Just a few things that caught my eye:

• Bolts' coach Jon Cooper was right. His team played just like they did when they let the Habs back in the semis. They weren't effective five-on-five and they sure didn't shoot enough. Ugh.
• The Rangers are averaging just two goals a game this postseason. They've been in 13 straight one-goal games. They've won nine of the 16 games necessary to lift Lord Stanley. Will their luck run out? Or should I say, when will their luck run out?

• Funny, the worst offensive team that most recently won the Cup was the 2004 Bolts. They averaged 2.56 goals a game. Next worst? The Devils in 2003 (2.58). So I guess it's possible to win without offense, but ...
• WTF was Andrej Sustr doing out there? Best play of the day was benching him.
• Strange brew. That's the elixir that was Dominic Moore, Carl Hagelin and Marty St. Louis. But it worked. And well.
• So, is removing your appendix like getting a root canal? Seems that way for Ryan Callahan. Wow.
• The Bolts won 57 percent of face-offs without Brian Boyle, but that won't last if Boyle is out for long. He's more valuable on the ice than he has ever been in fantasy arenas.
• Yoo-hoo, Steven Stamkos -- shoot the freaking puck! One shot? Seriously? Even Rick Nash had three.
• Can someone who plays net please tell me why King Henrik uses his head like a blocker? I get it that he likes footie, but those pucks are coming at about 90 mph.
• Mike Smith has been one of Canada's top players at the World Championships. Yes, you read that right. I said Mike Smith. He lives!
• The Mike Babcock saga may soon come to an end. Seems there are only a few real suitors -- the Sabres and the Leafs -- who bothered to submit paperwork to talk to him. The deadline is approaching (the 20th), so there's still time. But right now, Babcock should be talking to Ken Holland and Mike Ilitch -- no, begging with them -- for a contract extension. Run. Don't walk, Mike.
