However, if you had watched even one period of the game, you know that was not the case. Pittsburgh thrived on the PP. They benefited from a controversial slashing penalty with 2:04 left in regulation time, in addition to the one minute 2-man advantage earlier in the game.
I have heard a lot of chatter from sharps in vegas that the NHL would prefer the penguins move on. They have a much larger following out of Canada because of Crosby.
