from Katie Strang of ESPN,

There was Dallas Stars defensemen Darryl Sydor dragging himself across the ice after sustaining a significant knee and ankle injury in the 2000 Stanley Cup finals. There was Boston Bruins forwards Gregory Campbell and Patrice Bergeron, playing through a broken leg and a punctured lung, respectively, in Game 6 of the finals in 2013.

And in this year’s annual installment of hockey players showing either supreme toughness or slight insanity, we had Tampa Bay Lightning goaltender Ben Bishop fighting through clear discomfort in Game 3.

At times, the lanky 6-foot-7 netminder seemed to be in distress, laboring in the crease particularly when moving side to side, or hoisting himself back onto his haunches after going down to make a save.

The Stanley Cup, man. It drives people to do some crazy things.

"The burning desire to win, the burning desire to hoist the Stanley Cup," Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. "It can move mountains."
