>May 26, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: A fire alarm went off at the Penguins' hotel here around 1:30 a.m. today. It proved to be a false alarm, but that didn't prevent the players from being awakened when it went off.

>It was not immediately clear whether the incident was a prank, although the Penguins deal with such things relatively often on the road, especially in Philadelphia.

>"That's one that we've gone through before," center Sidney Crosby said. "I'm sure it's just a coincidence."

Perhaps, but the story didn't end when the alarm was turned off.

>Team officials said that about a half-hour later, there was a hotel-wide announcement that it had been a false alarm, effectively waking anyone who had managed to get back to sleep.

>Quite honestly, it's no secret that opposing teams have stayed in the MGM Grand hotel during the playoffs. It's a casino hotel, so one would imagine that its security is more than sufficient.

Watch out everyone, Pensfags are going to cite fire alarms as an excuse for their team's fail.

Flyers would have scored at least once.

Granted, it would have been Richards on a short-handed breakaway, but still...


But NOOOOoo, Philadelphia had to say "Hey, we went from worst to the Conference Finals. Let's stop now instead of getting pummeled by Detroit."
