Caps got a lucky break yesterday. You don't normally get away with a clear trip on the power play.

I agree to a point but they were not ready to play, they lost their mojo about two weeks prior to the playoffs. On Malkin, he has not shown up two out of the past three playoff years, (of course injured last year). The talk is the Pens can't keep all three centers, Cosby, Malkin or Stahl due to salary cap issues. If it were me I'd keep Stahl. Malkin is an awesome regular season player obviously, but not an awesome playoff player at least with the Pens. This is Crosby's team maybe he just needs his own.
