Today, Vokoun talked about the benefit of an extra day of rest, being a starter at the age of 36 and moving on past the disappointing loss. Was it nice to have two days off after Game 3? "Yeah. Definitely. I was pretty tired. It ...

Senators' Greening won Game 3 despite having 'pieces' of fiberglass in his face - 05-20-13
Empty Netters | Pittsburgh Post-Gazette — With deadlines having been eradicated due the fact Game 3 between the Penguins and Senators went into two overtimes, members of the media grumbled over the fact Senators center Colin Greening was not available to speak until nearly 1 a.m. earlier today.
