PITTSBURGH — It stood on the edge of the cliff. The dirt below, starting to crumble. The rocks underneath, beginning to give way.
Time and time again Sunday night, Game 5 of the Eastern Conference final, kept getting away from the Lightning. Because of it, this Stanley Cup-or-bust season was moving ever so close to being a bust.
But the Lightning wouldn't allow it. Of course it didn't. This amazing team refuses to let this amazing postseason go down without a fight.
On the road. Facing a good Penguins team in front of more than 18,000 screaming, yellow-clad Pittsburgh fans ready to celebrate a victory.
