Greetings from Joe Louis Arena for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals. Will Detroit be lifting its 11th championship trophy? Will Pittsburgh stave off elimination? Stay tuned.

Here's my regular warning about the Joe Louis Arena Internet connection: It can be shaky sometimes, so if I disappear, don't fret. Keep posting those comments and I'll return as soon as the WiFi allows me.

The boos are sounding. That must mean the Pens are taking the ice.
Monday June 2, 2008 7:33 Michael Zuidema
7:34
Michael Zuidema: 
They just aired a shot of what must have been the Stanley Cup's protective case, and it drew a cheer. These Detroit fans are ready.

Michael Zuidema: 
News update from the morning skate: Tomas Holmstrom will play. That means McCarty will be a healthy scratch once again.

Chris Chelios also doesn't expect to play.

Both teams have taken the ice. And sure enough, there's Homer.

The Penguins contingent seems to be drastically reduced from Games 1 and 2. Guess Red Wings fans cleaned out StubHub, eBay, etc.

NHL Network has had pretty good post game coverage throughout the playoffs. SHould be good for out of towners stuck with the NBC feed and local networks that want to get the late news started on time. FSN Detroit has the Tigers late tonight, so I don't expect they'll have much live coverage.
