“I’d like to know how Foster is doing. Russo, can you give us an update? Something as simple as he is on schedule in his rehab.”

Here, here.

NiNY,

Speaking of kick saves, how ’bout Osgood’s stop on Crosby on that partial breakaway? I thought he shot it wide, but the replay showed he juuust barely got a piece of it.

With Geno getting an assist on the game-winner, I wonder if the Wings have awoken(?) a sleeping giant?

Now we will see how well the Red Wings can lift themselves back up off the ice.

I think it will be a huge monkey for them having been so close to the Cup.

Now, I think the Pens have a realistic chance of drinking the champaign.

bfw: now that I think about it, I think that was the second Detroit goal, you’re right about Rafalski’s goal being the third.

Goalieguy: definitely. Huge save, huge moment too.

NINY - I agree that the 2-on-1 save in the 2nd period was as big as it gets. My favorite part of watching the replay was seeing the fans behind the goal. The first three rows were already standing and putting their hands in the air because it looked like a sure goal. Amazing save!

bfw: the one I’m thinking of was a shot from MAF’s glove side boards into the slot, where Datsyuk deflected it. MAF read it right and executed the butterfly slide perfectly, and he even had his stick blade centered between his knees…but it was off the ice and the puck went through five hole. He did 95% of the things right on that play, and that last 5% burned him.
