- Zatkoff winning Game One when he had no business doing so.
- Murray, a prospect with very little NHL experience, coming in and owning the net like a boss.
- A defense that people were calling the worst in the playoffs holding it together and withstanding Letang's suspension, Daley's injury, and Maatta's rough patch.
- Maatta responding to his scratches by playing insanely good hockey.
- Conor Sheary, an undrafted undersizer stepping in and tearing it up against the best goalie in the world.
- Tom Kuhnhackl journeying all the way up from the ECHL to make an impact.
- Kunitz silencing some critics with an awesome Tampa series.
- Matt fucking Cullen, 39 years old and still stomping teams.
You can go on and on about Crosby, Malkin, Kessel and Letang but they're just a part of something bigger than them right now. These guys have had so much shit go against them and they keep on swinging. That's the definition of scrappy.
