Nice to see the Blues and Kings finally play some hockey instead of hit anything that moves.
Turns out the Kings showed up to play for once.
Nice comeback after being down by two and down by one.

They put Crosby on the SI cover.

Pittsburgh-NY Islanders: Brian Strait holding penalty in OT; Sidney Crosby had Brian Strait cleanly beaten as he used a power turn with the puck in the corner to take the lead lane on a direct path to the net. Strait took one hand off his stick and grabbed Crosby from behind to restrain the best player in the world. The Referee delayed his decision and the raising of his arm to make sure that a legitimate infraction had been committed in OT.
In games where we have seen too many missed or avoided calls I commend Referee Tim Peel for making this one at a crucial time in the game.

Classless yes. But every fan base has their idiots. Boston is no different.
It seems Boston Bruins fans don’t have the market cornered on stupidity.
Just a couple of days after a Leafs backer was knocked unconscious while supporting his team in Boston, pictures surfaced of a Leafs fan holding up a “Toronto Stronger” sign at the ACC during Monday’s game.
“Those kind of things happen in playoffs. Unfortunately the best and sometimes the worst comes out of the passion of our game.”
On Saturday, Oshawa’s Kyle Hay attended Game 2 in Beantown with six friends and was hit by a sucker punch after the contest, resulting in a hospital visit and a concussion.
The Maple Leafs in turn have reached out to Hay and given him and a pal tickets to Wednesday's Game 4 at the ACC.

Hearing Bylsma's answers, I think they'll yank namebrand goalie #1 and put in namebrand goalie #2 for Game 5...?
So, even with the addition of Murray, it is possible Pittsburgh did not address their big issues on D as shown against the Flyers last year in the playoffs. Clearly, they think the Washington Caps' prior years strategy of outscoring the opponents in the playoffs is a great one.....................

@ Yummy's humble pie for questioning the wisdom of the godfather of hockey talk. Should be an interesting summer in teh burgh's of Pitt if the Pens lay another first round goose egg.
Since when was Fleury a top tier goaltender?

For the record, based on the criteria as debated in here (a la dom and Waldorf), I believe Fleury is a name-brand goalie.
He's not as decorated as say, a Lunqvist or Quick, but he is a name-brand goalie.
