Lots of blocked shots (more than I'm sure they got credit for). Speaking of not getting credit for things. Kris Letang blocked a shot in front of the net like the hero he is, went to the bench, Gonchar came out. Steigy says Gonchar blocked the shot and went to the bench. .05 seconds later he says, "Gonchar is back on the ice." It had me really irritated, perhaps irrationally so. But listen. I know most people don't pay that much attention and I don't like Kris not getting the credit he deserves.
But there was a lot of funny commentating too. At one point, after an Avs goal... ha ha ha... I'm sorry. I meant to say, after the Avs goal, Bob Errey was saying that McKee did all he could do to stop the puck from going in and how Fleury was out of position but still you'd have thought somebody could have stopped the puck from going in and Steigy goes, "like the goaltender, Bob?"
Lots of giving and sharing.
MAF broke his stick. Eaton gave him his and took Jordan's.
Jay McKee was being incredible and then decided to sit on the ice and hold the puck between his thighs. The refs wanted it back in play. So what did McKee do? He did this.
That? is very trusting. Please Sid, don't let them break Jay's goodies with their sticks. Oh my. That photo is going to haunt him forever.
Fleury handed the puck to the Avs, left his net wide open and went for a skate around the ice. Kris Letang and Jay McKee hustled over to make sure nobody broke in while MAF was out stretching his legs. I almost fainted because it was so.fucking.sexy. Simultaneous defensive brilliance. Now that's teamwork. I can't be positive but it looked to me like the puck came dangerously close to Lelover's face while he was sliding across the ice. No photographic evidence of this particular act of heroism exists. I am salivating just thinking about it, so maybe it is a good thing that I don't have a picture to look at all day. I'll keep checking though. I may need that picture for future reference. oh that sexy slide. rowr.
Anyway...
In an act of surrender, the Avs left their net open for Jordan.
But that wasn't enough for the Avs. They wanted to reward our boys some more. In a truly magnificent play that is one for the highlight reels for the rest of all times, Malkin, Crosby and JStaal walked the puck up to the net. A gentelmanly Av escorted them the entire way as they passed the puck back and forth between each other. Sid kept trying to give it to Jordan but Jordan would have none of it. Finally, Captain just tossed it into the net.

It is necessary to note that he has played in six less games than the guy in first (Brett Clark, Avs) and five less than the guy in second (Seidenberg, Panthers).
