The Pittsburgh Penguins<\/a> remain alive in the Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Philadelphia Flyers despite going down 3-0 to begin the first-round series.<\/p>\n

Game 6 is set for puck drop in Philadelphia<\/a> on Wednesday night, and there\u2019s no need to explain the importance for both sides. Either way, Wayne Gretzky, “The Great One,” has loved everything about this series.<\/p>\n

“Boy, this has been really good hockey. It\u2019s fast, it\u2019s physical, there\u2019s a lot of skill. It\u2019s been enjoyable to watch. It\u2019s great for hockey,” Gretzky said on the “Game Notes” podcast.<\/p>\n

But many didn\u2019t believe we\u2019d see a Game 6 in this series after how the Flyers<\/a> dominated the Penguins in the first three matchups. However, Gretzky warns anyone still believing the Flyers will eventually close this out to never doubt a Sidney Crosby-led Penguins squad.<\/p>\n

“You never count Crosby out, right? Even at 3-0, if there\u2019s one team that has the ability to come back, my goodness, [the Penguins] have so much firepower with him and [Evgeni] Malkin. They made a goaltending change, and it seems to have perked the team.”<\/p>\n

The first three games saw Stuart Skinner in net for Pittsburgh, but head coach Dan Muse decided to give Arturs Silovs the nod in a win-or-go-home Game 4, among other line changes.<\/p>\n

The Latvian netminder has been nails for the Penguins, while the offense has found its way for the team with their backs against the wall.<\/p>\n

That isn\u2019t to say Gretzky doesn\u2019t like what he\u2019s seen on the other bench.<\/p>\n

The Flyers, one of the youngest teams in the NHL<\/a>, had to go on a run just to make it into the playoffs. They caught fire at just the right time, and that momentum resulted in a dominant start to the series.<\/p>\n

“Philly is playing with a lot of guts and energy,” Gretzky explained. “I talked to one of the [NHL\u2019s] coaches in the last 10 games of the season, and they played Philly. He said it was one of the hardest teams they had to play against. They just play the right way. They finish checks, they play with energy. I really like their goaltender. I think he\u2019s a solid netminder. Playoff time, you got to have goaltending, man, or you don\u2019t have a chance.<\/p>\n

“So, gosh, this is such a big game for a young team like Philly. It\u2019s going to be exciting to watch.”<\/p>\n

What seemed like a quick ending in the first round has turned into a thrilling Game 6, with Crosby\u2019s Penguins looking to do everything they can to get it back to Pittsburgh for a decisive Game 7.<\/p>\n

Gretzky knows Crosby is telling his teammates what he needs to get them in the right frame of mind for a raucous Philly crowd on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s really difficult, especially if you get down 3-0 and the fourth game is on the road. That\u2019s tough,” Gretzky said. “It takes leadership and experience to understand, listen, you gotta win four games. It\u2019s all cliches, and I know everybody says the right thing. But ultimately, you got to have that confidence to win one game.<\/p>\n

“So, you win Game 4 and you\u2019re saying on the plane ride home, \u2018Listen, we\u2019re back in this. We\u2019re going home. Our building. Let\u2019s win Game 5.\u2019 Then, all the momentum switches to us and all the pressure sort of goes to the Flyers. Obviously, Sid\u2019s been one of the greatest captains ever during his time in Pittsburgh.”<\/p>\n

Crosby, the three-time Stanley Cup champion during his future Hall of Fame career in Pittsburgh, has tallied a point in each of the last three games against the Flyers. He had two assists in the 3-2 victory in Game 5, while scoring his first Stanley Cup Playoffs goal since 2022 in Game 4.<\/p>\n
