Just a few things that caught my eye:

• Ben Bishop, please come back. Andrei Vasilevskiy is a fine goalie, but his tantrums are a bit much. Jon Cooper should have yanked him in the third, just to settle him down and show him that behavior is unacceptable. I'd rather have Big Ben's low pain threshold than Vasilevskiy's petulance.
• Brent Burns went from pretty good to elite this season and most of us missed it. Until now. Wookiee just imposes his size and skill in all three zones. #ConnSmythe candidate for sure.

• Phil Kessel, where was this level of engagement when you wore blue and white? He's headed for a freaking Conn Smythe nomination.
• Anyone else think the Blues are lucky to be tied at ones with the Sharks? From a distance, the only thing that has them in this series right now is Brian Elliott.
• Back to Phil the Thrill. His line (Kessel, Nick Bonino and Carl Hagelin) is the NHL's best. And they're theoretically the Pens' third-best line. Wow.
• Best team left in the playoffs? San Jose. Joe Pavelski, Logan Couture and the aforementioned Burns are unfreaking-believable.
• Chris Kunitz finally scored. The drop-off is near complete. The 35-year-old just can't keep up.
