Last night, down 3-1 in the third, they played for their lives and were absolutely crushing the Lightning. Shot attempts were 20-6 in the third, for a 76% possession rating. Everyone is talking Marc-Andre Fleury, and rightly so, but Andre V. is the only reason the Lightning weren't swept.

controlling play in the third period of game 5 when you're down by 2 goals is really, really not impressive.

Jean-Sebastien Gigure and Jonathan Quick are the only two goalies to ever play this good, for this long in the playoffs. Their records are currently only one one-hundredth of a percentage point higher than Marc-Andre's. Both won the Cup.

J.S. Giguere won the Conn Smythe that year, but not the Cup ('02-'03 season when he had the .945 save % in the playoffs).

For all the american movies you watch and recommend, you honestly thought Vegas was going to lose? Are you surprised at the end of action movies when the hero beats the bad guy and ends up with the female lead with whom he had an adversarial relationship the entire movie?
