The San Jose Sharks insist they'll be better in Game 2 on Wednesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins than they were in the opener, when the Western Conference champions wobbled out of the gate and never really had control in a 3-2 loss that spoiled the club's debut in the NHL's marquee event after a quarter century wait. Or, maybe the Sharks allowed themselves to briefly get caught up in the moment. ''The home team played a better game than us,'' San Jose coach Peter DeBoer said. Continue to Article

Patrick Marleau of the San Jose Sharks will not have a hearing for his hit on Bryan Rust of the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, and thus will not be suspended by the Department of Player Safety. Marleau was given a two-minute minor for an illegal check to the head at 4:47 of the third period. Rust left the game for concussion protocol according to NHL on NBC's Pierre McGuire, then returned to the bench. He played one more shift after that at 8:36 but would not hit the ice again for the rest of the Penguins’ 3-2 win. "Obviously we lost him for the rest of the period. He's day-to-day with an upper-body injury," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "It's a blindside hit to the head. He gets a penalty. I'm sure the league will look at it." Marleau, obviously, saw it differently and didn’t think the League would suspend him. “I don’t think so. I kept my shoulder in and elbow in and everything. I just kinda let him skate into me," he said. “I wanted to keep everything down. Didn’t get too up high.” Was this the right decision by the NHL? Yes, it was. There are two things happening on this play, both in Marleau’s favor for exoneration. The first is that he’s delivering a full body check, aiming for the far shoulder of Rust. Continue to Article

Harnarayan Singh is the play-by-play voice for Hockey Night In Canada Punjabi, which is thought to be the only regular game coverage of the NHL that’s not in English or French. He’s a national treasure for many reasons, chief among them his creative goal calls. For example, when he somehow worked Nikita Kucherov’s name into the song lyrics of a famous Punjabi song during the Tampa Bay Lightning’s run. Nick Bonino of the Pittsburgh Penguins is also a favorite of Singh’s. In the Eastern Conference semifinals against the Washington Capitals, the Penguins center scored and Singh just shouted “Bonino, Bonino, Bonino, Bonino, Bonino!” in celebration. In Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, Bonino had the game-winning goal with just over two minutes left in regulation against the San Jose Sharks. And Singh didn’t disappoint: *Blesses your timeline* #BONINOBONINOBONINO @IceSinghHNIC @RandipJanda @HarpPandher @BhupinderHundal pic.twitter.com/07TXfKje21 — Hockey Night Punjabi (@HkyNightPunjabi) May 31, 2016 Well that was amazing. "BOOOOOO-NEEEEEEEEE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" As these things do, the goal call went viral after the game on social media. And as these things do, they inspired some fans to contribute their own “Bonino, Bonino, Bonino!” goal calls: . @HkyNightPunjabi Bang #BONINOBONINOBONINO pic.twitter.com/oDur68Spli — Doctor Nick (@nick_dece) May 31, 2016 And @HkyNightPunjabi #BONINOBONINOBONINO pic.twitter.com/5mVMJ0JYhH — Andrew Korbel (@korbelandrew) May 31, 2016 That Hockey Night In Canada Punjabi exists is one of our favorite things in the NHL, so we’re thrilled to see that crew get the spotlight on the game’s biggest stage. -- Greg Wyshynski is a writer for Yahoo Sports.
