But Malkin kicked some ass and took names

Malkin beating up Bergeron: gee I'm not impressed-look at the size difference and Bergeron has to protect his head (not to mention the low class move of Malkin by continuing to try to fight after Bergeron was down on the ice.

phantom interference calls: you must have watched a different game than me. I challenge you to show me video of a phantom call. I saw a lot of blocking (and yes I saw one the B's got away with also).

On the other hand, I have to admit, I don't know what impressed me more:
a) how overwhelmingly the Pens dominated the B's or,
b) what a clean player the "new and improved" Cooke was. He looks like the same old dirty player he's always been.

Marchand's hit was not totally square in the back like Cooke and his hit didn't look premeditated like Cooke's was.
