-Notice a trend in the 3-Stars of the Night? All 3 guys scored the game-winning goal, a category that I personally think is so important.
-In the lighter side of things, a funny incident at the end of the Flyers/Lightning game where B.J. Crombeen's glove stuck to Steve Downie's jersey after a scrum at the end of the play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov7MEv5eXVI
