Crosby Versus Ovechkin: Legacies on the Line.
BRIGGS: It truly was an unfortunate night to have to go to bed at 8:00. Truly sad.</s>KOSIK: I missed it all.</s>BRIGGS: A pair of game seven in the Stanley Cup playoffs, none bigger than Penguins captain trip to the finals on the line, Alison.</s>KOSIK: Coy Wire, he's got more in this morning's "Bleacher Report". Good morning.</s>BRIGGS: Hey, buddy.</s>COY WIRE, CNN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT: Great morning to you, Alison and Dave. Arguably the two biggest hockey stars on the planet, the Capitals' Alex Ovechkin, the Penguins' Sidney Crosby. Both came into the league in 2005 but entirely different careers. Ovechkin the Russian has never been to a conference finals. Can you believe that? Versus Mr. Perfect, Sid the Kid, two Olympic golds, two Stanley Cups, including last season's. These guys aren't just talented but they're tough as nails. Remember that vicious crash into the boards Crosby took two days prior? This after already having missed a game in this series due to concussion. Well, Sidney Crosby would play a part in the ice-breaking goal in game seven. Yes, there it is. Brian Russ putting the pens up 1-0. The star of this game, though, guys -- Pittsburgh's Marc-Andre Fleury. The crafty vet only playing because Matt Murray's injured, turning back the clock, turning away all 29 of the Capitals' shots including one from Ovechkin. Penguins win in the nation's Capital 2-0 with Ovechkin suffering the seventh painful game seven exit of his career. Sidney Crosby four wins away from another shot at a Stanley Cup Series. The Anaheim Ducks breaking their game seven curls with a win over the Edmonton Oilers. Before last night, the ducks having lost five straight in do or die games but that narrative changed last night. The Ducks keeping the league's leading scorer and arguably the future of hockey, the spectacular Connor McDavid, scoreless all night. Ducks win 2-1, now will face Nashville in the western conference finals. As Dave mentioned, a rough night in the nation's capital, sports-wise. Capitals eliminated, Wizards down 3-2 games to the Celtics, game six in that series is tomorrow.</s>KOSIK: OK.</s>BRIGGS: All right, buddy. So, Ovechkin, Lavrov, Kislyak, they can all just leave D.C. Thank you, Coy. Appreciate it.</s>KOSIK: And just a side note, ice hockey keeping dentists' pockets lined for ages.</s>BRIGGS: Always indeed.</s>KOSIK: Violent sport. What was the president's mindset leading up to his firing of James Comey? Turns out as the Russia investigation heated up, so did the president's temper. That's next.
