from Craig Custance of the Sporting News,
It was something he has seldom seen from Detroit Red Wings players, and Brooks Orpik is getting to know them pretty well. On their way to a series squaring 4-2 win, the Penguins took a one-goal lead when Sidney Crosby scored his first goal of the Stanley Cup finals.
Fellow defenseman Mark Eaton nudged Orpik and told him to check out Detroit’s bench after Crosby’s goal.
The players were slumped over. Exhausted. Nothing close to the dominant, immovable force the Penguins saw last year….
Even worse, Orpik said he noticed Red Wings players getting on each other.
“Which you never see out of those guys,” he said. “It’s something you don’t expect from them or see too often. I guess, a good sign for us.”
