Believe: Penguins 4-3 Red Wings (3 O.T.)
Fifteen down, one to go! Best of seven: Detroit 3-2 Pittsburgh.

Sadly, this is exactly what happens when you don't put a team down for good and instead let them hang around. Even though they were badly outplayed for long stretches of the game, the Penguins held on and held on, and eventually prevailed. But, take heart, Hockeytown faithful. You know who else won Game 5 in the Joe Louis Arena to stave off elimination and force a Game 6 back on their home ice? The Dallas Stars, and we all saw how that turned out for them.

And now I am for bed. I'm exhausted, mentally and emotionally more than physically. Go Red Wings!
