Bingo. My question is - why the hell wasn't Lundqvist given an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty? The ref was standing right there - surely he heard Henrik yapping at Sid. Lundqvist must have sniffed some glue before the game - he was hallucinating that Sid was waving his arms.

While I'm not a big fan of the dive, it's part of the game now and many of the top guns in the league do it. Hell - Schmetzky was the master of the dive to draw penalties back in the day and so did Mario on occasion. I do not believe Sid dived last night, as I watched the game from start to finish and clearly saw what Staal did to him.

Mario was as good a diver as there ever was, but he was also brutalized quite often where it went completely unnoticed and/ or ignored, so I think diving became sort of a self defense mechanism.

Well...I'm eating my words. So much for Fleury coming back with a strong game. Stars up 3-1 early in the 2nd. Not sure what's up with Flower, but he needs to wake up. I know he's better than this.

Fleury is a mess.

Pull him

Well, no sooner than I typed that and he totally robs a Star for a goal.

Kunitz scores his 10th of the season from Crosby and Letang to cut the lead down to one before the Fleury save. Hopefully he's ok for the rest of the game.

Woot! Dupuis scores on an assist from Letang to even it up!

It's a fun little game - I'm listening to the Stars announcers - they are dogging Malkin for dogging it

Nice...Crosby scores to put the Pens up 4-3 and is now the leading goal scorer in the league.

Adams and Ott going at it now...Adams made Ott bleed his own blood.

No one makes Steve Ott bleed Steve Ott's blood but Steve Ott.
