How many goalie changes has Kennan made through the playoffs?

[Tomas]

One interesting tidbit - today's game attendance (16,435) broke the all-time league record.

[columbia]

Tim Brent and Chris Lee (who combined for 1 game for the Pens)?

Prague @ Magnitogorsk 4:7; Magnitogorsk wins the Cup series 4:3

(especially the 5th Magnitogorsk goal is quite good)

Sergei Mozyakin is worth every penny of the $5Mil Magnitogorsk apparently pays him.
