Logan Couture wasn't in the mood to admire Sidney Crosby's faceoff technique after Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night.

The San Jose Sharks forward called out the Pittsburgh Penguins captain, who cleanly won the draw that led to teammate Conor Sheary's overtime winner.

“He times them and (the referees) don’t kick him out for some reason, probably because of who he is," Couture told reporters, according to ESPN's Craig Custance.

Crosby won 71 percent of his faceoffs in Game 2, and 56 percent in Game 1.

He led the league with 472 offensive-zone draws won during the regular season, and entered Wednesday leading all playoff skaters in the same category.

The Penguins take a 2-0 series lead to San Jose for Game 3 on Saturday.

The Pittsburgh Penguins own a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup Final thanks to a wonderfully crafted, and apparently spontaneous set play off an offensive zone draw a little more than two-and-a-half minutes into overtime.

Watch as Sidney Crosby pulls the puck back to Kris Letang, to then float a pass into a soft area between defenders for Conor Sheary, who pulled the puck from his skates to fire beyond Martin Jones' tardy glove hand to end Game 2.

Sheary's fourth of the postseason, and second of the series, is his first career game-winner, and has the Penguins within two wins of the Stanley Cup.

Real recognizing real ... from ice level.

On the glass for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday, Steelers superstar wideout Antonio Brown showed love for another elite Pittsburgh-area athlete - and occasional workout partner - in Sidney Crosby.

The HBK line is at it again.

Carl Hagelin stole the puck from Brenden Dillon and fed it to Nick Bonino, whose attempt was chipped in by Phil Kessel for the opening goal Wednesday in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

It was Kessel's 10th goal of the playoffs, and his line produced its 50th point in 20 postseason contests.

Patric Hornqvist had to test it just to make sure.

There were a pair of black circular objects pinballing between skates early in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final after a camera operator dropped a lens on the ice.

Despite cries, the fumbled equipment didn't earn the Penguins a whistle and instead was scooped up after they exited the defensive zone.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will indeed dress their hottest goal-scorer in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.

After being forced to exit Pittsburgh's icebreaking win over the San Jose Sharks on Monday following an illegal check to the head from Patrick Marleau, Bryan Rust will return to regular duty in Game 2.

Rust is riding a three-game scoring streak, which includes both goals in the Penguins' 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 7, and their first of the Cup final.

Marleau avoided supplemental discipline for delivering the blow.

Roman Polak knows one of his teammates isn't quite like the others.

"Everybody is the opposite of Brent Burns," the Sharks defenseman said when asked about how his fellow blue-liner's personality compares to that of San Jose rearguard Marc-Edouard Vlasic, according to Seth Rorabaugh of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

"He's one of a kind," Polak added. "I don't see any other guy like him. I think I'm the opposite of him. I'm crazy but in a different way though. He's just a different level. It's just too far to reach."

Between Burns' facial hair, his choice of wardrobe, and his collection of exotic pets, there's no disputing Polak's assessment.

It's arguably the least sexy deadline day. Take it away, Elliotte Friedman:

According to Friedman, the Columbus Blue Jackets, who hired head coach John Tortorella from the Vancouver Canucks, are holding on to their 2016 second-round draft pick. Columbus has another two years to fork over a second-rounder.

Friedman also chimes in on the Edmonton Oilers, who owe the Boston Bruins a second-round selection for the hiring of general manager Peter Chiarelli.

The Toronto Maple Leafs want to ensure the 2016 draft is their best yet.

Despite owing third-round picks to the Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils as compensation for hiring head coach Mike Babcock and general manager Lou Lamoriello, the Maple Leafs will hold on to their 2016 third-round draft pick, reports Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman and General Fanager.

Wednesday was the deadline for Toronto to decide the fate of the 2016 pick, and their decision ensures the Red Wings will receive the Maple Leafs' 2017 third-round pick, while the Devils will receive Toronto's 2018 third-round pick.

The Maple Leafs have 12 picks in the coming draft, including the first overall selection.

Nick Bonino is becoming a household name. His surname in particular, actually.

The Pittsburgh Penguins forward is not only having the playoffs of his life, he's become a social media star thanks to Hockey Night in Punjabi's incredible calls of his goals, punctuated by repeated yells of "Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino!"

Here's the call from Monday's Game 1 of the Cup Final, if you (somehow) missed it:

The Penguins have heard the calls and taken notice. In fact, they're shouting "Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino!" in their dressing room, writes Sportsnet's Chris Johnston.

"We think they're great," head coach Mike Sullivan said. "We threw them on the game review for our guys to listen to. They got a kick out of it. It's entertaining, that's for sure. I hope we hear a few more of those."

Us too, coach.

"You'd be amazed at how often it gets called in this locker room," said defenseman Ben Lovejoy.

"I think it's awesome," added Olli Maatta. "It's even funnier because (Bonino) only scores big goals. That's when they get really fired up."

Harnarayan Singh is the "they" Maatta is referring to, and his calls have taken on a life of their own in Canada and the U.S. They're over the top, they're fun, they're in Punjabi, and they're bringing people together. Singh was on NPR recently to talk about how his calls have gone far beyond the Punjabi community.

Bonino, of course, is enjoying the spotlight. He's enjoying all of it - the goals, the calls, and the wins. Two of his four goals this spring have been game-winners - the first in overtime in the second round, and the second the margin of victory in Game 1.

"I told my family they should get the (call)" and make it their ringtone, Bonino said. "Then they know I'm calling."

A brilliant idea. Almost as good as the call. Say it loud, say it proud, and say it fast: "Bonino! Bonino! Bonino! Bonino!"
