Recap: Columbus Thuggery Rewarded With OT Win

Silver lining: Sidney Crosby escapes serious injury after a dirty hit to the back of the neck by Dubinsky.

So the first 30 minutes of this game were honestly pretty boring, although by no means should that absolve the Penguins of playing most of the period and a half in their own end and allowing Fleury to be peppered by shots. In the end they allowed 42 shots on Fleury while managing 26 on the other end. That's not a winning formula.

At some point midway through the second period the boring 0-0 game deteriorated to a complete gongshow.
