Pittsburgh’s Dynastic Duo

Pittsburgh's Dynastic Duo - New York Times
More than any other team sport, hockey comes close to being an art form because of the patterns and the repetitions, the bright uniforms, the flurries of action punctuated by bursts of improvisation.
87 & 71 as artists...
When they play together with a man advantage, they are downright pretty to watch, with their hipper-dipper moves, the control of the puck with their sticks, the alert passes, the crisp reversals of direction, often slightly quicker than their opponents, with little bursts of skill and intelligence, superiority coming out, breaking down the home team in front of despairing fans.

At least one NYC media outlet understands thier talent and doesn't blame the refs for the Rangers being in a 3-0 hole.
