PITTSBURGH – Penguins winger Bryan Rust admits he’s a little stunned by all the fuss people are making over whether he plays tonight in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Sharks.
After all, it’s not like he’s Sidney Crosby.
“This is a little unexpected,” Rust said, after the morning skate. “No one knew me. I haven’t had this many [people], but it’s a little overwhelming.”
Rust took a shoulder to the head from Patrick Marleau in the third period of Monday’s 3-2 Penguins victory and twice left the game. He is being treated as if he suffered a concussion.
