Tonight can be make or break.

It is the absolute definition of desperation hockey. Facing elimination in the Stanley Cup Finals, the Pens know they have to be desperate for a win and earn the right to force a game 7. Both teams will be determined to achieve something tonight. One team, the Stanley Cup, the other, a win to make their dreams of hoisting the Stanley Cup possible. I know the Pens will give it all they have, and though we are in the same situation as last year, the Pens are more confident. Instead of coming away from an enormous triple overtime win, the Pens are looking to redeem themselves after a bad loss to the Red Wings, giving them even more motivation to show what they can do and leave it all out on the ice. Though, I believe the Stanley Cup is enough motivation for anyone. It is what every NHLer dreams of growing up, what every player and team strive to lift at the end of a season. Once you reach the final, you never know when you will be back, you have to take the opportunity and do your best. Sounds like more than enough motivation to get the Pens ready to keep their dreams alive tonight.
