Supe Duper. Duplex. Whatever clever name you choose- Pascal Dupuis continues to be on fire.  With two goals against the Islanders last night, Duper proves that he doesn't need to be on a Crosby line to shine. In my opinion, he's one of the most underrated players in the game.

Letang also had an incredible game, not only scoring what others are reporting as a "rocket," but making John Tavares' life Hell. Big congrats to Beau Bennett and Tanner Glass on their goals. And FLEURY. Despite a lack of offense on the part of the Isles, Flower (and the rest of the D) didn't miss a step. Mark Eaton, former Islander, had a stellar night. Hell, I'm going to to blanketly say that everyone kicked Islander ass.

The Pens had a lot to prove going into this series, and while there's only one game behind us, I hope this set the tone for an awesome playoff run.
