Marc of excellence Pittsburgh's ace in the hole

PITTSBURGH - Mike Sullivan calls the energetic back-and-forth on the Pittsburgh Penguins bench "a man's argument".

If his players have something to say, Sullivan wants them to get it out. Enter Phil Kessel, the mercurial forward with the blistering shot and occasionally blistering tongue.

Kessel, frustrated by an inability to get any pucks past Ottawa's Craig Anderson, was caught on camera pounding his fists and ordering his teammates to look for him.
