Feel Free to Vomit

Game 4 Saturday night was the difference between being right back in the series or....where we're at right now. Now, were down 3-1. Where do you go from here? Well, you got three options. ONE: You tap out, give up. It's over. You can go to work all jagged off and angry while thinking; this is going to be a looooong summer. Well, October doesn't come for a while, so whoever is taking bachelor #1, they're going to be one miserable person.
TWO: Detroit is really good. It's obvious. It's only a matter of time before all that Pens gear goes on sale. Or THREE: 3-1, sure it's Mt. Everest. We were only a crossbar and post from a Marian Hossa backhand from possibly being at 2 games a piece. It's not over until you're dead and the only things dead on the ice have been octopuses. Detroit holds the cards and Detroit holds all those cards that could lose it all. Pittsburgh is on the doorstep knocking, because unlike Detroit, they have nothing to lose.
Which person are you?
If the Pen's can pull off the inevitable and win IN Detroit, the momentum can shift again, bring game 6 back home. Pittsburgh can once again possibly tie up the series at 3-3. (I work the night shift, I have a lot to think about.) When you start thinking of winning games 5 and 6 to get back into the series. What about game 7? Are the Penguins good enough and able enough to pull off the unthinkable against Detroit? Is there any evidential proof that Pittsburgh could win 4 straight game and take the cup against the shut down defense of Detroit? I couldn't tell you, but I'm sure this Malkin guy chipping in wouldn't help. Or, that whole 2nd line for that matter. Game 5 is going to be something special. Watching Sidney Crosby out there in desperation is going to unravel your mind. He's got some broad shoulders, but can he carry this team? It's Detroit's to lose. The Pen's can make their decision for them.
...God help us.
