I went down to JOEvision for game 6, and I have to tell you, it was the greatest event I have ever been to in my life. I took lots of pictures and videos and will have them up online by the end of the night.

It was amazing! There was confetti and fire just like if the game was there. Best $5 (make that $7.25 because of ticketmaster) I have ever spent.

Outstanding, B. That looks like it was great.
How did the crowd take that last-second near goal?

Well, everyone was standing with about 3 minutes to go, then Pittsburgh had the PP goal and everyone started to come back down to Earth. In the waning seconds, one of the Penguins shot it into the zone and was gloved down by Lidstrom, who then shot it out of the zone. About then, everyone started to go wild again. And I'm watching the Penguins bring it up in the zone going "uh, there is still time left." And to be honest, once the puck got passed up with like 2 seconds, I thought the Penguin had a wide open net. Osgood made the save, and my jaw dropped. Honestly, I don't know how many people realized how close it was. And although that last swipe by Hossa wouldn't have counted, the fact that the puck kind of trickled by Osgood almost put me back in the seat.

So I'm having problems compressing the videos and getting them up on youtube, in the meantime, enjoy this picture I took in the parking garage:

Wow! That sent chills up my spine. I wish I could have been there! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing that, BT. I have always thought the JoeVision thing looked like fun. Your video showed it was way beyond that!!
Penguin on car--LOL!!

I went to the PalaceVision a few times back in 2005 when the Pistons were in the NBA Finals, taking on the Spurs. Surprisingly it's a TON of fun. Just like being at an actual game. I wanted to go to JoeVision this year, but gas is too expensive.
