While the scrum in the game's final minutes grabbed everyone's attention, what impressed me most about this game was that the Flyer's 19-year-old rookie was paired against the likely league MVP and pretty much shut him down. Yes, Malkin got on the board, but not while Couturier was on the ice. Then Coots went 63% on face-offs against Crosby, and came out of the game a plus 2. I can't wait to watch this kid become a superstar. Schenn more than held his own too. I gotta think that's what was getting under the Penguins' skin more than the rough play. They just weren't expecting to be humbled by some rookies.
