Just a few things that caught my eye:

• Was that Dominic Hasek inside Henrik Lundqvist's equipment? Holy twist/roll/backflip blocker save, eh! He was lucky he didn't accidentally score an own goal.

• Every year, there's a foreshadowing of future greatness one or two young players. Is Brandon Saad this year's version? I like what I see. A lot.

• There's been plenty of attention given to the inspiration provided to the Rangers by the death of Martin St. Louis' mother. But we shouldn't forget Dominic Moore -- he of the game and series winner -- and the crushing loss of his wife less than 18 month ago. It's hard to quantify the inspiration, but if the similarly inspired Edmonton Oil Kings can win a Memorial Cup ...

• How many shots can Rick Nash take before Rick Nash starts to actually score goals? Wow.

• Dustin Tokarski was outstanding. End. Of. Story.

• Has anyone really responded effectively when the Kings turn up the heat? Down 3-1 to up 4-3 in about one period. Yikes.

• Twenty six. That's the number of days between multi-point games for Patrick Kane. Glad you showed up, dude.

• So ... Vancouver fans. Have you noticed Alain Vigneault and the job he's been doing? His success is almost reason enough to cheer for the Rangers (and rub it in your face).

• Marian Gaborik or Thomas Vanek? I know which free agent I'd be signing.
