The game was chippy, as befits a Cup final rematch. Crosby went out of his way to throw an open-ice shoulder into Henrik Zetterberg, Detroit’s two-way center who usually plays opposite Crosby.
Brooks Orpik jarred Marian Hossa, who left the Penguins after last season to play for Detroit because the Wings, Hossa said at the time, had a better chance of winning the Cup. On Thursday, Orpik said he wished Hossa was still with Pittsburgh, but that did not stop him from nailing him in open ice.
