Game 7...Let's GO PENS!!!

The Final Showdown
By Sam Kasan

After six highly competitive, tight games between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens in their conference semifinals series, both teams find themselves landlocked in a 3-3 tie.

And now one game is left to decide the fate of both franchises, as a winner-takes-all Game 7 will be played Wednesday night at 7 p.m. at Mellon Arena to determine which team will earn a berth in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Every shift, every hit, every shot, every save, every scoring chance could be the difference between winning and losing, the difference between advancement and extinction.

“You just try to make sure you’re at your best in a Game 7,” captain Sidney Crosby said. “That’s all you can do. There are so many things that can happen. It’s one game. You try to go out there and play your best just like everyone else and see where that brings you, see what the result is. You have to try to leave it all out there and give yourself the best chance.”
