The Penguins Have A Random Dude In Goal And The Rangers Might Be Doomed Anyway
Even if he never plays again, there may not be a better feel-good story in these playoffs than Jeff Zatkoff, a third-string goalie thrust into action by injury, who responded with a confident, capable start that, backed by a Patric Hornqvist hat trick, gave the Penguins about as strong a 1-0 series ...

The Rangers Were Annoyed That The Blackhawks' Banner Ceremony Took So Long
The Blackhawks went all out to commemorate the start of their championship defense—and why not? How often do you win a Cup? But last night’s ceremony went on forever. There was a red carpet walk.

Mats Zuccarello's Injury Turned Out To Be Terrifying

A Tale Of Two Goalies In Game 7
Henrik Lundqvist isn’t supposed to lose Game 7. And to be fair, New York’s 2-0 loss to Tampa Bay last night was in no way Lundqvist’s fault. For two periods New York’s attack was ineffectual, and its defense allowed the Lightning to get off a number of quality shots. Lundqvist saved them all. Even t...
The Rangers Finally Found A Scoring Line

This is not to suggest that the usually dependable Lundqvist has some p...
The Ben Bishop Save That Brought Some Sanity To The Lightning's Win
So rarely does a four-goal game have such an obviously pivotal moment as did last night’s 6-2 Lightning win to even their series with the Rangers at a game apiece. Rather than the laugher the score suggests, it was, for most of its runtime, a tense, thrilling game: maybe the fastest and most wide-op...
Lightning Score Rare 3-On-5 Shorthanded Goal
