Baldfalski crossed over the wrong way when skating backwards & that was the slight opening Staalsy needed to blow past him & hold him off with his big frame. This goal defines Gronks career & changed the momentum & dynamic of the game. The Wings had the lead & back to back pp's but yielded a game tying shorthanded goal to a guy who had 7 shortys in his rookie year. Staal finally scored a bigtime goal in a bigtime game at a crucial moment. Staal = the Pens top penalty killer!

I would love to hear this goal called by Gary Thorne. Just to hear it.

I remember saying to my brother as we watched the game after Malkin's breakaway shorthanded, "If the Penguins get a shorthanded goal here, that would change the whole tide of the series. However, it's unlikely the Pens will get another chance."

Seemed like half a second later Jordan Staal headed down the ice to change the whole complexion of the series.

rafalski was definately in quicksand on this play.. he didn't have a very good finals

[Slegnirp]

The goal that turned the tide.

i know, why malkin cuz he sucks ,shud have been crosby,fleury or talbot

[Slegnirp]

He is underrated, yes, but he could have prevented that goal.

Jordan Staal told reporters that he noticed that Rafalski and Lidstrom were both flat-foot when he took the pass, so he just turned on the jets and scored the goal that probably single handledly turned the Stanley Cup Finals around for the Penguins.
