Sometimes these scenes write themselves.
As the pile of players cleared after the final horn sounded Monday night on a 3-2 Pittsburgh Penguins win to prolong their playoff series with the Philadelphia Flyers, there emerged Sidney Crosby.
The Pittsburgh captain had been on the bottom of the pile, which started with a scrum just as the buzzer sounded on the game.
A mass of players came together, pushing and shoving and swinging, before falling on the ice -- because sometimes, the ice is slippery even for professional hockey players.
It was hard to tell exactly what happened, but when the mess cleared, the last guy to get up was Crosby. He'd been below everyone else in that scrum.
And really, what sums up this Penguins series better than that?
