"What an experience", he said.
It ends the deepest playoff run in Predators history.
What a game. Series. The team was missing Kris Letang and was missing Murray for the first two rounds.
Despite that, the Penguins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets and then the Washington Capitals, teams that finished with the best and fourth-best regular season records, in the first two rounds before getting past the Ottawa Senators in the Eastern Conference finals.
With the Penguins on the verge of doing just that entering Game 6 against the Nashville Predators, Sullivan reiterated that message to his team.
Ellis played only 10:44 of Nashville's 6-0 loss on Thursday night in Pittsburgh.
More highlight-reel stops from Rinne and Murray. In this arena, fans had already been screaming for the better part of an hour by the time the Predators skated through a giant saber-toothed monster, its eyes glowing a menacing yellow.
Sissons was later stoned by Murray on a clear breakaway in the second period to keep Game 6 scoreless. However, the goal was waved off due to the referee blowing an inadvertent whistle before Sissons put-back could count. Predators center Colton Sissons lunged forward, knocking the puck across the goal line for what appeared to be the first goal by either team.

Where might the attackers have bought them from? "At that point, I didn't know if the shots were us or potentially the attackers". Scotland Yard last night released photographs of the fake suicide belts Butt, Redouane and Zaghba wore during the attack.
That disallowed goal was crushing enough.
Rinne, meanwhile, was back to his home-ice self early in Sunday's matchup, halting nine shots from the Penguins, including a line drive from Conn Smythe victor Sidney Crosby in the final minute of the first period. They had four power plays in the game, including back-to-back opportunities midway through the second. "We lost a lot of guys to injuries". It was a weird one. Things didn't go our way, but that happens.
"The '97-98 Wings, who I grew up cheering for being from MI", forward Bryan Rust said. "We believed all the way". He seized the moment - again - to improve to 5-2 in his career with the Stanley Cup in the building as the Penguins remained flawless with the chance to clinch (5-0) on the road.
Crosby has already won the Rocket Richard Trophy this season and is a Hart Memorial Trophy finalist.
Patric Hornqvist used to be a Nashville Predator. "And so he's done it in all different venues, whether it be the National Hockey League and Stanley Cups to the World Cup to the Olympics".
Notes: Lemieux won the Conn Smythe in 1992 and 1992, and Bernie Parent was the first to win the MVP trophy in consecutive years in 1974 and 1975.
The goalies dictated the action in the first period.
