The Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Ottawa Senators 3-2 on Thursday to advance to their fourth Stanley Cup Final since 2008 and, of course, Twitter went nuts after Chris Kunitz buried the double-overtime winner.
With so many intriguing storylines to follow in this series, the postgame tweet reaction was worth a read:
Craig Anderson, man. Inspiring season. Continued strength to his family.

More importantly: Penguins now 4 wins away from being first repeat champs of cap era and first since Detroit in '97 and '98

I wanna congratulate Craig Anderson on an amazing playoff season. He was fabulous for the @Senators. Amazing season for him and their team.
