Hossa's OT goal sends Pens to East finals Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Marian Hossa's second goal of the game,
7:10 into overtime, sent the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 3-2 victory over the New
York Rangers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals at Mellon Arena.
Hossa tallied the game-winner off a broken play. Sidney Crosby carried over
the Rangers' blue line and dished to Pascal Dupuis. Dupuis tried a centering
pass from the left circle, but the puck skittered off New York defenseman Dan
Girardi's skate to a trailing Hossa, who buried his one-timer from the slot.
Brendan Shanahan may or may not play next season, but if he does return his first choice would be to play with the Rangers, according to Newsday. "I definitely know that I can still be a productive player in the NHL...If I decided to play, this [New York] would be my first choice ... I just know it's not an answer that I'll have for awhile."
Long-time goal fiend and future Hall of Fame inductee Jaromir Jagr remains unclear on his future in the NHL as he enters free agency at the age of 36, according to the Associated Press.
NBC hockey analyst Ed Olczyk said on Sunday that Jaromir Jagr had told him he wanted to play four more seasons in the NHL, according to the NY Times. Olczyk said, "Jagr would love to stay in New York. He told me that is his first choice, but he has some family issues back home in the Czech Republic."
