Henrik Lundqvist stopped 102 of the last 105 shots he faced in the Rangers-Penguins series. Because of that, an anemic offense that Sidney Crosby had nothing to do with, a power play that didn't exist, and shaky goaltending by Marc-Andre Fleury the New York Rangers won the last three games in the Round 2 Eastern Conference series and will play either Boston or Montreal in the Eastern Conference Finals.
Pens head coach Dan Bylsma has now lost three big series in a row (if you count the Olympics as a series) and may be out of a job. He hadn't thought that far ahead when asked after the game...
Here's Crosby speaking the obvious...
The team rallied around Martin St. Louis after the loss of his mother and you could tell the series and the series win meant a lot to him being a part of his new team...

And here's how it happened...

St. Louis Reflects On A Long Few Days
((HT: MSG/NHL))
Martin St. Louis' mom passed away suddenly Thursday. He went home to help take care of what the family needed to do. But after talking it through it was decided that his mom would have wanted him to play Game 5 tonight in the Rangers-Pens series.
The Broadway Blues won and kept the series going, and he got to talk about it after the game.
In a classy move that reinforces just how hockey players are, here's Sidney Crosby talking with St. Louis
Cassie Campbell-Pascall has the lead-in

Classy... very classy...

Hockey's Trading Week Ends With a Flurry (not Theo)
Time to wrap up your NHL Trade Deadline deals and as usual, there were quite a few of them. This year though, outside the Martin St. Louis to the Rangers deal, no earth shakers.
Let's start with the aforementioned Mr. St. Louis.
The long-time Tampa Bay Lightning sniper, age 38, leaves sunny Florida for the New York Rangers. In return, the Bolts get Ryan Callahan and a couple of draft picks.
There was friction in Tampa between St. Louis and team G.M Steve Yzerman and Callahan, a soon to be unrestricted free agent, wasn't able to come to a contract extension in New York.
Meanwhile, the Florida Panthers and Dallas Stars swapped goaltenders. Tim Thomas leaves Florida and Dan Ellis leaves Dallas. The Stars are battling for a playoff berth and believe Thomas gives them some stability along with fellow goalie Kari Lehtonen.
The last "Name" move was Jaroslav Halak moving to his 3rd team this season. Halak, recently acquired by Buffalo in the Ryan Miller trade with St. Louis--not San--louie. The Sabres sent Halak to Washington for a 2015 3rd round pick.
Oh, and Columbus sends former all-star Marion Gaborik to Los Angeles for a couple draft picks and forward Matt Frattin
Those are the biggies--How did your team do? Let us know what you think....
Meanwhile, the nattily dressed Barry Melrose breaks down the St. Louis deal on ESPN:

Espo Rants On St. Louis Rumors (NSFW)
((HT: NextSportsStar TV))
Bill Watters, FOSG Perry Lefko, Jim Tatti, and Phil Esposito were on the NextSportsStar network and discussed the rumors of Martin St. Louis moving to the Rangers from Tampa...
Let's just say that the Larry Brooks entries in the New York Post about what-could-be a deal didn't go over well...
And, yes, it's quite NSFW...
Remember kids, Trade Deadline Day is Wednesday... and it should be fun...

Does St. Louis Want To Head To Broadway...???
((HT: Sportsnet))
Apparently so...
With a wife from Connecticut and a house in Greenwich, he may have asked Lightning GM Steve Yzerman for some movement...
His only requested destination... New York to be with the Rangers...
But the only thing that comes to the HQ's mind is that St. Louis would be the leader of the new round of these guys...
In all reality... it would be an interesting change of address and success...
Chris Simpson, Kyper, and FOSG Jafar discuss...
Trade deadline should be interesting...

DEVELOPING: St. Louis Scores Four In A Row, Still Doesn't Work...
((HT: NHL/SunSports))
The Tampa Bay Lightning's Martin St. Louis scored four goals in a little over 22 minutes in their Saturday afternoon game against San Jose...
The four goals tie the team record by Chris Kontos on October 7, 1992 in Tampa Bay's first-ever game...
St. Louis' four goals gives him 25 for the year. His efforts didn't seem to work in the game as San Jose led 5-4 half-way through the third and one goal in particular was pretty foul...
See...???
