2008 Stanley Cup Game 5

Kudos to NBC on their coverage last night of the triple overtime Stanley Cup Playoff Game between the Detroit Red Wings vs the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Not once did NBC break away for a commercial. Even when there was a puck stoppage and a TV time out, they stayed with the coverage.

NBC chose to go the right route and not kill the fans interest.

Also great job by Maxime Talbot, who scored what is most likely to be the goal of his career with 38 seconds left in regulation, Petr Sykora, who scored the goal in the third overtime to give the Penguins the win, and Marc-Andre Fleury, who was a brick wall during the three overtimes, amassing 55 saves.

The way I see it: Game 6 is going to be great.
