Final score: Pittsburgh 6 Ottawa 2. Pittsburgh wins series 4 games to 1.
Ottawa may had been those "pesky " Senators, but the Penguins could certainIy be termed formidable, as they blew away any hopes Senators may have had of winning any of
the remaining series games, by virtue of the Penguins previous victory in Game 4.
And in Game 7. DemonstratIng why they are a team of deep depth & clutch goaltending. It added up to more than just Crosby or Malkin. Throw in Neal, Kuritz, Dupuis, Vokoun, et al and it all adds up. Basically how the Penguins dominated so well the entire season, induding these playoffs.
As for Ottawa, they put on a bit of a clinic of their own defeating Montreal in the previous series, and briefly stealing Game 3 in OT from the Penguins. That was it though. The rest of the results speak for themselves.
?We?re playing probably the best team in the league, and we?re trying and trying, but we have to pay for every little mistake,? Ottawa defenceman Erik Karlsson said after the series-ending 6-2 loss. ?That?s why they are where they are, and we?re standing here.?
Added Sens coach Paul MacLean: ?I hope they don?t bill us for the clinic.?
?We played a better team and sometimes there?s not much you can do,? Karlsson said.
Boy didn't they ever!
