Just a few things that caught my eye:
- Is it just me or are big guys just awkward? Ben Bishop went down like a Great Dane puppy who tripped over its own feet.
- Sidney Crosby, meet Brian Boyle. You know -- the guy who schooled, dominated and plain ol' peeved you off. BTW Sidney -- you play like crap when you're mad.
- What's the over-under on the number of Bolts suspended over the weekend? I'm picking Ryan Callahan to get at least two games and Ondrej Palat is in the crosshairs, too. WTF boys -- do you need a reminder about the see-jersey-numbers-STOP maneuver?
- Has anyone changed minds more than Jonathan Drouin? Next closest? Phil Kessel.
- How bad is Ben Bishop's injury if Anton Stralman and his busted fibula skated off with just a bit of support from two teammates? Or is someone's pain threshold a bit on the whiny stage? Did anyone else think they were watching a flailing star at World Cup soccer match?
- Matt Murray wasn't exactly sharp. The goals weren't all his fault, but it was netminding advantage Tampa -- injury and all -- in Game 1. But is it fair to ask Marc-Andre Fleury to step back into the blue paint given his long layoff?
- Penguins' fans will drive Big Ben's ego right into the ice if the guy comes back this series. And he could -- early reports indicate "no structural damage." Maybe that magic spray that trainers carry will fix it all. It works in soccer ...
