It is nice to meet and greet a trio of talented young guns of Pittsburgh Penguins (about their rivals San Jose Sharks tomorrow) who make their names in NHL play offs. Forget Crosby, Malkin and Kunitz.
Numero uno almost all season between pipes of the Pens is young Murray. He is a staple on the roster, who made Fleury to be the second behind him, ironing the bench as a spare. The young fixture of the net does not fly like the bat but he is almost seen cold and icy like the ice rink. The boy who comes from the marriage between Scottish father - yes, that Murray, like the tennis star, but his composed version, and Dutch mother is seen as next big star. Certainly the Pens rely on him.
The biggest media star of the Pens locker room? With speech impendent and horrible scary huge beard? Once outsider who hoped for the NHL career, Bryan Rust. He plays starring role this season, so different from his years in minor leagues where he was picked up by the coach and joined Penguins this season. He played Game 2 against the Sharks despite the hit on his head, by Patrick Marleau. Rust scored to help Pittsburgh win Game 1, his sixth goal of the postseason after scoring five times in 55 games of his career in the regular season. Who is the other Penguin player mentioned on his Twitter? Yes, the man who scored OT goal in Game 2 - Sheary.
Conor Sheary is little big man, just a sandwich + 1,7m but he was very visible with his OT goal in Game 2. We will hear about him in next games because he is very mobile. If you want to have fun, listen to Punjabi broadcast of his action which silenced the Sharks. The funny broadcast was made for Indian community of hockey fans in Canada. You know what's number 1 sport in Canada? Ice hockey, correct. I am happy I am not on TV unless the Sharks progress into game 6. Have a nice weekend. Bonimo, Bonimoooooo!!!
