Even if you don't think that you like hockey, you should check out the final game of the Penguins-Capitals series. Five of the series' six games have been decided by one goal, including three in overtime. The fan atmosphere in both cities is pure electricity. The two teams feature the NHL's three top scorers, and that's not even counting the Caps' Alexander Semin who was in the top five in points per game. Caps rookie goalie Simeon Varlamov has made some of the most astonishing saves in playoff history (and yet both he and Fleury have let in enough soft goals to make every possession exciting). Game seven should really be something: tomorrow, 7 p.m. EST, presumably on Versus.
