from Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun,

Not so fast, Pittsburgh.

That was some demonstration of civic love and anticipation outside the Consol Energy Center and blocks in any direction Thursday night — tens of thousands of fans flooding the streets, gathering around big screens, ready to celebrate the Penguins’ Stanley Cup.

But the San Jose Sharks evidently didn’t get the memo.

The Californians showed an annoying lack of understanding of the script, a total disregard for the spirit of the thing.

Sometime between crawling out of California down 3-1 in games and suiting up for Game 5 in decidedly enemy territory, the Sharks must have figured out that it would be interesting to see what happened if they scored the first goal.

from Ron Cook of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette,

So you are tired, disappointed, perhaps even angry if you paid thousands for a ticket to get into Consol Energy Center Thursday night?

Get over it.

The Penguins still are going to win the Stanley Cup.
