Paul Martin quietly saved the day in Game 3
If All-State named its insurance plans, everyone would be ordering the Paul Martin Plan. Martin got off to a rough start this series, but his performance in the third period and overtime of Game 3 may have saved the game and, in fact, the series.

The Penguins Think Sidney Crosby Is Paul Martin
How about Sid and them Penguins? All of a sudden they reel off seven-straight wins and now Sid is Morph from the X-Men.
Sidenote: how cheap was it that Morph was just some guy that could look like anyone. Maybe more of a cop-out than Rogue's "I can have everyone's powers if I touch them."

But it is now time to move past all of this.
Back in 2006, when we started blogging, one of our main goals was to defend Sergei...
