Finally watched the highlights. I'd say goaltending was even AT BEST. Fleury made some amazing stops, and the first two goals are not on him AT ALL. One was a flukey bounce off his own guy in a 5-on-3 for god's sake. The next was on a play where Kuznetsov was fed the puck at point blank range with NOBODY near him and like 2-3 seconds to think about what to do.

Also giving Niskanen 5 and a game for that is a joke. ONLY because it's Crosby and ONLY because he stayed down. Crosby was already losing his balance and falling over such that his head was like a foot and a half lower than it normally would be. Niskanen was rushing to the net holding his stick at shoulder height prepared to check whoever was there. He's looking at the puck and not even looking at Crosby. Yes, it TECHNICALLY was a check to the head, but completely and totally accidentally and unintentionally. That's two, sure, fine. It's not five and a game.
