This wasn't exactly the game the NHL was probably hoping for but me and the rest of the Penguins nation enjoyed it thoroughly. It was great to see the Penguins finally get rewarded for all the shots they have been putting to net this series. Even better was Crosby putting the dagger in Washington's heart by stealing the puck from Ovechkin and scoring on a break away.
So who's the best player in the world, for my money the answer is Crosby but if you go by the numbers Crosby and Ovechkin played to a stalemate in possibly the greatest playoff duel ever. Since Crosby is the complete player and his team won the series we will give him the edge.
Positives for the series:
1. the Penguins did a good job of staying out of the box.
2. Our super stars are on fire. I know a lot of people felt like Malkin disappeared in this series but when you look at the numbers he only has 3 less points than Crosby who is putting up amazing playoff numbers.
3. Our third line generated a lot of momentum for us and chipped in with a couple of goals.
4. This team seems to be playing better every single time they take the ice.
Negatives for the series:
1. Other than one big save in game 7 where has Fleury been?
2. Does Kunitz still play for the Penguins? Early in this series Kunitz was a physical presence but was not showing up on the score sheet. The last two games i didn't even notice him on the ice, we need him to play better if we are going to win the cup this year.
Overall this was a great series and the better team came out on top.
