Marian Hossa now 3 wins away from avoiding being that trivia answer. I will say he was flat out the best player on the ice in game 1. No he did not score one of the 11 combined goals in the game but he had 2 assists and was a +2, now a +10 for the playoffs. In hockey you can have a major impact without scoring a goal and he exactly that. Hossa created numerous odd man rushes dealt with the defense following him and opened up the ice for his teammates. He played a very unselfish game, a style he never incorporated in his last 2 finals with Pittsburgh and Detroit.
