Just some quick observations after the first period of play here in game 7.

-Osgood is really getting too far out of his net in clearing/puck controlling attempts. This is almost entirely due to the Wings defenders being out of position more times than not.

-If the Penguins keep getting opportunities in front of the net like they have, the goals will start piling up. It really has just come down to players being in fantastic position to score, but unable to make the last part of a great play.

-The Wings' penalty kill unit did a great job in the middle of the period, but need to do a better job of clearing. Actually, the Wings in general need to do a better job of clearing the puck.

-Fuck Star Cams. This is a team sport, I care not for individuals.

-Detroit had a bunch of great goal scoring chances early on, but by the middle of the period they had disappeared.

-Pittsburgh needs to be careful to not tire themselves too much.

-There is nothing greater only one thing in sports than a game seven of the Stanley Cup Final. If you disagree I will cut you. A game seven of the Stanley Cup Final that goes into overtime is the greatest thing in sports.

-Two periods left, really hoping for overtime. Sudden death for the cup. I want that.

-This is disgusting, also proves hockey players are the toughest athletes out there.
