup...even at 80-90%, he was a huge impact. In the first three minutes, the Pens seemed to be all over the Wings. Then Datsyuk made a huge hit on someone (I forgot who), the crowd erupted, and it seemed to turn the whole game around. Marian Hossa just can't buy a goal. He was all over the net and had a lot of good chances that either went off the post or into Fleury's glove. Crosby and Malkin were AWFUL in this game. They both looked undisciplined, shut down, and took a lot of silly penalties. I still think Pittsburgh is going to be a completely different team in Mellon Arena. I'm predicting overtime in this one.

I believe Datsyuk's hit was on Malkin.
